The Dataset: Fiji Earthquakes

We are analyzing the quakes dataset, which records 1,000 seismic events near Fiji since 1964.

Key Variables:

  • Latitude & Longitude: Location of the event.
  • Depth: Depth in kilometers (the Z-axis).
  • Magnitude: The Richter scale intensity (represented by color).

Observation

Notice how the earthquakes form distinct “slabs” dipping deep into the earth, visualizing the subduction zone plates.
