About This Presentation

  • Created on: Tuesday, October 27, 2026
  • Built with R Markdown (ioslides_presentation) and Plotly
  • Uses two datasets that ship with R, so no downloads are needed:
    • quakes: 1,000 earthquakes near Fiji since 1964
    • ChickWeight: weights of chicks raised on 4 different diets
  • Every plot is interactive: hover, zoom, rotate, click legend items, or press Play

Drag to rotate. The tilted sheet of quakes traces the Tonga plate sinking under the Pacific.

Magnitude vs. Number of Reporting Stations

Bigger earthquakes are picked up by more seismic stations, which is an almost linear relationship.
