UK EarthQuake

Whether you’re passionate about earthquake science in general or you’re keener to finding out data about the earthquakes occurring in Turkey, there are several methods of identifying the necessary data. However, in an attempt to simplify things and let users access such information much easier, UK EarthQuake was developed as a tool that allows one to visualize earthquake data on all the events that have occurred in Turkey, on a given time period.

The application’s main working principle relies on a list-display of all the earthquake events, having several columns for the different parameters which constitute the basis for evaluating such phenomena.

Users must be aware though that the application focuses entirely on the country of Turkey and all the locations represent either cities or nearby localities. The details tab contains information which is in Turkish; although it is scientific data, it would have been nice for it to be translated to the closest equivalent.

Each of the columns that are assigned to a particular parameter features a dedicated filtering button, which allows users to select only the preferred data. This is highly useful, especially if you’re interested solely in a single or several locations.

Besides applying filters, users can also perform a sorting operation to all columns; this is also useful, especially when trying to visualize the data according to a particular parameter’s magnitude.

If you need an effective tool for staying up-to-date on the earthquakes happening in Turkey, this application could “fill those shoes” nicely. Featuring a simple design and lots of useful sorting and filtering capabilities, it offers a good overview of the earthquake events.
