Global map showing the distribution of large 5.8+ magnitude historic earthquakes derived from seismic wave measurements after the compilation by Hayes (2018). Shown are individual epicentres coloured by depth. For a nice looking poster graphic, see s-ink.org/earthquake-distribution-map-poster .
The Scientific colour map ‘oslo‘ is used to represent earthquake depth accurately and to all readers.
