Elite Earthquake Tracker

This project was created as part of the ELITE club at College LaSalle. It's a web application built with SvelteKit that visualizes earthquake data on an interactive map.

Major Components

• Frontend: Built with SvelteKit, featuring a responsive map interface using MapLibre GL.
• Data Source: Fetches real-time earthquake data from the USGS Earthquake API, filtering for earthquakes with magnitude 4.5+.
• Map Styling: Integrates with MapTiler for high-quality map tiles, with a fallback to OpenStreetMap.
• UI Components: Includes custom date pickers and sliders for filtering earthquakes by date range.
• API Routes: Server-side endpoints for handling map style requests.

Features

• Interactive map displaying earthquake locations with color-coded markers based on magnitude.
• Date range filtering using calendar pickers and dual-range sliders.
• Popup details for each earthquake showing magnitude, location, and time.
• Responsive design with dark theme.
