Earthquake Scatterplot

This scatterplot was created from this table of most costly earthquakes found on Wikipedia. The original table includes event rank, year, location, magnitude, and property damage amounts as unadjusted costs. In cases where a range was given, the midpoint value has been used in the visualization. Each incident is color-coded by continent. (Continent data was manually added.)

This work was forked from curran's block: Scatter Plot Axis Labels, part of the video course: D3.js in Motion.
