Final Project Proposal

Topic: Earthquake hit Virginia, CA and rattled New York, Washington D.C., and others in the east coast.

Methods: Obtain land data from UCLA map share or TIGER website. Make up to 3 maps focusing on the main areas affected by the earthquake. At least one of these maps should show elevation. Also, indicate the areas that were most devastated by the earthquake. Geocode cities and major cities of each state using excel sheets. Add buffers around the earthquake epicenter to show what extent impacted nearby states. Show population data according to each state per province. The earthquake hit today so it is necessary to gather more information and do further research on the subject matter.
