Project Description
---
Boom_fx_max uses all eleven days of data in one image. This constitutes 4,567 earthquakes being represented in every output. This differs from the original Boom_fx which used hours of time on one of the eleven days and typically included a few hundred seismic events.

There are eleven new colour palettes and seven different ratios to organize relationships between visual elements.

The earthquake data comes from the USGS API. There is further documentation (./documentation/Information_about_boom_fx_max.md) included with this project that outlines how this data was collected and the information included in these feeds.
