Summary

Description
English: Earthquakes of moment magnitude 8.0 and greater since 1900. The apparent 3D volumes of the bubbles are linearly proportional to their respective fatalities, i.e. their radii are linearly proportional to the cube root of the fatalities. Data is from http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/mag8/magnitude8_1900_date.php .
