This shows just Richter 6.0 or higher events. Fans of applied projective geometry, sometimes known as
cartography, will recall that mapping a sphere to a flat rectangular area has its problems. Longitude
distorts as one approaches a pole and then there is the date line. Why aren't longitudes from 0 to 360
instead of 180 to -180? And latitudes from 0 to 180?
