Earthquakes!

Visualizing earthquakes is pretty satisfying: they happen at a specific location and time, the global database extends back 100+ years, and they occur in a distinct spatial pattern that tells us a lot about the inner working of our planet. Here are three great visualizations:
  1. As an animated map (1915 to 2015)
  2. As a heatmap (1915 to 2015)
  3. As a beautiful static map
Now...which data viz is the 'best'?

How about tremors over the past day, week, or month?
Or Understanding Earthquakes (based on 10 years of data)?
