What is the overall topic and the goal of your project?

The overall topic of my project describes how serious earthquakes are in our world. The goal of the project is that the readers can understand the impact of earthquakes in our world. Not just they must understand the magnitude, but also must understand the deaths because of how serious the earthquakes are.

What sites did you use to collect your data and create the infographic and what did you learn about it?

The 3 sites (listed on the bottom of my infographic) were Ocean Networks, Al Jazeera news, and Math and You. After using those sites, I understood that earthquakes in our world are serious. According to my data, their magnitude are from 6-8 which is very serious and can cause many impacts like destroyed communities. Also, I used types of data that works best for the infographic.

How has the process of utilizing these sites impacted your understanding of how technology can change (or help) the world?

Those sites impacted my understanding. When I first heard about earthquakes, I didn’t know much. After doing a project on a news article, I chose the Turkey-Syria earthquake. After that project, I learned that not just the magnitude that affected the countries, but it destroyed plenty of things like houses and buildings and caused many deaths. Also the other sites impacted my understanding because of the magnitude level. I learned that higher the magnitude, the more serious the earthquake is.
