This function plots seismicity on a surface. If include_map is set to True, a nice natural earth map is used, otherwise the seismicity is just plotted on a blank grid. In the latter case, the grid is stretched according to the midpoint latitude.

Parameters:

• longitudes – Array of longitudes.

• latitudes – Array of latitudes.

• magnitudes – Array of magnitudes, used for scaling of dot sizes.

• resolution – Resolution of the map, “10m”, “50m” and “110m” available.

• include_map – If True, seismicity will be plotted on natural earth map, otherwise it will be plotted on a blank grid.

• country – Name of country, if None map will fit to data points.

• colors – Color of background. If None is chosen, it will be either white or standard natural earth colors.

• style – Style of map, “satellite” or “street” are available.

• dot_smallest – Smallest dot size for magnitude scaling.

• dot_largest – Largest dot size for magnitude scaling.

• dot_interpolation_power – Interpolation power for scaling.

• dot_labels – Determines how labels for magnitudes can be created. Input for matplotlib’s PathCollection.legend_elements. If None, no label is shown. If an integer, target to use dot_labels elements in the normed range. If “auto”, an automatic range is chosen for the labels (default). If a list, uses elements of list which are between minimum and maximum magnitude of dataset for the legend. Finally, a ~.ticker.Locator can be provided to use a predefined matplotlib.ticker (e.g. FixedLocator, which results in the same legend as providing a list of values).

Returns:

ax – GeoAxis object
