The map is interesting, because it is presents the data in 3 ways:

1. With the help of heatmap - please read about heatmap creation in OpenWebGIS in these articles: "Heatmap and Interpolation in OpenWebGIS (very easy and interesting)" and "How to create a heatmap on the map using JavaScript, Openlayers and canvas".

2. With the help of usual points the color of which depends on the magnitude of the earthquake. The values
