Read the entire document before proceeding.  Your response will contain two components.


The United States Geological Survey (USGS) actively monitors earthquake all over the world and releases data that contains this data to anyone who wants download it.  This information can be found via the link https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/csv.php.  

Most of you are familiar with Google Maps and how you can customize the map to display your data.  This data is uploaded vial KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files.  KML files are in XML format.

Your task is to write a Python script that download the current day's worth of earthquake data via the link https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_day.csv.  You must use Pandas to parse the CSV data.

I don't expect you to know XML, so you can use my sample KML file as a reference.

My sample map is here.  Do not worry if the markers on your map look like mine.  I just want to make sure you were able to place the markers on the map.

 

For your response, I need two links:

  1. A read-only link to your Jupyter Notebook file with your parser code.
  2. A read-only link to your map.  Part of the goal of this exercise is for you to figure out how to import KML data into a custom google map.  You can start by browsing to https://mymaps.google.com.

You are welcome to use any PyPi modules you can find to create the KML data.  But you must use Pandas to parse the CSV data.
