Load, parse, and process USGS earthquake data in GeoJSON or JSON formats.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# USGS Earthquake Data Analysis

## Overview
USGS earthquake data is typically provided in GeoJSON format or as JSON with earthquake features. Understanding the data structure is essential for filtering, processing, and analysis.

## Standard USGS Data Format

### GeoJSON Structure
```json
{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "id": "us1000abc1",
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Point",
        "coordinates": [longitude, latitude, depth]
      },
      "properties": {
        "mag": 4.5,
        "place": "12 km E of somewhere",
        "time": 1632000000000,
        "updated": 1632100000000,
        "url": "https://...",
        "detail": "https://...",
        "felt": null,

        "types": ",origin,phase-data,"
      }

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cxcscmu/skilllearnbench/usgs-earthquake-analysis@sha256:9b3467aa61318096

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.d50cf5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
