This choropleth map visualizes the distribution of total earthquakes across US states using a diverging color scale. The map is rendered as an SVG using D3.js and the `geoAlbersUsa` projection, with state boundaries drawn via `geoPath`. Earthquake counts are logarithmically transformed and mapped to a threshold color scale from the `schemeOrRd` palette, while hovering highlights states in light green. The data is loaded from CSV and TopoJSON files, and tooltips display state name, region, and raw earthquake totals.
