This choropleth map visualizes earthquake totals across U.S. states, using color intensity to show logarithmic counts in a sequential red scheme. The map renders geographic boundaries with `d3.geoPath` and the Albers USA projection, while state colors are assigned via a `d3.scaleThreshold` using `d3.schemeOrRd`. Data comes from a CSV of earthquake records and TopoJSON state geometries, processed using the `topojson.feature` API. Hovering a state highlights its border through CSS, though tooltip code is incomplete in the source.
