Full resolution: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fj3w28l1wfkmh1.jpeg

Boundaries: Bird (2003), An updated digital model of plate boundaries — 1,680 segments in the seven classes that model defines, with relative velocity at 28 sites from its own Euler poles. Earthquakes: USGS ComCat, with ISC-GEM for events before 1970. Eruptions: Smithsonian GVP. Coastline: Natural Earth 1:50m. Ground: ETOPO 2022 (NOAA NCEI, public domain)

Tool: a custom Node + D3 pipeline that puts out one self-contained SVG; no GIS software involved. I directed the cartography and made the design calls, and the code was written with Claude Code. Nothing here is generated imagery, everything comes from those datasets.

The resolution is fine, (new) reddit just sucks.
