This script tracks the latest earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater that have occurred in the past hour. It uses the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program API to get the earthquake data in GeoJSON format, and then displays the location of the latest earthquake on a map using the Folium library. The location is also printed to the console along with other relevant details.
