    Day 18 Homework - Problem #2

    We want to answer the following question:
    What is the variation of depths in the recorded earthquakes, in the
    state of Alaska?

    To answer the question you must plot the depths of earthquakes stored in
    the data structure given by get_report, for that state.
    The code provided counts the number of earthquakes in that state.
    Review the code to understand how to check the location of the earthquake,
    in relation to the state. You may also reuse some of the code for your
    solution.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

quake_list = earthquakes.get_report("day","all")
count = 0
for quake in quake_list["earthquakes"]:
    # The "in" operation is True when the left string appears
    # inside the right string
    if "Alaska" in quake["location_description"]:
        count = count + 1
print(count)
