Syntax order - Japan earthquakes
Your friend is impressed by your querying skills. She decides to create a query on her own that shows all earthquakes in Japan that were a magnitude of 8 or higher. She has constructed a query based on how she thought about what she requires. Her query will produce an error because of the incorrect ordering of the syntax. Also, the code requires reformatting to make it easy to read.
FROM Earthquakes WHERE
Country = 'JP' AND Magnitude >= 8
SELECT Date, Place
,NearestPop, Magnitude
ORDER BY Magnitude
DESC;
You will fix the query for her with a better coding format and correct the SQL syntax order.
