def setup():
    size(800, 500)
    
    with open("quakes.csv") as f:
        reader = csv.reader(f)
        header = reader.next() # Skip the header row.
        
        #print header
            
        global times
        times = []
        global magnitudes
        magnitudes = []
        
        for row in reader:
            time = float(row[0])
            times.append(time)
            magnitude = float(row[4])
            magnitudes.append(magnitude)
#print times
        #print magnitudes
def draw():
    background(0)
    #text("time", width/2, 350)
    #print times[0]
    #print magnitudes[0]
    x = 0
    for magnitude in magnitudes:
        stroke(255)
        line(magnitude, times[x]*20, magnitude*50, times[x]*20)
        x += 1

the x axis represents magnitude of the earthquake (the longer, the stronger the magnitude)

the y-axis represents the time it was recorded: I edited the original data set to show time as a float (rather than day:hour:minute)
