<commit_before>Source quickstart
=================

Mapbox Studio does not apply visual styles to geospatial data files directly. Instead, raw data is converted into [mapnik vector tiles](./HOWTO-introduction.md#what-are-vector-tiles). The *Source editor* transforms [traditional geodata formats](./HOWTO-sources.md#supported-formats) into vector tiles containing the appropriate layers and configurations needed for styling.

In this tutorial we'll create vector tiles from geodata and use it to create a custom map style showing our data on a map.

In this crash course, we’ll use [earthquake data from the USGS](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/) to make a map showing points for earthquakes that have occurred.
