Volcano Eruptions

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Makeover Monday 0709

This week’s topic is Volcano Eruption. It tells where are the volcanoes and when did they last eruppted. You can find the original viz here. It looks very fancy.. But somehow not very intuitive to understand.

My Visualization

Well… Again, maps plus summary bar charts…

Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.

Insights

• Regions with most volcanoes are not those with most active volcanoes - which is a good news?;
• As we probably all know, most of the volcanoes located along the coast or between two continent plates;
• Asian and Pacific Regions have seen most recently eruppted colvanoes.
