MakeoverMonday wk28 – Volcano Eruptions

For #MakeoverMonday week 28, this week it was time to work with Volcano eruption data. We have been hearing lot about disruptions caused by Volcano in last few years and this dataset was about all volcanoes with their geo spatial information and rock type.

Here is the original viz:

original visualization

Data is available on data.world and source of data was Global Volcano Program

Whats good?

  • Color selected to highlight the active and inactive volcanos
  • Label given to known volcanoes which were in news in last few years.
  • Sorting by size showing the elevation height of volcanoes and its type

Here is what I did:

  • Plotted terrain map with the location of each volcanos and if user selects any volcano then details section to state the details along with the tooltip.
  • Added dot plot using shape with their rock types to know about various rock type found in volcanoes
  • splitted the years mentioned into 5 buckets to show how volcanoes eruptions have evolved in last few years

Here is the Image of the visualisation I created (Click on image to get interactive version):
