A story on volcanoes

Wow a large volcano !

But… Where are they ?!

Let’s see where the large volcanoes are located !

Here’s a table with all volcanoes, their volcano explosivity index and where they are located

Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) : Relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions

And here are the countries where we can find most of them

But they are not here by accident…

We see that the volcanoes are mainly located on the edge of tectonic plates, this is where a lot of seismic activity occurs. Plates go one under the other and create lava resurgences on the surface, thus creating volcanic activity.

How explosive are each volcano types in general ?

What type of volcano scare people most ?

Let’s see locally how dangerous a certain volcano is for it’s surroundings
