Makeover Monday W28 – 2018, Volcano Eruptions

It was a very informative Makeover Monday this time. I had to go through a few articles to understand the data-set properly. I have a little better understanding of which countries have volcanoes and what the main rock type or the primary volcano type is, and about the ring of fire etc.

I liked the original viz. Please see below:

original visualization

It denotes different volcano types with different shapes and colored with respect to the eruption date from past to present, representing past to present as lighter to darker.

What I tried to do is to focus on one of the countries. My pick was Japan, including Japan administered by Russia. My aim was to:

  1. Have a closer look at the volcanoes on the map to know their exact location,
  2. Highlight the main volcano type in Japan, and
  3. Visually represent the volcanoes below and above sea level.

Japan is heavily affected by volcanoes and hence I thought it would be a good pick for analysis. Please find my viz below.
