Animated Maps: Ten Thousand Years of Volcanic Eruptions

Let's look back at over ten thousand years of volcanic eruptions. This animated map groups eruptions using the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) with indices from 0 to 8. For reference, the 1977 eruption of Kilauea has VEI of 0 and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens has a VEI of 5.

Nice, the tutorial still on the way? So looking for it

Are the volcanos all historically documented and if so, where is the reference for each as I'm researching volcanic eruption locations going as far back as possible. Also with all the massive earth changes over many years, how can we accurately map them?
Thanks!

Great animation but I would like to see dates as they occur to establish a possible pattern in what seems like the Earth's breathing or pulsing.

Awesome....did you create that time so could you do one with certain or added parameters to say include minerals and or

Which was the most powerful eruption in the last 10, 000 years? Was Rinjani (1257AD) more powerful than Ilopango (535AD)? Was the one that formed Crater Lake in Oregon the most powerful? (Mount Mazama)

[SerhanOgan]

That pulsation is worth investigating.

[snowysmile]

Pinatubo and Taal was so OP in the country

[johnrandel]

Why does it pulse? Is that an animation factor or do all those eruptions happen at the same time, repeatedly?

[MiMayonGo]

Taal was a supervolcano years ago

Edit: before taal's volcano island formastion

[MiMayonGo]

Look At Taal Caldera It is so powerful

[alejandronunez]

i think this shows why the Yellowstone could erupt soon too... scary...

[flobiekenobi]

mabye center that puppy on the Pacific ocean?

This timelapse is super shit, because Indonesia and Filipine definitely have more eruption in the last 100 years more than any country in the world, this list is super bias..
