Plan:
- add table w countries and number of active/holocene volcanoes (ADDED LIST)
- add information into Philippines section DONE
- add information into Hawaii section of US section DONE
- add Iceland section DONE
- revise definition of active volcano (DONE)
- edit overview section for clarity/accuracy of information DONE
--> deal w sentence that is flagged as "vague" and "clarification needed" DONE
--> fix first sentence in overview (not currently a full sentence), look at history of edits and what was there before DONE
Edits to add:
An active volcano is a volcano that has erupted during the Holocene (the current geologic epoch of last 10,000 years), is currently erupting, or has the potential to erupt in the future.[1] A volcano that is not currently erupting but could erupt in the future is known as a dormant volcano.[1] Volcanoes that will not erupt again are known as extinct volcanoes. [1]
Countries with the most Holocene volcanoes, according to the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History Global Volcanism Program:[2]
- United states: 165
- Japan: 122
- Russia: 117
- Indonesia 117
- Chile: 91
Countries with the most volcanoes active since 1960:[3]
- Indonesia: 55
- Japan: 40
- US: 39 (mostly volcanic areas in and around Hawaii, Alaska, and Pacific territories)
- Russia: 27
- Chile: 19
- Papua New Guinea: 13
- Ecuador: 12
Holocene volcanoes with large populations within 5km:
Michoacan-Guanajuato volcano in Mexico and Tatun Volcanic Group in Taiwan both have more than 5 million people living within 5 kilometers of the volcano. Campi Flegrei in Italy and Ilopango in El Salvador both have populations of over 2 million people living within 5 kilometers of the volcanoes. Hainan Volcanic Field in China, San Pablo Volcanic Field in the Philippines, Ghegham Volcanic Ridge in Armenia, Dieng Volcanic Complex, in Indonesia, and Auckland Volcanic Field in New Zealand all have over 1 million people living within 5 kilometers of each volcano.[4]
