Downlod Shapfile volcanoes of the world
This datalayer is point coverage containing basic geographic and
geologic information for worldwide volcanoes thought to have been active
in the last 10,000 years (Holocene). The data is a collection of
information by Smithsonian Institution volcanologists summarizing 1,509
volcanoes and this version of the data set was published as part of the
USGS Global GIS : global coverage database. The data was adapted from
Simkin and Siebert, 1994 "Volcanoes of the World: an Illustrated Catalog
of Holocene Volcanoes and their Eruptions" and produced digitally by
the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program.
The data include a unique volcano number, volcano name, location,
latitude and longitude, summit elevation, volcano type, status, and the
time range of the last recorded eruption. More detailed descriptions of
the data elements, plus more information on the volcanoes and their
eruptions, can be found below and in "Volcanoes of the World" (Simkin
and Siebert, 1994). The book provides a discussion of the many cautions
that are so easily stripped away from an electronic database
