- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This map layer includes Holocene volcanoes, which are those thought to be
active in the last 10,000 years, that are within an extended area of the
northern hemisphere centered on the United States. The data are a subset
of data available from the Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian
Institution at <http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/>. This file is a
replacement for the November 2001 map layer.
- Purpose:
-
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the
national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be
displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data.
No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in
the use of these data.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Further information on the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian
Institution is available at <http://www.volcano.si.edu/>.
A glossary of volcano terminology is available at
<http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/volcano_terminology.html>.

-
The Excel spreadsheet of Volcanoes of the World (VOL) was downloaded
from the Global Volcanism Program Web site and converted to a dBASE IV
file. West longitude and south latitude values were converted to
negative values. The points that are within the geographic extent of
the National Atlas SHORE file were extracted. The file was loaded into
ArcView and a shapefile was created.

The volcano number, based on a system developed by the Catalog of
Active Volcanoes of the World (CAVW), in the format ####-##-. The first
two numerals identify the region, the next two identify the subregion,
and the last two or three (after the hyphen) identify individual
volcanoes in that subregion. When there are three final characters and
the last character is "=", the number is the same as that found in the
CAVW; where the last character is "-", the number is not found in the
CAVW because the region was not numbered in the CAVW or has been
renumbered for this map layer; where the last character is a number, the
volcano is in an area included in the CAVW but the number is a new one
that does not appear in the CAVW. See

A volcano that resembles an inverted warrior's shield, with broad,

Basalt lava tends to build enormous, low-angle cones because it

lava to flow tens of kilometers from an erupting vent with very
little cooling.
