Fig. 1: Global distribution of mountainous terrain and Holocene volcanic activity.
From: Lava effusion in mountainous terrain generates flow backup and excess inundation
Holocene volcanoes are represented by triangles, while mountainous terrain is shaded in grey. 78% of all Holocene volcanoes are found within mountainous terrain (orange and red triangles); of that, 56% (red triangles) are located within high mountain terrain. Geospatial mountain data sourced from the K3 Global Mountains resource39, based on the four mountain classes in the 250 m global Hammond Landforms data layer. Holocene volcanic data is sourced from the Volcanoes of the World Database distributed by Smithsonian Institution89. Multidirectional hillshade sourced from Airbus, USGS, NGA, NASA, CGIAR, NLS, OS, NMA, Geodatastyrelsen, GSA, GSI, and the GIS User Community.
