Volcanoes of the world

The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program's 1,214 Holocene volcanoes as a six-slide briefing: the volcanic regions, the 660 stratovolcanoes against every other landform, the 231 that erupted since 2000, the Andean giants extruded by elevation, and the East African Rift. Presenter notes on every slide.

A century of great earthquakes

Every M7+ earthquake since 1900 from the USGS catalog: 1,618 events, 108 of them M8 or larger. Ring-of-fire choreography, per-chapter time windows, pulsing highlights on the four M9s (Kamchatka 1952, Valdivia 1960, Alaska 1964, Sumatra 2004, Tōhoku 2011) and a final chapter that extrudes magnitude into 3D columns.

CO₂: who burns what

Our World in Data's CO₂ series joined to Natural Earth countries. Per-capita choropleths for 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2022 that crossfade as you scroll, a Gulf close-up where Qatar reaches 38 tonnes per person, and a final 3D chapter extruding total emissions: China 11,712 Mt, the United States 5,055, India 2,831.
