Volcanoes of Earth Infographic

VOLCANOES OF EARTH SHOWDOWN ► CANVAS & TITLE 4K landscape infographic, aspect-ratio 3:2, dark charcoal-ash background (# 100A08) with faint 5% lava-crack texture in deep red-orange. Header bar (top 8%): "EARTH'S MOST EXTREME VOLCANOES" in white wide condensed sans, letter-spaced; subtitle ribbon in lava-orange monospace: "Mauna Loa • Krakatoa • Vesuvius • Yellowstone • Pinatubo • Taal • Etna" ► MAIN ILLUSTRATIONS Seven vertical panels — cinematic aerial-perspective renders of each volcano's summit, 400px tall, photoreal: Mauna Loa: shield profile, slow pahoehoe lava rivers glowing red, Pacific ocean edge visible, amber accent Krakatoa: jagged caldera remnant island, grey steam column, dark teal ocean surround, teal accent Vesuvius: Mediterranean coastal setting, Naples visible in background haze, orange-red accent Yellowstone: flat supervolcano plain, grand prismatic spring colors visible, geysers, gold accent Pinatubo: green jungle-clad peaks with ash-grey summit scar, lahar channels, silver accent Taal: lake inside island inside lake, nested caldera aerial, blue-magma accent Etna: snow-capped peak with active central craters glowing, Sicily foothills, crimson accent Each panel has 12px outer glow: Mauna=# FF8C00, Krakatoa=# 00CED1, Vesuvius=# FF4500, Yellow=# FFD700, Pinatubo=# C0C0C0, Taal=# 9400D3, Etna=# DC143C ► SPEC MATRIX (centre 60% height; nine rows, thin ember separators) SPECMAUNA LOAKRAKATOAVESUVIUSYELLOWSTONEPINATUBOTAALETNA Type Shield Stratovolcano Stratovolcano Supervolcano Stratovolcano Complex caldera Stratovolcano Height (m) 4,169 813 1,281 ~640 (rim) 1,486 311 3,357 Last Major Eruption 2022 2018 (Anak) 79 CE (Plinian) 70,000 BCE (last super) 1991 2022 2024 VEI (Peak) 0–1 6 5 8 (ancient) 6 4 3 Magma Type Basaltic Andesitic Phonolitic/trachytic Rhyolitic Dacitic Basaltic/andesitic Basaltic/trachyte Eruption Style Effusive/lava flows Explosive/caldera Plinian/explosive Caldera-forming Sub-Plinian Phreatomagmatic Strombolian/effusive Hazard Radius 50 km (lava) 300 km (tsunami) 20 km (PDC) Continental scale 100 km (ash) 14 km evacuation 30 km Monitoring Level HVO continuous PVMBG continuous INGV continuous YVO continuous PHIVOLCS continuous PHIVOLCS active INGV continuous Historical Deaths ~100 36,000+ 16,000+ (79 CE) — 700+ 6,000+ (1911) Hundreds ► SIDE VISUALS Left gutter: cross-section diagram of all seven volcano shapes at consistent scale — showing shield vs stratovolcano vs supervolcano caldera profiles, in accent colors, labeled.
