Hi Maveryx,
A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.
You have two datasets available:
1. The Holocene Volcanoes dataset contains a list of all volcanoes that have erupted within the past 10,000 years.
2. The 2023 Eruptions dataset contains data on eruptions that either commenced or are ongoing in the year 2023.
To solve this challenge, you need to accomplish two specific tasks:
Task 1: Create a combined table to flag volcanoes that are currently erupting and those with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 3 or higher (>=3). Additionally, identify eruptions in 2023 that have lasted for more than 10 years.
Task 2: Create points and use the Report Map tool to create a visually informative map that displays all volcanoes, both currently erupting and those that have ceased activity, with the following legend:
- Orange triangles: Volcanoes currently erupting (continuing)
- Green circles: Eruptions that have stopped.
- Red flag: Volcanoes with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 3 or higher.
