The table below shows the heights of some well known volcanic activity around the world - Leaving Cert Geography - Question 1 - 2007

Label the vertical axis clearly with ‘Height in Metres’. Ensure that the label is centered and legible, so that it is easy to interpret the graph.

Label the horizontal axis as ‘Volcano Name and Location’. It is important that this label is centered and clearly visible to avoid confusion while interpreting the data.

Using a consistent scale, plot each volcano on the horizontal axis according to its height on the vertical axis. For instance:

• Vesuvius-Italy at 1281 metres
• Krakatoa-Indonesia at 813 metres
• Fuji-Japan at 3776 metres
• Rainier-USA at 4392 metres
• St. Helens-USA at 2549 metres
• Stromboli-Italy at 924 metres Make sure to evenly distribute the volcano names along the x-axis.

For each volcano, draw a bar that reaches from the horizontal axis up to the height of the volcano as indicated on the vertical axis. Make sure the bars are of equal width and spaced evenly to enhance readability.

Finally, add a title at the top of your graph that summarizes what it represents. For example, ‘Heights of Various Volcanoes Around the World’ will clearly indicate the data being represented.
