Natural disasters, with their sources

Each point is the recorded origin of one published event, drawn the same size. The map does not show how far an event reached, or its extent, intensity or impact. Every point is also listed, with its place, under Events on record: that list is the text equivalent of this map.

The grey land is a decorative texture drawn from Natural Earth land outlines; it is not a grid WND uses. Its hexagons are all the same size on screen and have nothing to do with how precisely an event's location is known: an origin is a single recorded point, and its precision comes from its source. Coastlines are approximate, small islands may be missing, and Antarctica is not shown.
