RESUMO
This data descriptor assigns the major and minor rock names from worldwide Holocene volcanoes of the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) using the Total Alkali-Silica diagram (TAS) for the chemical classification of volcanic rocks using the Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents (GEOROC) database. The precompiled files of the GEOROC database provide the chemical composition of volcanic rock samples, from which we computed major and minor rocks for global Holocene volcanoes reported in GVP. The combined dataset associates each volcano with the relative abundance of each volcanic sample type (whole rock, glass, melt inclusion) and provides the five major (more than 10% abundance) and minor rock names. In total, over 138,000 GEOROC volcanic rock samples were considered, for ~1000 Holocene volcanoes. The resulting major rock compositions are in general consistent with those given in GVP. The dataset provides a global panorama of rock composition for Holocene volcanoes.
