I know. I lose count of documentaries ruined by ‘bad’ voice selection for narration. Some I stop watching purely because of that if they are especially grating.

Thanks for posting. I love the information and the narrator's voice. I wasn't aware that an igneous province existed in Michigan until a few years ago. It isn't mentioned that often in videos or books so I'm impressed that the video includes this.
The Midcontinent Rift System is actually pretty large, reaching from possibly Kansas, northeast to Michigan's Upper Peninsula where it turns southeast, then proceeds through the Lower Peninsula and continues in sections as far south as Alabama. Fun Fact: Lake Superior lies within part of the old Rift. This Rift System is the deepest healed rift ever found. Had it gone much deeper, an ocean would likely have formed. And for our Canadian friends: an arm of this old rift (a so-called "failed arm") runs north into Canada as the Nipigon Embayment and contains Lake Nipigon (like most large Rift systems, the Midcontinent System developed with a triple junction and one of the arms failed).
I swear this guy narrated the educational science videos we were forced to watch in elementary school in the early 1980s.
Its a nice narrating voice though

The BBC did a rather good docudrama about yellowstone supervolcano. It's about 2 hours long and fairly interesting to watch - It's a what if scenario of course...
*Laughs in CZcams Red*
Most 10 minute videos have 5 ads, this one only had 4 for me. A pleasant surprise for sure.
Love this kind of content!! Addicted

I love this vedio I'm so happy to watch
Impressionante! Sooo Powerful,sooo distructive... but șoooo Beautiful!The big Power of element FEUER!I prefere that this SuperVolcano never erupte.It's too dangereus! Thank You for impressionant video😀😘
no ads ❤️
Sometimes I miss the days when youtube videos only had one add, at the very beginning of a video, and the majority of them could be skipped. Now you're obligated to watch four or more adds in a video or pay extra for no adds. It's shady business practices like this that makes me wish Yellowstone would erupt right now.
Google "CZcams Vanced" if you are on mobile it is an app made by independent developers that is pretty much identical to the CZcams app except it treats you as a premium member which means no ads. Been using it for a few months now and I haven't seen an ad since.
Add block for you tube. I see 0 adds on any video.Try it
just get adblocker my guy
Which is why I don't watch on youtube, I just download with VTD downloader and watch them later on with my media software. It is a pain to be interested in something and then they come on right in the middle with an add and though I could affort it, I absolutely refuse to pay them to watch without adds.
get a good adblocker
We should be thinking of space shelters for long term use, if we want to plan for these events.
It’s a good day when spacerip uploads!
For those who don’t have an earthquake alert app or keep track of them, there have been a mind blowing 78 earthquakes over a 5 in the last 7 days! More then I have ever seen in all the years of getting these alerts, that many big eqs in such a short time is just crazy. And 10 of them were over a 6 and of course the one over 7 and all but 2 of them have been in the area of Toba ! That is indeed a bit concerning.

I'm not sure they did... this is a 4K reupload of an old video
amazing channel. keep up these great educational uploads!
One of the best channels in youtube, in my opinion.
such a great video! thank you so much!!!
An outstanding documentary. It finally made sense of the Russian & Indian lava eruptions in their timescale and where the continents were at at that period of time. Would it would have gone into more detail of the "population bottleneck" and just how close humanity came to being gone.
There's another vid on population bottlenecks, hit me up I'lll find it for you.
Extremely interesting and terrifying at the same time.. let’s fear the One who made it all

Other notable super volcanoes are Toba, Taupo, and Aira Caldera.
Theres other smaller "super volcanoes" like campi Flegrei, for example.

@Yih Dzelonh lol you're radiating some serious "beta" male energy. Might want to get that checked out bruh
just amazing ! what is to be will be !
Both the Deccan and Siberian traps aren't super volcanoes, they're flood basalts. They are more destructive, but they are a different type of eruption that may be caused by mantle plumes. This means that they can occur in places where ordinary volcanoes can't. There is an eruption that is caused by a mantle plume, and that is creating the Hawaiian chain of islands.
The problem is that "Super volcano" isn't a technical term and was coined by the media. Also, within scientific circles there is no 100% agreed version of what is required for a "Supervolcano".
When we refer to "Supervolcano" we are referring to Large Igneous Provinces (LIP). Different experts have different ideas on whether 1000km cubed or 200km cubed should determine a "Supervolcano".
The traditional term is 1000km cubed of Tephra. Dependant on who you go to Tephra can include Lava or just Pyroclasts. So with no strict agreed term you could argue
Flood Basalts are LIP...or not.
VEI 8 events require 1000km3 Tephra..or not.
Tephra can also include Lava...or not
With no term agreed on by the Scientific community you could argue Flood Basalts and "Super eruptions"
Side note: Mantle Plumes can and do provide enough viscous material for a "Super Eruption" - Yellowstone being the classic example
@@matwatson7947 "supervolcanoes" are asociated to explossive magmas, and flood basalts with effusive magmas. But actually almost all flood basalts in earth's history started with explossive supereruptions like Siberian Traps, Deccan Traps and Paraná & Etendeka Traps (this last LIP gennerated probabbly the earth's bigges't explossive supereruptions on earth, triggering over 9700 cubic kilometers of ignimbrite). Also scientist discovered that almost all supervolcanoes born ancient hotspots wich caused flood basalts
I recognize that wikipedia isn't exactly a conclusive, primary source, but:
"A flood basalt or plateau basalt is the result of a giant volcanic eruption or series of eruptions that covers large stretches of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava.... Flood basalt provinces such as the Deccan Traps of India are often called traps," (from wikipedia)
also, "Large igneous provinces" is literally the second subsection of the wikipedia page on supervolcanoes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supervolcano#Large_igneous_provinces
...where are you getting your denial/what is your source material that excludes them as supervolcanoes? I'm not trying to be confrontational, but in my lay opinion it seems your attempting to correct minutiae, imprecisely...it really is peculiar; but maybe I'm talking out of my ass

That was the only purpose of such an hyperbolic "prediction." All of those things are carefully monitored. There will be decades or probably centuries if they're going to do anything except just sit there. The scientists (real ones, not youtube dilettantes) are extra careful to know the signs and the data since the Mammoth Lakes fiasco a few decades ago.

Another Lucas and Rodstein classic! MORE SpaceRip! More!
It's subduction zones, not mid ocean rifts that drive the movement of tectonic plates. Nice to finally see more from this channel though!
You have a point in that mid ocean rifts are typically Divergence zones while Subduction zones are Convergent. IMO a bigger reality is that we barely understand YET the earth's Geology in real detail. I wouldn't get too hung up on our insufficient list of categories and definitions---Truly we're NOT there yet. There's a lot more we don't know than we actually think we do know.
@@paulb47NYC It is true we don't know exactly what drives plate tectonics or what even started them in the first place but just looking at the data, it seems to me at least, that oceanic plates with the oldest, densest seafloor show the fastest movement, generally speaking. I'm sure mantle convection has something to do with it too.
No, the subduction zones are NOT responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates, the rifts are. The subduction zones are simply where the plate is re-entering the Earth's mantle... but the subduction zone isn't pushing itself, it's being pushed by the mid-ocean rifts where the lava is coming back up to the ground surface at the bottom of the sea.
I bet you’re fun at parties.
Great. I guess if Yellowstone goes I won't have much time to know about it!
Great Job but I want more!!!!
Just going to sit back watch the count down when the time comes eating popcorn this winter :3
Lol I love popcorn!!!
I would be far more worried about Lake Taupo in New Zealand! It has, historically, erupted once every 30,000 years or so. It is a huge volcanic crater, about 30 miles long and 20 miles wide. Last time it went off, the land for 100 miles around was buried 20 feet deep and signs of the eruption have been found on the other side of the world, due to its effect on the climate. Interestingly, it last erupted about 35,000 years ago! Guess what folks, it is well overdue!
and how bad was the effect on the climate exactly?
@@tornadomash00 who knows! No records from back then, but a lot of Swamp Kauri (very ancient trees preserved in New Zealand swamps) show much reduced growth over a period of several years, coinciding with the time of the eruption
@@Purlee100 do you have a link to this info i wanna read it
@@tornadomash00 No sorry, I lived in the area for several years and know its history, but if you google either, Taupo Volcano or Oruanui Eruption it will give you a lot of information
That was only 30000 years ago go back much father
As mentioned elsewhere, this must be why Isaac Arthur states it'd be safer to live in a hollowed-out world with an artificial black hole in its center for gravity and energy!
your smoking some good shit dude
This is the one thing that has always worried me more than anything in nature.. Yellowstone.
Same, especially because I'm not sure what would happen in my location, about 700 km north. Not instant death, but not "in the clear" either, though none of the world would be clear after that
You're more likely to die of a heart attack while worrying.
I FORGOT monkaW
@@michaelcook3168 Unless you go on Dr. Caldwell's diet. Then you're heart attack proof.
I’m only 5 hours from Yellowstone. Let er rip!
Love the video the information on it is awesome a lot of things I didn’t know but whenever one of these super volcanoes decide to go off I hope I’m not alive
No active volcanoes in Australia. But just across the sea in the country where Australians love to go for their holidays Indonesia is one of the most volcanically active countries. You can see the difference in the soil. Theirs is so deep and rich. Most of ours, except for river floodplains, is thin and poor.
There's many things I don't fear, but the eruption of a super volcano is one thing that scares the hell out of me. That's not something I want to be around for. It's not a matter of if, but when.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The supposed "schedule" is pretty much illusory. The last three eruptions were roughly 600,000 years apart. But the one before that was a lot longer.
By the time Yellowstone gets around to blowing, humanity may have already become extinct from something else.
@@baruchben-david4196 that is quite true. an asteroid impact is much more likely to happen.
There won't be any life after 2060 so live it up!
@@karaquick395 2060? well, at least it's a nice round number. :)
Sleeping Backbone I feel/see that happening after Yellowstone blows. The Cascadia Subduction Fault will slip. It triggers the Ring of Fire & Yellowstone to go. No food starts wars between countries . 2047 few people exist then by 2060 a asteroid hits and life is GONE.

I wish they had provided info on some of the other explosive (non traps) 'monsters' like La Garita, Wah Wah Springs, Jabal Kura etc
Long Valley caldera also.
@@michaelchristensen9004 that thing is just as destructive as Yellowstone
Aren't La Garita and Wah wah springs the remnants of explosive eruptions?
@@jocelynndotson7273 It's VEI is lower.
@@user-yb7ik6sb1v Yes, they were. Well at least some of them were. Since both of those are 'theoretically' connected by the same channel, a lot of debate has occurred on what actually happened during the biggest of those eruptions. We can measure the ash buildup, hence measuring it's explosivity, but they are from similar plumes, geologically speaking.....we 'think'.
no mention of Mt Taupo in New Zealand.
like i said i would like to see that 2 but i guess that were 2 small 2 be noticed again :(
Same thing here. Most People don't care or give a Damn, About Black Mountain here, And others of our Volcanoes. They really need to take Responsibility!! We here are the True Volcano state. Yet, They are too Stupid Even to look at a map! They say "Oh you have to have a Pass port to go there! It's not in the USA"! like really? Beyond stupid. And to lie about Our Volcanoes. Thousands of them. Super too. They take No Responsibility! If they can't they shouldn't be allowed to post anything. In anyway. They are putting lives in Danger!!
Taupo should of been mentioned it is no small super volcano.
It was one of earth's biggest and most violent eruptions the earth has ever seen .
The best thing is it's still active and 2000 years overdue for an eruption .
In the first 8 mins of erupting it sent 700,000 cubic meters of material in to the sky she defently ain't no small volcano.
This program shows how REAL our situation is by merely existing on this planet. Yes life IS worth living.
Is it though? I mean, once you consider that 99.9% of all of Earth's animals and plants have gone extinct it doesn't sound like it's all that worth saving. Faced with those statistics, it seems like a pretty useless exercise in futility to even attempt it.
@Jerry C - The show is talking about material, not just ash and lava. About half of the material ejected was ash and lava, the other half was pulverized rock, when you add it all together 2.79 cubic kilometers of "material" was produced in the eruption. When a supervolcano goes, same thing happens. Not counting everything it ejected from the middle of the caldera, the last time Yellowstone erupted, it blew away more than 60 miles of mountain range... gone, vaporized in an instant.
Lake Taupo, N.Z.
The Largest known Supervolcano in the last 70k yrs,
A surface area of 238sq miles.
black pearl but it’s not Yellowstone so it doesn’t count
@@merlinyeti more to the point, its not america, so it doesnt matter lol
It defently is black pearl and it is still active one day she will blow
Finally someone has mentioned Taupo!! If that fella blows we're stuffed. And that's New Zealand alone.
Love the narrator's voice
would have like to see the Taupo super volcano in here
Great now I can't sleep 😟
It's a spectacular video . In my opinion I love this video
Watching from Kenya
The last VE-8 eruption was Toba approx 75,000 years ago. Why dwell on Yellowstone while we have two much larger zones in the US and also New Zealand and Italy?
@Jerry C Yes, and also people always say tambora is big and stuff plus it was mentioned in a supervolcano video on yt yet its biggest known eruption in 1816 was only VEI 7
Yay where all going to die bevis and butthead would say cool
Why only 75000 years ago
@Jerry C - The two that worry me the most are Wah Wah Springs and La Garita. Wah Wah blew 30 million years ago and is the largest known explosion in the world since the KT Asteroid hit 66 million years ago, wiping out all the dinosaurs... it ejected 5,500 cubic kilometers of material. La Garita last went off 28 million years ago and, while it ejected a little less than Wah Wah (5,000 cu/km of material), it still managed to create the largest caldera in the world. Most map sites have them both currently listed in the wrong location though. As the American Plate has moved steadily west southwest, the hot spots have remained stationary. Meaning that Wah Wah should now be somewhere under Casper, Wyoming... and La Garita should now be lying somewhere near Des Moines, Iowa.
Should La Garita go off again, it will bury nearly all of the US and parts of Canada. The ash-fall would bury everything Eastward past Pittsburgh, North to the top of Lake Manitoba, South to the Gulf of Mexico and West to Salt Lake City; and it would bury all of that area to an average of 3 to 4 feet, completely destroying the breadbasket of America. And this is only the "best case scenario". We know it will go at least that far since that's close to what Yellowstone did, except it was two feet on average and only about 1,000 miles. In reality, it's likely that it would be far, far worse, burying literally all of the United States except for the extreme Western States. The country would be a barren wasteland for hundreds upon hundreds of years, and we couldn't do a damned thing about it. I mean, it took a full *YEAR* to dig out the 48 acres of debris from the World Trade Center... *imagine trying to dig out the 102,000,000 acres that comprise Kansas or Nebraska.*
(I hate open ended math problems so... it would take 2.1 million years if it went at the same pace as the WTC cleanup)
Fintan Galway actually the last super eruption occurred around 25,000 years ago in New Zealand
I wonder how Spacerip makes money? These films are very well produced and probably not cheap to make. I don't see ads on their videos and not sure if they have a patreon.
Government education grant maybe?
I honestly love to donate to support them, because as you say production quality is very high and obviously not cheap and would love for them to keep this going for as long as posible.
Lots of the shows I seen on here were also on a channel when I used to watch TV (probably around 6-8 years ago)

@@bottomlands - God already knows their stupid, no need to point it out to Him.
And all these eruptions made our evolution possible.
top quality, thanks!
Its not a video about anthropological global warming but a video about natural processes that have shaped our planets past climate. The stats from the one Krakatoa eruption effectively wiped out the global temperature rise of the last 100years in a single year. And collapsed the global climate, causing devastation in crops and loss of a whole summer. How will our carbon taxation fix a year without enough sunlight? It wont matter because most people will not survive, humanity may continue if we are lucky, but the planet will equalize with or without us here.
You do realize that carbon tax isn't going to anything environmental. People that are happy about it are just gullible
Ty.. earth will fix itself
Agreed. AGW is a "god created the universe just for mankind" Religious Dogma. It has nothing to do with reality and only serves as a distraction from the issues we SHOULD be focusing on---like Plastic Pollution of the Oceans, Destruction of virtually all eco-systems which support non human large animals, pollution of every continent with Agri-Corp's antibiotics and synthetic fertilizer---and this list is endless. People would far rather wring their hands in despair about AGW and then sit on those hands and do NOTHING.
Oh indeed the Climate, she is a changing. She's been doing it for 4.5 billion years. Not about to go into stasis because human beings have made an entrance. Not about to weight the impact of the next climate change to ensure it's a benefit to our specific survival either. Cope with it folks. Loose the God-based superstitions and start dealing with reality. We're not at that level of control here.
Will the eruption of one of the super volcanos, cause a chain reaction of the others or the ring of fire?
Possibly.

some interesting facts about lava:
1. Lava is extremely hot: It can reach temperatures of 1,200 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (650 to 1,200 degrees Celsius).
2. There are different types of lava: The two main types are 'A'a and Pahoehoe. A'a lava is thick and clumpy, while Pahoehoe lava is more fluid and smooth.
3. Lava can flow very fast: The speed of lava can vary depending on the type and viscosity of the magma. Some lava flows can move at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
4. Lava can create new land: When lava flows into the ocean, it can solidify and create new land.
5. The color of lava can indicate its temperature: Lava that appears red is hotter than lava that appears orange or yellow.
6. Lava can create different formations: When lava cools, it can create different formations such as lava tubes, lava domes, and lava lakes.
7. Lava can be dangerous: Lava can cause fires, destroy buildings, and create toxic gas when it comes into contact with vegetation, water, or other materials.
8. Lava can contain different elements: Lava can contain various elements including silica, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.
9. Lava has been used in art and design: Lava has been used in jewelry, sculpture, and architecture for thousands of years.
10. Lava has been studied for scientific research: Lava can provide valuable information about the earth's geologic history and help scientists understand the formation of volcanic landforms.
some interesting facts about volcanoes:
1. Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's surface that allow molten rock, ash, and gas to escape from the Earth's interior.
2. There are around 1,500 active volcanoes in the world, with many more that are dormant or extinct.
3. The largest volcano in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars. It is three times taller than Mount Everest and as wide as the entire state of Arizona.
4. Volcanoes can erupt in different ways: Some volcanoes erupt explosively, while others have more fluid lava flows. Some can also produce pyroclastic flows, lahars, and other dangerous phenomena.
5. The Ring of Fire is a region around the Pacific Ocean where many of the world's active volcanoes are located.
6. The word "volcano" comes from the Roman god of fire, Vulcan.
7. Volcanoes can have different shapes: Some have a steep cone shape, while others have a broad shield shape.
8. Volcanoes can impact the climate: Large volcanic eruptions can release huge amounts of ash and gas into the atmosphere, which can block sunlight and cause global cooling.
9. The world's largest eruption in recorded history occurred in 1815 at Mount Tambora in Indonesia, which produced massive amounts of ash and had a global impact on climate.
10. Some volcanoes have become popular tourist attractions: Many people visit volcanoes to see their unique landscapes and to witness their eruptions from a safe distance. However, it's important to remember that volcanoes can be dangerous and unpredictable.
@@catslife123Good work. I learned a lot from these
Mount St Helene's is some fifty miles from the Pacific Ocean. Its eruption period is about a hundred twenty five years between eruptions. It takes this long for a new steam chamber to be developed inside of the mound. The containment chamber is made from the same material that produces the finest and densest concrete. As water is turned into steam near the magma spicule some of it goes around the chamber into the surrounding mass and is released back at various heights on the mound as mountain streams. A chamber develops walls of various thicknesses and a lot of the magma from the spicule is converted into the material that makes up the chamber walls and the dust which is commingled with the stem in the chamber..
You love your steam chambers dont you?
Mikey old boy its just a theory to convert the heat from a volcanic mound into something useful. Do you have any viable ideas;
Maybe it happened so often in the ancient past because the Earth crust was way thinner then?
this is so cool
Thx a lot
OHHH that's so very dangerous
i like how the volcanic ash blocks the sun but completely ignores florida we still get cooked in the sun here 11:05
❤ very very nice video
When the volcano errupted in the usa in alaska 1980s, we lived in oklahoma. Woke up that morning and we had ash on our car. It was falling like snow.
“They changed the history of our planet” wow that is impressive, time traveling volcanoes.
They should rename Yellowstone Mount Doom, like in The Lord of the rings.
no its not a stratovolcano ts a caldera
No cone it's a valley of sorts
Nah- not quite the same ring to it, besides yellowstone is a caldera not a mountain
Thanks
I appreciate the use of Stravinsky in this
❤️SpaceRip❤️
I'm sure it's been said before, but I'll say it again: it's Krakatau, not Krakatoa. It's not "smoke" it's ash. Volcanoes don't produce dirt or soot. Dirt is soil, and soot comes from burning organic matter.
Dirt can cover a volcano like Yellowstone and volcanos burn organic matter.
Wrong on every count, so I wouldn't say it again, unless you like revealing you ignorance to the world...
@@philsurtees So if a lava flow enters a forrested area, what is produced by the burning??? Oh yes! Smoke!
Admittedly, a by product, but a product of an eruption none the less!
Uh, no... this is so wrong it hurts. It's Krakatoa or Krakatau, depending on how you want to spell and pronounce it (neither is wrong). Volcanoes do produce soot along with the ash - chief among the organic chemicals they produce are methane, organic sulfur, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, oxygen, hydrogen fluoride, sulfur hexafluoride and carbonyl sulfide. And, while they don't produce dirt per se, supervolcanoes blow the dirt covering it sky high and geologist count it as material being ejected by the volcano.
Stop trying to show the world how "smart" you are... because it's not working.
Krakatoa is the English version of krakatau 😊
this is so awesome and cool 😎
Awesome and cool basically mean the same thing.
Oooh look mother earth is vaping again and rattling the cage " humanity wake up as a whole and take serious more notice " . Great video documentary, thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning .
No, we're fine. Nothing is going to happen within our lifetimes and geologists agree that the signs of an impending eruption could take a millennium to develop into an eruption. Super volcanoes don't go off suddenly, the calderas below them are massive and they take a really long time to fill up. Flood basalts are very thick low energy lava, they creep along when they start getting closer to erupting, so the geological consensus is that we will have plenty of warning before anything gets really dangerous. Enough time to literally move the entire population out of the country if need be. It won't take us by surprise, so everyone can relax.
SpaceRip is the best!
I'm thinking a nuclear war would be worse. At least with a volcano you can inhabit the land after everything settles down. With a nuclear war. Ah not so much.
True, but it would take time. Volcanic ash is sterile and plants can't grow in it. So whether you have solidified lava or ash, it takes a while for plant and animal life to come back after an eruption. Plus, people moved back to Hiroshima and Nagasaki after they were attacked, so...hard to say which is more damaging.
When hear his voice I think it's Saruman speaking about volcanoes
finally a new video narrated by Dick Rodstein.
Great program,but I don't understand the Yellowstone simulation since our winds travel West to east, not the reverse, which means the cloud should predominantly travel east ; covering the Midwest & Eastern US.
Valcanos make their own weather wind
Robin McNeill That they do, as I’ve lived through the explosion of one, but they cannot change the jet stream. And that travels west to east without fail. I can’t imagine what it would take to change that - something so catastrophic that it threw the earth off its axis, maybe...
The Jet stream is usually somewhere between 20,000 to 50,000ft in elevation. In the Troposphere.
Weather systems stop at the tropopause.
Mt St Helens plume reached 101,000 ft
Pinatubo reached 147,000 ft
That is the stratosphere.
So the plume above the tropopause isn't affected by weather patterns or the jet stream.
There's more than one weather system based on altitude. A super eruption like Yellowstone reaches the fringes of space.
That might be true but the gases and ash will go above the jet stream. It goes beyond the stratosphere. Hince why they form their own winds and destruction. Is Yellowstone goes, the ash cloud would circle the world within 2 weeks. Blocks out the sun and heat from it. Causes what is caused a volcanic winter lasting 80 years in the least. Volcanic ash also different than ash from your backyard bbq. Its evasive and dangerous. Breathe in too much it basically become liquid cement in your lungs and you die of suffocation. Or worse you get Marie's disease and and is a terrible way for anyone to die, slow and tortuous. It also sterilizes everything it touches for the first 10 years, so nothing grows. It poisons the water supply, so you cant drink the water. It destroys the engines of planes and vehicles. Mix it with water, it collapses roofs and destroys building. Not to mention the pyroclastic flows*shivers*. In other words, you cant escape it once it goes. Yellowstone wont be a US natural disaster, it will be a GLOBAL disaster. Drought, no food, bad water. No crops, no animals, no substance. Think Mount St. Helen's in 1980 then times that eruption by x20... yh not good
*Giant Earth pimples!!!* 🗻🌋
So we need that cute Asian female doctor that has the show on popping pimples to save the planet!
Very enjoyable!
How about Campi Flegrei in Italy? Underground linked to Mt Vesuvius. Another possible ‘supervolcano’ rarely mentioned.
Some day some where we will know the real reasons Volcanos exist and we can all work in Unity to harnest its Energy from its 'Hot Spots for the benenit of All Humanity - Free Energy for All - and so it is - Blessed It Be.
@@HiveMind-qv1iy or geothermal.
Well, you've heard and occasionally got annoyed by a "laugh" track, get ready for the "boom" track, same one for EVERY volcano, asteroid impact, firecracker...
I liked the video otherwise...
Probably because it's public domain, like the Wilhelm Scream.
Fascinating and scary
It looks cool
Spacerip documentaries are awesome but I wish they were just a little bit longer
Depends on the subject, I guess. There's one about Mars and it's almost an hour long.
I'll take the volcano over the nukes.
Same. If a supervolcano were to kill us all it was just meant to be. Nothing we could do to stop it. With nuclear war it means some psychopaths were dumb enough to play the game of hitting the red button. Completely preventable. A war with nukes means something went horribly wrong with us fundamentally as a civilization.
@@justinbiggs1005 Well Justin, I'm sorry to break this to you, but we have one of the worst psychopaths on earth, holed up in the White House now and he's been horribly wrong since the day he took office and he cares nothing for civilization, only himself!
@@justinbiggs1005 Allow me to introduce 2020.
@@davidhohlen310 I think YOU are a psychopath and your brain is broken. Trump is one of the best presidents this country has ever had, but you are too deaf, dumb and blind to see it.
Same here, the earth will recover faster from it, they say Chernobyl won't be habitable for 20000 years
Nice video.
I love it
i like how the image of 200 million years ago was portraited.
as if we have witnessed it.
humans are all knowing these days.
Judging from OOPART's (Out of Place Artefacts) humanity is at the very least 300 million years old...
Aren't you glad your pimples aren't like earth volcanos?
I hope Toba watching this video :)
Geologists are actually rethinking the whole Toba event and are saying they grossly underestimated its power. The new thinking is it realeased as much as 13000 cubic Km
Yellow Yosemite Wyoming
Krakatoa: I was the loud one
Tambora: I was the smoking one
Yellowstone: I was the ashy one
Toba: I was the large one
Tamu Massif: amateurs
U missed the Ilopango errution around 500ad, new findings make it the second-largest volcanic eruption in the last 200,000 years
@@quietstorm8916 I knew nothing about it
Taupo: I was the forgotten one
Terijoy Wilton Siberian Traps: I was the worst one
Which one was Thera?
And this is why doomsday people are attracted to supervolcanoes like moths to a flame. However, while we cannot be certain, scientists are fairly sure the chances of one going off in the foreseeable future are slim.
Very likely, the eruption of the Deccan and traps was actually as a direct result of the Chicxulub impact, as that hotspot is currently located near the antipode of the impact, meaning that the eruption maybe directly or indirectly linked to the impact.
