    I like how this video isn’t related to nuclear physics yet you’re still able to draw from your background to give insightful commentary, good stuff 👍

    interestingly . super volcanoes erupt relatively cool lava called "Ryolite" that doesn't glow much and has very High Viscosity that just makes it explode into small scale pyroclastic flows instead of flowing like chunky honey . . .
    so instead of an cool orange display you have a towering pile of debris that barely moves and can suddenly break open

    Thing about tzar bomb was, they wanted to make it even bigger and could have made it even bigger but scientists behind the idea came to a conclusion that it would be a stupid fucking idea to do that.

    I'm Indonesian and I love how Kurzgesagt always listening the volcanologist about the detail of supervolcanoes in Indonesia like Lake Toba and Mount Tambora from how the eruption happened and how it affecting the world

    I was waiting for this one. You gotta cover _all_ of the apocalypse scenarios.

    Attempting to make something more powerful than what could be naturally done is either a recipe for failure or the end of everything as we know it

    i live next to the eroded core of a dead supervolcano :)

    Maybe each country could also try storing food?

    A SuperVolcano Is A Volcano That Has Had An Eruption With A Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8,The Largest Recorded Value On The Index. This Means The Volume Of Deposits For Such An Eruption Is Greater Than 1,000 Cubic Kilometers(240 Cubic Miles).
    Supervolcanos Occur When Magma In The Mantle Rises To The Crust But Is Unable To Break Through It. Pressure Builds In A Large Growing Magma Pool Until The Crust Is Enable To Contain The Pressure And Ruptures. This Can Occur At Hotspots(For Example,Yellowstone Caldera) Or At Subduction Zones(For Example,Toba).
    Large-Volume Supervolcanic Eruptions Are Also Often Associated With Large Igneous Provinces,Which Can Cover Huge Areas With Lava And Volcanic Ash.These Can Cause Long-Lasting Climate Change(Such As The Triggering Of A Small Ice Age)And Threaten Species With Extinction.The Oruanui Eruption Of New Zealand’s Taupō Volcano(About 26,500 Years Ago)Was The World’s Most Recent VEI-8 Eruption.
    Volcanic Eruptions Are Classified Using The Volcanic Explosivity Index,Or VEI. It Is A Logarithmic Scale,Which Means That An Increase Of One In VEI Number Is Equivalent To A Tenfold Increase In Volume Of Erupted Material.VEI 7 Or VEI 8 Eruptions Are So Powerful That They Often From Circular Caldera’s Rather Than Cones Because The Downward Withdrawal Of Magma Causes The Overlying Rock Mass To Collapse Into The Empty Magma Chamber Beneath It.

    Bro you can work on thumbnail and you can make your facecame small and videos which you watch make big ❤

      If that change does happen, I fear that the issues of the old reaction channels where the videos are basically just piracy would be harder to avoid
