This Week in Volcanoes; Mount Pinatubo Erupts, A Future Eruption Near Reykjavik
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Right now, there are 53 volcanoes actively erupting on the planet. This week, Mount Pinatubo unexpectedly erupted, sending a plume of material 14,300 meters or 44,000 feet into the atmosphere. Meanwhile in Iceland, uplift has been ongoing around the Geldingadalir volcano, suggesting that more similarly sized eruptions are likely in the future. On the island of Iwo Jima in Japan, a series of small phreatic eruptions occurred. Finally, in Indonesia, a new submarine vent emerged at the Iliwerung volcano. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.

You might be wondering I did not include the eruption of Semeru or the ongoing glacial flood from Grimsvotn. Simply put, the eruption of Semeru was cut for time (and was covered yesterday in an entire update video) while I did not want to cover Grimsvotn two weeks in a row. Speaking of Grimsvotn, its overlying glacier has now sunk by 47 meters, and the peak intensity of the glacial flood (expected to be ~2,300 m^3/second) is ongoing.
Correction
Its at 71-73 meters of drop rn
well its at 74.06 and the tremor charts calming down so maybe it wont go this time? I dont think there have been any earthquakes under there larger than a 1. somethiing so maybe Askja? Going to ck the earthquake charts for Iceland to see if theres been more EQ activity during the night. They ahve 2 live cams at Grimsvotn but all you can see is snow. I think it's supposed to be showing the flood but all it shows is white.
Our Icelandic volcano enthusiasts will be frowning and saying, " did he just call our Reykjanes, Rek - jains"?
Just a heads up, it's pronounced Rake - yan - ehs. And Grimsvotn has a history of erupting after meltwater drainage.
@@skateboardingjesus4006 Reyk-ja-nes. At least split the syllables correctly.
Is there potential loss of life with Grimsvotn flood?
Knowing the history of Iwo Jima makes me wonder what, if any artifacts were exposed. Very sobering thought. A lot of lives ended on that little strip of land.
That is entirely possible considering how the Japanese tunneled in the island.
A couple of ships purposely sunk, that's about it.
I was thinking the same thing.
@@fishingthelist4017 If the info was still correct, about 200 Americans and over 12,000 Japanese are still considered MIA from that battle. Not to mention all the dud ordinance. Quality control vs speed of manufacturing meant a lot of shells never went off.
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 there could still be unfired ordinance buried there in caves and tunnels.
Excellent volcanology summary. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Sad news from Semeru. They didn't heed your advice and evacuate. Those that ran from the eruption will miss those that didn't. 🌹🌋
First one to say thanks Geology Hub …!
Fantastic post, thanks for the updates!
Dear GeologyHub. Love the vids! Would love to see if volcanic activity and earthquakes are on the rise. Like a general trends report. It’s hard to research this stuff on your own when you don’t know where to look or technical details. Keep it up 👍
Since 1800 volcanic eruptions are most definitely not on the rise. We just have active monitoring of areas now which are uninhabited or extremely remote (such as Mount Erebus in Antarctica).
Theoretically speaking, falling sea levels and melting of glacial ice sheets can trigger volcanic eruptions but I have yet to see a long term trend that goes beyond the margin of error. Well, except for the period around the younger dryas. Volcanic eruptions definitely increased around that time
@@GeologyHub Interesting. Could the cooling during the Younger Dryas be an effect of that increase in volcanic activity?
@@GeologyHub that is exactly what we were debating! Thanks for the response 🤓
I never miss a video of yours, you rate #1 in this area!
Love the information, thank you.
Great video summary of the week's activity. Cheers.
Thank you for the reminder at the beginning of the video that there are always many volcanoes erupting on Earth at any given time and always have been.
And that is perfectly normal and does not foreshadow the end of the world.
@@brucekuehn4031 Exactly!
This summation has become the highlight of my week.
Awesome job Sr.!!!
Great recap!🌋🌋🌋
Thanks for your time explaining what is going on with world geology.
I just got through with your QA upload and I was impressed.
Great job on the new thumbnail!
I know I mentioned this in another video, but could you do a video on the Gardner Pinnacles? Very interesting topic, as this island (or what's left) is part of what is now considered the world's largest shield volcano (Tamu Massif is thought to be a mix of a shield volcano and a mid-ocean ridge)
Thanks for the updates and awesome content!
I am always surprised by people and developers who build near active volcanoes. Taal volcano here in the Philippines is a good example in the Batangas area south of Manila. Pinatubo is a giant that could cause much damage again one day as well as several others here.
Love your videos. Great info and well researched. Keep it up!
Thank you for explaining!!
1:36
Taal Volcano In Philippines on July 1, 2021 causing an eruption called "Phreatomagmatic" eruption. It means that the eruption is mixed with magma and water.
Wondering, if the magma chamber at La Palma, is so large, when, or if it finally empties... wouldn't that possibly cause a mass collapse?
That's a good question, logically I'd think yes?
Theoretically yes, but its inferred size is quite small at the present. Will not cause a collapse. Maybe a few cm subsidence though.
Thank you!💖
I find it strange that RUclips just gave me a notification of this video 22 hours after it was posted. Good thing I found it last night on my own. RUclips needs to work on their notification system. 😒
merci pour votre présentation, c'est très intéressant mais trop rapide (pour moi) pour enregistrer et comprendre toutes les informations. 19/20 quand même😊
Dear Geology hub, what seems to be going on with so much volcanic activity, to me this doesn't seem normal to me, might be wrong. I am really sorry for the people who have to put up with this, is it due to climate problems, take care everyone out there, many thanks Geo Hub
Fantastic vid……thirty years I was in Tanna,Vanuatu…….would it be possible to do a doc on Mt Yasur……….no worries if can’t…..love all of you’re brilliant and informative vids
I plan to cover Yasur in the future :). Just trying to find copyright free footage of it first
Thanks
A video on Iwo Jima would be interesting.
Done
At some point, if you have not done so already, could you speak about the geology on the Snake River plain in Idaho? Thanks
Thank you. Please consider doing a video about the recent impact finds close to Douglas Wyoming
i was 11 yrs old when mt pinatubo erupted 30 yrs ago,i remember a few earthquakes leading too the eruption its very devostating event and i hope it will not happen again
I think a video on mount Hudson in Chile would be real interesting since you never hear anyone talk about it really
I agree. Hudson with its big caldera(s) is on my todo list.
Iwo Jima?
God bless those soldiers who gave their lives for the noble cause!
Apparently mount semaru as been active for some time and is watch constantly due to high chance of pyroclastic flows and subsequent lahars which its flanks are covered in but the volcanologist still get a shock from time to time with a surprise or two from these monsters with absolutely no warning?
Nice video and thank you
Could you elaborate more on mauna loa since it seems to have been on raised alert for several months?
Nothing much to say
Just it acting up a bit
Today’s my birthday. 🥳🎊🎉🎂
New weekly series? Nice.👍
You need a little into music… like an ol’ school nightly news vibe. One dramatic note on a xylophone and typewriters in the background.
Geology hub question I hope you can answer. In Pennsylvania which I know hasn't been active in hundreds of millions of years. There are a few places at the bottom of cliff faces near Easter central state. In the Appalachians that have large hexagonal blocks that stick out of the bottom of where landslide or erosion have removed much of the surface material. Most I've seen was like 40 of them sticking out of the bottom of a several hundred foot hill near a trail head. Could these be remnants of some extremely old eruptions hundreds of millions of years ago that have been totally covered and mostly eroded by extreme time
When I first started watching the channel, the number of volcanoes erupting at once was alarming. I'm calmer about it now, but just to be sure...is there cause for alarm?
No cause for alarm. It’s pretty average at the moment.
Just remember, the weather isn't weirder nor is the world any wilder, it's just that we've never had so many cameras so close at hand to catch these things 😉😼
Edit: well, maybe the weather (shrugs)
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 fair point, though Oregonians found last summer's heat domes and this fall's atmospheric rivers extremely weird. 😉
Yes, volcanic eruptions peak during Grand Solar Minima and Maxima.
What volcanio is the footage at the start of the video from?
Would you mind doing a video about the raised alert status for the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii?
I have been keeping an eye for Mauna Loa for a while. It is quite confusing. Right as the computer models were all in alignments with my own predictions (suggesting an eruption in the next 7-8 months) the magma seemingly drained away (perhaps to Loihi?). Its a complex system. Thus, do not expect an eruption for now.
@@GeologyHub yeah somethings going on at Mauna Loa
An eruption in the future within the next 2-5 years is likely
I love your work!! Would you be able to talk about the Des Plaines impact crater in northeastern Illinois?
Potentially. :)
It's a good thing that Pinatubo didn't erupt explosively or else it would of spread ash at it's surroundings
Please make a video about Mount Kelud in Indonesia
As of Monday, there's some interesting data on earthquakes and height changes with Semeru. If you do an update, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. 👍
Any chance we can get a video on Aogashima Island in Japan?
he man thanks again for your great content. Very helping whitout b.s. very apriciated, We can ask for subject. Im wander whit so much vulcano's going of all around thw world for so long now. Are we heading to a year whitout summer? And can al this ash (combined or not whit the sahara sand) give breathing problems for humans etc, around the world.
1:39 this is so interesting: All you need (for a volcano explosion) is groundwater and an underground magma chamber!!! Please share! I wonder if there is groundwater around the volcano on La Palma?
Выражаю сочувствие!
The pic on 1:47 is the Sea Lion Caves in Oregon, one of the largest sea caves in the world but definitely not an active volcano.
That graphic was meant to show a stage of how a phreatic eruption works. A cave photo seemed suitable to explain groundwater.
Getting better. BTW
53 simultaniously. That is the average for a year. I'd say its alarming with that many at the same time.
"Here's a quick list of every volcano which is currently erupting". Yeah I'd say. Even slowed down to 0.25 its over in 2 seconds. Would have been nice if you could let the list stay much longer for us to actually have time to read it. But other than that its a great video. :)
53 is still normal and most that are considered erupting aren't producing active ash clouds or lava at times such as Kilauea
Hey buddy could you please talk about the Reykjavik’s magma intrusion? Thank you in advanced.
Bruh are you serious? 3 weeks before the eruption and after I watched the documentary of Mt. Pinatubo eruption, I went to the top of our house here in Taguig. I look where the direction of Mt. pinatubo from where I live her in the Philippines and I thought that what if Mt. pinatubo erupts and what will the eruption cloud will look like if it did. 3 weeks later boom mt pinatubo erupts.
Your videos are so awesome and I have to say, so informative. I have a favorite volcano , Popocatépetl, but I’m loving learning about all the other fascinating volcanos on earth.
I’m especially interested in the extinct volcano fields in south eastern California and the field near the Salten Sea.
Salton buttes is actually considered a high threat active volcano...
2:57 bismark sea. Is this not a old crater in total?
Indonesia 🇮🇩 Volcano 🌋 Mt Semeru Erupted Violently that huge Pyroclastic Ash huge flows down the North face of the Volcano Mountain.
while apo laki biggest caldera in the world sleep if awake whole world while good bye
Wonder what's the longest active flowing volcano.
Yasur is currently the record holder for the longest volcanic eruption recorded having been erupting nonstop since the 1700s
How are they all connected under ground?
What do you mean? All the Volcanoes in the world? They are not connected. Go study a bit of volcano geology because then you'll begin to understand the explanation why they are not connected. Then you would know how to ask the right question.
I remember mount Pinatubo eruption the images of ghost emerging from the clouds of mist which is in fact pulverized rock and can devastate the pulmonary systems of all animals the eruption was so large that global temperature's dropped globally by 0.5 oc couldn't imagine a super volcano going stratospheric . Anarchy would prevail before we would all be snuffed out and that will be that.it nearly happened before a few millennia ago cause a bottle neck in the gene pool which mean's only a small % less than 1% is thought to have survived it set humanity back for many many years. Otherwise we by now would already be extinct with the alternative plan of self destruction sobbering thought?
That supervolcano eruption you refer to was Mt Toba 72,000 years ago. If a super volcano were to erupt today there probably be a year to several years build up.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 what is connect?😂
@@yunnayun9367 Sorry, I don't understand your question.
Guess I missed this one. 53 and growing. Personally I think there's something going on with our planet...why so many volcanos Erupting.
Volcano-rama Going on.
Question,why don’t they drain the lake in the caldera? No water No steam explosion Eh?
What's the point? This Phreatic eruption would not be a threat to anyone. Plus there are numerous complications to draining the lake. For one thing the lake is highly acidic because of the gases continually released by the volcanic. So any piping used to drain the lake would be damaged by the acidic waters.
Next, because of the risk of such an eruption -which doesn't threaten anyone- why put someone at risk to go set up a drainage system??
And of course the lake would begin to refill every time it rains and because it is a tropical climate it rains a lot there.
Next time you think a simplistic idea would resolve a perceived problem think again!!
It was prudent La Palma evacuated 7000 people from areas of lava flow, and dangerous air quality. I continue to have concerns for remaining animals and citizens..Many of whom were advised to stay indoors in accordance with poor air quality.The La Palma airport briefly shut down due to air toxicity, and the unstable ocean floor near the island is being monitored. Scientists have advised tourists to visit the island, but common sense and intuition scream:
"Danger Will Robinson"
When volcanic liquid, lava, erupts from the earth and flows down into the drastically colder ocean seawater, it creates a chemical reaction that produces an explosion of steam, sending bright white toxic plume clouds into the air.
These white plumes are Laze, or ‘lava haze’, and they contain a mixture of condensed seawater steam, hydrochloric acid gas, and tiny shards of volcanic glass. These extremely acidic plumes can be blown downwind, and as such, their toxic effects can reach far beyond their originating points.
And la palma
bruh indonesia have 2 eruption in just 2 days
even the last video on it is no longer relevant information
Thats normal
Indonesia has at least 5-7 if not more simmering and puffing away at the same time

Translations are expensive
RUclips removed the volunteer translation service where fans added rather accurate translations. I wish that they kept that feature; was very helpful
Is this information unusual?
Shared ... and as Nibiru draws closer, more will be erupting, with possible a super volcano :(
That's not even a conspiracy theory that deserves a moment's thought because it is so laughably stupid!!
and the bottom used as a king of stand
I am boycotting tuna.
Semeru...14 lost so far.
Just imagine what these are doing to our ecosystem. La Palma alone has been estimated to be emitting 1/60th of the worlds YEARLY CO2 alone. And there are four other active volcanos now. Mother nature can be cruel and unpredictable.
Different isotope

I take it back. I said 50 volcanos would bring us global cooling Now I say 60 surly will.
