Canada is About to Have a Volcanic Eruption
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- After thousands of earthquakes occurred in a single day, it appears that one of Canada's volcanoes is about to produce a new eruption. Luckily, this will occur far away from any people more than 200 kilometers offshore of Vancouver Island. There, what is known as the Endeavour Segment is likely to erupt in the next few days to weeks, potentially spilling volumes of lava onto the ocean floor.

Canada has already apologized for all the disturbance the earthquakes have caused.
Not that they are responsible for them.....
Sorry
Ope! My bad buddy! Didn’t see you there and I just got to quaking, eh?
That made me laugh out loud.
SORRY!!!
When I first saw the title of this video, I thought that one of Canada’s land volcanoes like Edziza or Meager was waking up. But this was fascinating too.
Or Garabaldi or Siltherthorn. Either of those 2 would likely have a massive effect on where I live as I'm in the Vancouver area, and those are among the closest to me, along with Mt Baker south of the border.
3:25 The volcanic activity being just off the coast of Canada, British Columbia... yet they still felt the need to list the UnitedStates before Canada during the risk assessment 😂💀 Y’all wild.
I never noticed that the U.S. was even mentioned.. I lived through a shaker. Just noticed it stirred the tea in the cup.
Any chance we can re-direct it to Ottawa
Specifically on Trudeaus head?
@user-oz7dx4jj2e 🤣🤣🤣Good one!!
😂
Lmao
Why not to your backyard
Thanks as always! Looking at Google Earth, there are so many seamounts and submarine volcanoes...
Right! And that's just an approximation, they're quickly finding so much more detail as the tech gets better
If you look at the ridges you can also see faults that run perpendicular to them
If you could look at the mid-atlantic ridge the recent activity there is it's on top of a fall that runs to the East Coast which is having minor activity as well
Juan the Fuca. Oh yeah, he's a Fucca alright.
Fucc
Juan *of* Fuca.
Juan De Fuca
Mid ocean ridges normally: 🥱😴🥱😴
Mid ocean ridges when you least expect: 🔥💥🔥🗣️🗣️🚗🚗💨💨
The Gorda Ridge off of northern California had a earthquake swarm on 28/29 Feb. The largest was a 4.9. This is also a ridge between the Pacific and Juan de Fuca plates. Thoughts on an eruption here?
Hmm no idea but the Gouda ridge is interesting as it is young and somewhat disconnected from the Juan de Fuca Plate. Now more specifically the Gouda ridge is as of now part of an interesting offset notch within the deep slow sheer velocity discontinuity that extends quite deep into the planet beneath the East Pacific Rise which continues underneath North America in much the same way the oceanic sections beneath the ridge line do suggesting they are all part of the same deep mantle structure.
In this case then the northeastern most advance of this mantle ridge like upwelling structure corresponds with the Yellowstone hotspot, which is supported by igneous petrology of the YHS track and Siletzia reveal was a former ridge aligned hotspot analogous to modern Iceland. Anyways the point here is this zone basically fits the basin and Range and Colorado Plateau regions like a glove with the sole exceptions being the complicated Northeast Southwest trending zig zag of transform offset ridge like upwelling sections between the Gouda ridge component and the Snake river plain section and the roughly parallel analogous path between the Rio Grande Rift and the Gulf of California.
I can't help but wonder if these parts as well as the Gouda ridge are a consequence of North America dragging the ridge boundary via the subducted slabs because I recently learned there is an interesting lineament perpendicularly cross cutting the Cascadia subduction zone where there is a component the range where volcanism extends both closer and further from the main trench than elsewhere in the cascade subduction zone but also compositionally has source magmas which have the signatures of isotopic enrichment from deep mantle sources known as Ocean Island Basaltic a signature shared with the Yellow Stone Hot Spot chain and the Snake river plain of which this lineament through Cascadia is parallel to with the cold slab beneath this zone also showing evidence of corresponding thinning. This lineament zone in the cascades only started to appear 5 million years ago making it a geological blink of an eye so I can't help but wonder if this is the East Pacific Rise on geological timescales reasserting the underlying structure of the original EPR configuration before North America dragged a section to the southwest as the old path has been getting pulled further away from the mantle source feeding it. If this is the case we might expect the Gouda ridge to be slowing down in spreading rate on geologic timescales possibly enabling the severed section of the Cascadia subduction zone along with the Sierras the Basin and Range and or the Colorado plateau to become isolated to the west of the EPR boundary associated with a continuation of the ring of fire subduction line now within the western half of the Pacific. Of course if the Gouda ridge doesn't die out or the lineament never filly splits things then this will not happen but it seems like an interesting scenario to consider.
As a Canadian, I’m sorry that I didn’t know about that eruption.
4.9 isn't anything lol.
I always appreciate your thorough presentations!
Thank you for this video. Informative and interesting as always!
It's false information. Plate Tectonics is misapprehension. Of course, those who came up with theory could not see beyond the Earth's surface, from ground level. It's now considered to be unfortunate nonsense regurgitated ad nauseum by these dime-a-dozen "science" channels.
Very similar to Grindyvik but under sea.
The zipper rift zone.
Oh!
Canada, you have nothin to apologise for guys.
All da best from da UK 🇬🇧
🙏🙏🙏🪬🪬🪬💎💎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥃🥃🥃
Thank you so much for your continued reports on all of the volcanoes around our planet, I have learned a great deal from them
This is why I subscribed, straight to the point
Thank you, your reading now is much better, every word is clear to understand 🙏
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
Here come's the earthquake tax.
Always nice to see a mention of my own backyard on your channel. Thanks!
Well, perhaps not in this case.
Thank you for the explanation
Thanks for the information
Proximity to Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Cascadian Subduction Zone a factor in one's concern(s)?
Yes. Lots of earthquakes
This seems like one of the many flair ups that happen a few times a year irregularly. As a Vancouver islander we don’t usually even feel most of em.
Oh wow. I live in BC and haven't heard this. Thanks!
Sweet- a little understood phenomenon = great work THANKS
Esquimalt: Esk-why-malt
Juan de Fuca: w-on-dee-fyooka
more like..... Wanda Fooka but that might just be my own personal interpretation.
How did Esquimalt come into play here?
@@D-B-Cooper I didn't notice it in this video but in another of his videos he mispronounces Esquimalt.
@@JuandeFucaU it was in there at the beginning, said it so weird that it took a few seconds to think of what he said.
@@JuandeFucaU usually pronounced like "deh" but yeah
In other news, Justin Trudeau announces new Volcano Tax .
LMFAO 🤣
You joke but honestly I have no doubt he's trying to figure out how to, at the very least, tax BC people for this.
Maybe he should inspect it first.
Don't give him any ideas. That's all we need.😂
😂🤣😂LOL
Thank you for the video.
Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.💞🌟🕊🌺
I used to lived on Vancouver Island. We had a few small earthquakes around 5.2. There is a large quake line going thru BC and California
I have warned friends in Vancouver for years about this. They thought I was delusional…How could they not at the least have an idea it could possibly happen at some point.
Thanks for the update.
Not exactly a huge threat to Vancouver.
This eruption if and when it does occur shouldn’t harm anyone. Besides, the exact same thing happened in 2005 and Vancouver is still standing.
Vancouver should be ok, but Forks is forked.
@@GeologyHub Yet there is lots of evidence for devastating tsunamis in the Northwest. And it is possible that movement in one part of that small plate would be an early warning indicator of movement somewhere else of that plate, eg a Cascades quake, which would be an order of magnitude, maybe even two, worse than the biggest California quakes.
And closing your eyes to that risk is stupid. His friends should at least be aware that this risk exists and that a big one is overdue, actually. And the longer it takes before it happens the stronger it will be.
@@hanrockabrand95 Bamfield is gonna feel a bam in their field.
Will the separation of the ridge induce sudden additional subduction on the other side of Juan de Fucca's plate? Possible eartquake in Vancouver area?
Thanks for your report,please keep up this work as I live next to coastal waters EH
Can't wait for The Geology Hub movie! :D
Wait we have volcanos?!
You have plenty of them! 24 just from the Holocene alone!
Yes and you can even visit a few of them! Although most are highly remote. For something closer visit the Wells Gray Clearwater volcanic field. Produced 4 eruptions in the last 10,000 years including one eruption around 1650. Or the Tseax cone which erupted around 1700.
Where have you been? Under a rock? Lol
If you google volcanoes in Canada, you'll find lots of good stuff.
One cool thing about the volcanoes in BC is that groups of them are due to different geological processes. Most Canadian volcanoes have been polite and well behaved since they became Canadian, but the present danger from them is landslides and lahars from poorly consolidated material and steep slopes, especially as permafrost melts with global warming. Some housing and resorts are being developed in some pretty risky locations.
@@shawnsanborn2057 Bad question to ask on a geology page! I’ve been under a rock, in rocks, over rocks, on rocks, beside rocks, I’ve even tasted rocks! In a rock is my favorite style. Good records down there 😊
Hello from well inland from the rift. Subscribed. 🌋🌋🌋
Is this likely to put further pressure on the subduction zone?
It should not have any significant impact.
@@EatsLikeADuck I have learned that modern seismology acknowledges that YES, earthquakes influence or even trigger more earthquakes further along the rift.
Like a quake in the Hindukush, then one in Iran, then Turkey or Greece.
And in this case: An earthquake out to sea, then one close to the coast and finally a big one in the cascades.
@@donaldduck830 yay
@@donaldduck830
I have a true story for you. I live in Victoria British Columbia and go camping all over the province. I was at a beautiful park called Kentucky Alleyne in Southern BC near Merritt, a few years ago & chatted with Ed the then park manager about the geology of the area.
I kept finding pretty chunks of unusually green lava on my hikes but there are no visible volcanoes nearby. Also, the lakes beaches are not sandy but a very soft, silky whitish ash! My dog would drink the mineral filled lake water in the morning and be energized all day! 😂
One of the small lakes in the area is called Crater lake.
Anyway, Ed told me a story about a couple who were once canoeing on Kentucky lake when the waters suddenly started bubbling over a huge areavfrom the middle of the lake outwards, rocking the canoe & scaring the couple half to death. They hurried to the shore and they, and other people just watched the phenomenon. There was no tremor or anything else, just the bubbling lake. There was no smell.
A day earlier, October 28, 2012, there was a 7.1 earthquake,
1200 kilometers away in Haida Gwaii on the BC North Coast.
The lake bubbling eventually stopped. But over the next few weeks, the water level level dropped by about 2 feet and never "refilled". Ed showed me the "line" of the past shore line.
I find this fascinating.
I mean this whole province is on the Ring of Fire & geologically connected. There is a chain of volcanoes along the western part of the continent as you know Mounts Shasta, St. Helen's, Rainier, Baker, Garibaldi, Cayley, Meager, Nazco, Edziza etc.
We await a massive subduction earthquake that is already late out here.
I love this province.😊
I hope you found this interesting, take care!
👋🇨🇦🌠
Wow fascinating... THIS is why I subcribe to this channel. (I live in WA, and I wonder if this will impact my area (tsunamis? ecological impact?).
Cheers!
There has been evidence of volcanic activity off the coast of Washington/ Oregon states within the past few years. People have witnessed pumice floating on the ocean surface- and there have been a couple videos. It has been disturbing that the USGS has remained silent while this has happened.
@@kathybradbury
Interesting... I recall someone mentioning pumice to me a few years ago when I was on the NW coast of the Olympic Peninsula (where I camp/surf) but have never seen it myself. Mostly the concern is Vancouver Island's dumping of untreated sewage. (Yuck.)
I wonder what effects such activity may have on currents/upwelling/ecological events? (Or if this is too far out or minor to effect such?)
Cheers!
The West coast is on the ring of fire and there is always some sort of something moving and moaning in most the our area!
@@BCJerbs oh yeah...we're waiting for 'the big one' (*knocks on wood), or Mt Ranier to go up like St Helens, etc.
@@BCJerbs ‘tis true…but I’d expect the USGS to alert us to active undersea volcanos off our coast!
Have you tried coordinating your findings with that of Dutchsinse?
Don't worry. They'll figure out a way to tax us to make up for any environmental damage it causes.
At least they use your tax dollars for something positive. We’re down here driving on crumbling roads with no health care, while subsidizing giant corporations.
@@Jmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjm1 Mostly health insurance compagnies
An earthquake tax? 😮
@Jmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjm we don't have free health care here either, we are we are $175k in dept because Canada doesn't recognize my wife's chonic lyme disease as a disease. If we lived in the states we could at least get health insurance.
@@85CEKRI mean absolutely no disrespect to you or your wife. I can only imagine how tough it must have been, and continues to be, for you both. But Canada DOES technically recognize lyme disease but there are criteria that have to be met. Through CPP Lyme disease does qualify but you had to have been working 4 out of the past 6 years and been paying payroll taxes. You also have to prove that your disability is prolonged and severe enough to prevent you from working. Not sure if these apply in your situation. If it’s through group insurance coverage provided by an employer for example, obviously eligibility will vary greatly. I’m sorry that you and your wife are going through this and I hope that you can get some sort of compensation and your wife can make a recovery. All the best from Nova Scotia
If this is spreading crust is that crust part of the Pacific or Juan de Fuca Plates?
Could this eruption trigger the Cascadia subduction zone, to go off?
I don’t think so.
How does this affect the larger movement of the Juan de Fuka plate, and the expected mega-thrust earthquake that will pummel the west coast of Vancouver Island, Washington, Oregon, and Northern California?
Why is this part of Canada? It’s far outside of the 12 mile limit for country boundaries in the ocean.
lack of other things to call it I guess
Any chance of redirecting it to Ottawa or Montreal? If not, Victoria will do.
is 240 km from shore really still in Canada, though?
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they count ocean ridges as well.
In international waters but within the exclusive economic zone, I think.
It’s probably the nearest land mass that isn’t some tiny tiny unnamed island
Part of the economic exclusion zone of 200 nmi. Well, not exactly "coast line"
😉
@@jantjarks7946 no coast extends past a continental shelf
Interesting! I was a little worried at first when it was mentioned it's near Vancouver Island, that's where I live! Glad it's not going to actually be dangerous, though.
Famous last words 😂
In many cases, a volcanic eruption was preceded by earthquakes. The best known example was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. This famous eruption was preceded by earthquakes, including a major earthquake in AD 62, which leveled the Roman towns.
i live really close to where this is happening and every once and awhile signs of seismic activity pop up. its been on the local news as of the past week and its pretty cool to see a big channel covering something so close to my hometown.
Would this cause havoc for WA state? Olympic area/Seattle?
listen at 3:25
agent Smith is in the house
I hiked Garibaldi mountain. Nice hike and lake.
I have had shaking back in 1997 - 3.4 in the Pacific. My cabin sits on a slope - that night my bed twirled from 12 to three oclock in the room - next morning downstairs was a floor crack in the library and laundry rooms. Recently in the last two weeks I have felt bumps in the house again. So who knows eh?
I like the information but its hard to focus on it when I'm so put off by the apparent ASMR style of narration. Was that an intentional choice?
I 100% agree. I can't finish this videos. Sounds cringe 😬
Tsunami threats are very high during these events
The water near an eruption, does it become toxic?
Vancouver Island #2! Excellent, maybe it’ll actually be affordable..
Starring Liam Neeson I hope
Thanks Kip Dynamite.
OMFG! First thing I thought of. Too funny. 🤣😂
@@Maitland-76 "Do you remember the address song?"
240 kilometers =
149.129 miles
What is the “EEZ”?
An “exclusive economic zone,” or “EEZ” is an area of the ocean, generally extending 200 nautical miles (230 miles) beyond a nation's territorial sea.
What is the purpose of EEZ?
Under international law, within its defined EEZ, a coastal nation has: Sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring, exploiting, conserving, and managing natural resources of the seabed, subsoil, and waters above it.
Geology. So much better for my sense of safety than Geo-Politics.
240 km’s out is past Canada’s Exclusive Economic Zone so you can’t say that volcanic activity is actually in Canada
Do you think this will cause more stress to the Cascadia subduction zone?
I'm guessing the eruption will be linear such as the ones we've seen recently in Iceland.
Has the ocean floor risen with the incursion of magma? How many feet? How quick?
I think some underwater ridges are not from pushing up stuff but that the subduction forces tear the ocean floors apart.
Give a volcano an inch and they will take a mile, so to speak?
About to have an eruption....as in this day?
This week? This month? This year? This decade?
That would be interesting
Good stuff. Your narration cracks me up, is that your actual speaking voice?
It is his natural reading voice. He is autistic, and explains in a recent livestream on Iceland how this affects his voice.
And this is why we call that area (I think) the "Ring of Fire"
Damn it, you've discovered my master plan...
Don’t tell the PM, he’ll figure out a way to tax us over it…
Suspicious Observers showed the earthquake swarms several times. But was always baffled why there were earthquakes out there. A newly forming volcano is indeed a good explanation, ty.
If Suspicious Observers is baffled, it's due to a lack of understanding of what happens around plate boundaries.
@@b.a.erlebacher1139 Actually he understands very well. But there were earthquakes without any further data, 1 or 2 years back. If we now see earthquake swarms that are connected to magma movement, that would explain the earthquakes that seemed unmotivated.
If you want to listen to somebody who understands a lot and can teach very well, Ben of Suspicious Observers is an excellent choice.
Which is attested by the fact that he mentioned these quakes more than a year ago.
Yes, Suspicious Observers is a BRILLIANT site.
I watch his 3min daily update every morning.

If it forms an island... I call dibbs.
I thought it was part of the cascade range
It is, Canada contains the northernmost of what is considered the cascade range. However there hasn’t been an eruption there in some time.
Cascade range kinda stops at Vancouver (the real one in Canada)..... then the Coastal range goes north.
To be clear this volcano is not part of that system, different tectonic setting. Cascades stop at silverthrone Caldera to my knowledge which is above garibaldi
is this how Polynesia was created? could you do an episode on mid-ocean generated volcanic chains?
No those islands are largely a product of volcanic hot spot chains within the vast Pacific plate which is formed from the East Pacific Rise. Now if you mean the crust that forms the pacific ocean through which those hot spots erupt then yes that crust is formed via activity here along the vast East Pacific Rise system of which the Juan de Fuca is the northern portion not having been overridden by the North American Continent.
i think it went off like i heard a low pitch sound outside my house..
I wonder if the volcano will be inclusive enough for our diverse population...all about that equity
Hi geologyhub I would like to see a video about mt apo in the Philippines I love your videos
So that's why I'm getting "you may get earthquake alerts on your phone" adds now sponsored by the government.
But if we didn't feel the last big one will we even feel this one?
Oh great, you had to put "about" in the title.
This will be the first time in recoded history that end with the volcano apologizing profusely.
Well...chili and prune juice will tend to do that...
Suffering of insomnia? Listen to this man and you'll fall asleep fast
Is there a way to watch this eruption? Any submarines recording this?
240 K from BC is international waters.
Often wondered if the volcanic extrusions along the Mid-Atlantic ridge are enough of a heat bloom to influence the creation of Hurricanes?
So see, the ocean ridge is basically French fries. And the lava is kinda like the cheese curds. But the cheese curds won't go all that far, because there's all that "gravy" on top of it. The ocean.
Basically, this volcanic eruption is kinda like a massive poutine.
Cool
Just an idea, you mught start the zoom in on the locations you mention from further out for those who arent as good at geography, i probably would have started the zoom in from showing the entire pacific northwest at least up to the alaskan archipelago to give people more context clues. It should make your channel more approachable
Funny, everyone usually forgets about Canada....
A good suggestion
Apparently the Axial Seamount is also waking up.
Isn't he looking to be the new singer for Guns & Roses?
This is a part of the ring of fire and is also in the same area as plates on the edge of causing a tsunami. I am not surprised by an eruption here as it has been an ongoing concern. Luckily I live 5 hours away from the mainland coast so not concerned.
Hey guys, Canadian here. We’re sorry that our volcanoes are being facken hosers. If you’re affected or affected by this, you are entitled to a free Teem Hoorton coffee. Again, we are entirely sorry.
Oh yes! Finally!
Please make more videos about Brazil
wounder what the LosVagas odds are, on this actually happen
Would the Eclipse that will happen April 8 provoke the eruption?
Very good question!
At this point, a volcanic eruption may save our country.
U got that part right, eh!
Not canada, out in the middle of the ocean.☹️
Juan De Fuca Plate. Now that’s a hilarious name.
The kids might just be alright after all❤❤🤘🤘
"Not to scale" lol
