Last night we played a game of trivia and they had a question that was “which country has the most volcanoes?” I told my friends I was thankful I watched your channel cause I wouldn’t have known that otherwise! So thank you for all your work & keep it up
@@Vesuviusisking Ahhh.... Of course! I've been to Indonesia and seen so many volcanoes with my own eyes. Even climbed one! I should have known the answer LOL Thanks :)
Just because they form from hotspot, doesn't mean the hotspot and island formation will behave in the same way, why is it weird for you that volcano came in different shapes and sizes, plus behavior too
0:40 I mean I would say it has a more Reventador or Vesuvius shape due to St Helens not having a prominent reconstructed cone in the horseshoe but a lava dome
You should do a video about Sisi Butte in Oregon. I found it on Google Earth, and it looks like a long time ago it had a major flank collapse, leaving a caldera with a resurgent cone, but I can find no historical information on this location
The first layers of the volcano laid down above the sea level have been pressed down by the newer layers above it. Any idea how far down below sea level it is now? One candidate for being Atlantis has terrestrial rock half a mile down now! Some say it's sea level that rose but pressing the crust into the mantle is a better explanation.
Man, you'd figure people would stop building structures on volcanoes by now, but apparently not. "But we love the scenery tho'!" Well, I hope you like he scenery during a volcanic eruption, too.
Keep in mind that the only reason the Cape Verde islands are inhabited is colonialism, and that the Africans currently populating them are descendants of slaves who were brought there. As the islands are not incredibly fertile--even verdant islands like Santo Antão and Brava feature only pockets of land suitable for significant, community-sustaining agriculture--Cape Verdeans, as a matter of survival, need to make use of what fertile land they do have, even if it's in the shadow of a volcano. (Having small settlements covered by slow-moving, non-life-threatening lava every 30 years or so is a trade-off they can live with, with the emphasis there being on the word "live .") They don't care about the scenery--such vistas are pretty quotidian for people who grow up in such a locale. Like you, they care about surviving, but unlike you, they don't have the resources nor geographical good fortune so many people simply take for granted.
I am from Fogo, a very remote island. The soil near the volcano is the most fertile, so many families survive on it. Please educate yourself before making insensitive comments, as many families have lost their homes.
No, it's actually smart. That's where the fertile land is. It's worth noting that these islands are an extension of the Sahara/sahel zone in West Africa, and that any fertile land needs in CV to be exploited. There's a reason the colonizing, seafaring Portuguese ultimately decided Cape Verde wasn't for them--unlike what happened in, say, Madeira or the Açores, islands/archipelagos into which they fully invested--and just basically left the dusty, rocky Cape Verde to the slaves they had transported to these once-uninhabited islands. The current-day CV'ns are doing pretty well, and they'll tell you themselves that dealing with an eruption every 30 years or so--none of which are life-threatening, btw--is a small price to pay for centuries of survival.

The crater itself was used to grow grapes for the wine industry. There was a small town inside the crater too amazingly, but itnwasnburiednin the recent eruption. Thanks for covering this one, beem curioisnfkr a long time. The new cone looks incredibly precarious too so I imagine another landslide is only a matter of time.
Thanks for the re-upload.
Context, he had to get rid of most of his older videos due to the pictures having to be blurred
I love how this mountain looks, very striking
Thanks as always! Pico do Fogo is a very well-fpr,ed volcano! Its somma structure is eerily similar to that of Mount Vesuvius and Avachinsky!
I would say more like Stromboli then Vesuvius
Thanks for all of your hard work man!

So what's the answer? I would guess the United States.

@@stonew1927 no worries
This is very interesting! Thanks so much, GH
Hello there can you make a video about the taal volcano and it's geologic history pls?
Question if the islands are from a Hotspot why are they in a horseshoe shape instead of a straight line like the Hawaiian islands?
Either it is because of the plate's motion or it is because of the types of paths available for the magma to use.

Because they not the Hawaiian islands 😂
Because of the movement of the African plate. It hasn’t been moving linearly.
Could you do or have you done a video on the Greenstone Lava Flow?

What would cause a shield volcano to transition towards a strombolian one?
Can you please do Masaya Volcano?
Can you do a video on the Hotspot of hawaii/emperor islands and a possible impact crater that might have made the Hotspot on the anti pole?
A comment for the algorithm
Isn't this the volcano already the phoenicians reported when they sailed along the african coast?
The "e" in Cape Verde is silent/not pronounced.

It’s because the land is so fertile and people make a living while some are the wealthiest on the island because of it.

Fogo in Portuguese is fire in English, guess way the volcano is name so.....
I'm surprised that there are towns inside that collapse scar. Not very smart.

please please use a real voice
This is a real voice. get out a bit
Iv been all over the world thanks@@xwiick
you clearly never meet someone with a speech impediment then, get out more. @@skinnyhol
my grandad had one as do I. Im sorry but I can not understand you
the voice is real, deal with it simple as that @@skinnyhol

It was rebuild people live there again. It’s actually the most popular place to visit in the island Fogo
