Alaska's Strange & Out of Place Volcano; Mount Prindle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- Within Alaska is a 500-foot-tall volcano which strangely stands alone in an area where no volcanic eruptions of any kind have occurred for 20 million years. Known as Mount Prindle, this isolated cinder cone is seemingly out of place, not being either part of the Aleutian volcanic arc or the Wrangell volcanic belt. So, why does this extinct cinder cone exist? This video will answer this question which involves a vast slowly rifting region of the North American tectonic plate.

Given the shape and contours of this volcano, I would like to start a petition to rename it the "pringle" volcano.
🤣😂🤣😂
We’ll have to crunch on that…unless you’re just being salty…?
@@genuinetuffguy1854 Another chip off the block.
Once it pops, we hope it will stop
And Yo’Tube would be the appropriate place to start Pringle Volcano petition.
I dread to think what Volcano flavour* Pringles actually taste like. Sulphur*?
*Yes, I’m a Brit. No apologies for the correct spelling. 😈
I can't count how many times I have said WOW to the information presented on this channel. Thank you for passing along your knowledge of the world we live on.
One of those weird "WTF is a volcano even doing here?" volcanoes.
Tum Tum Mountain is my personal favorite cinder cone
I just love thinking about out of place volcanoes and dinosaurs roaming Alaska. This channel is so fun. ✨👌🥰
Well, there are two hills named after Prindle in Alaska, and it looks like the volcano is generally not referred to as Mount Prindle to avoid confusion with the much better known (and accessible) Mount Prindle off Steese Hwy NE of Fairbanks.
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
Thank you for this very interesting past activity. Living in Alaska had no idea there would have been volcanic activity in that region Please do another one on Mt. Hayes , the little known by most northernmost volcano in the Aleutian arc. Thanks again.
Thanks again for more of your geological explanation and the historical information that you provided. Greg in Southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😊😅.
Thanks as always! It is nice to see you cover the Northern Cordillera volcanic province. I wonder how long the rifting will last, and what possible geographic consequences are.
Apologies for mentioning this another time, but the Northern Cordillera Province might be home to one of the volcanoes that caused the infamous 535-536 volcanic winter.
Would be cool to see a small picture or sketch as to WHY this rifting occurs near subduction zones and why it is typically on the opposite side of the volcanic mountain ranges created by the subduction.
There are quite a few people that don’t know why this occurs and why periods of heightened volcanic activity in these regions could point towards higher stress loads/NA plate bending more downward at the plate boundary.
To be fair that is an active area of research which doesn't currently have a scientific consensus on how and what drives the processes observed in these kind of tectonic systems.
Also note that the context of rifting here is different as it involves the increased rate of seafloor spreading of the East Pacific Rise system and this is the transition region between two different subduction zones the Cascadia subduction zone where the Juan de Fuca plate a young remnant of the eastern counterpart to the Pacific plate the old Farallon plate and the Aleutian subduction zone where the Pacific plate itself is subducting. These are different sides of the East Pacific Rise the currently fastest spreading ridge system which is accelerating in geological terms at the expense of other ocean ridges for reasons which aren't particularly clear or understood. In some ways the seismic tomography shows the EPR is underlaid by a deep ocean
Additionally the clockwise rotation here comes from the net difference in motion between the fixed EPR + Yellowstone hotspot system which appears to be rooted deeply into the planet and the North American plate. Of these two North America is a relatively thin buoyant mass of crust (a silicate iceberg in the basaltic mantle) while the EPR based on seismic tomography extends down to at least the entire upper mantle if not deeper and thus is effectively a large scale feature of the Planet as a whole. Of these two forces the continent is probably going to lose since it is smaller in scope.
This rotating is interesting. It reminds us that what seems like parallel motions are convergent, divergent, or rotational when overlaid on the surface of a spheroid.
That was very interesting. Thank you.
Why don't we relax, put on the radio? Would you like AMMM or FMMM
moseby lmao
Beat me to it 😂
Very interesting and informative 👍 ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
I use to live in tok alaska not far form this very volcano.
We also found obsidian glass on 40 mile Bute. Not far from there
Even the name is outta place lol
Prindle: once you pop, eventually you stop
Underrated comment
Speaking of the NCVP, could you possibly reupload the videos on Tseax Cone, Hoodoo Mountain and Volcano Mountain?
I didnt knew theres a mountain named after an automatic transmission
Ilike seeing you on video you are a very handsome man, and very learned in your craft,would like to meet you someday but I'm 71 and have an old car and I don't fly. Good day.
"It stands for Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Low!! 😊"
The PRNDL volcano
Would you like AM? Or FM?
ibu volcano just had its alert level raised from 3 to 4 (highest) with >1500 volcanic eq everyday
Look at Mt Spurr just outside Anchorage. I can tell you exactly what it is and what empties into Cooke Inlet. I have videos on it (my name is SPURR) it is literally a body part...a RECTUM...not kidding.....and is avian or reptile as it is part of the cloaca. And I was called a Rectum a lot...maybe not that word but you know haha.
On my Mudfossil University Channel "If Earth was Alive once What Could Possibly Create Volcanoes according to Mudfossil Geologists".
Very similar to the Potemkin crater in Siberia
does this mean Alaska (and Canada) are slowly being pulled apart by the rift (another million years)? and possibly more volcanoes developing in Alaska as it separates (a few thousand years from now, I guess)
They just return although the fact remain a set of quake larger than life interrupted 'em again . Whoa .. dude... Coffee anyone?
Mount Prindle - the birthplace of the Auto-gear car.
Looks like the gold path
It's a hill.
How did Dinosaurs live in an average temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit? Doesn’t seem likely.
You are looking at it from the wrong perspective the emerging picture for one dinosaurs is that they were mesothermic to endothermic animals that rose to prominence over their pseudosuchian relatives which had dominated during the Triassic thanks to the climatic swings from the explosive eruptions of the CAMP(Central Atlantic Magmatic Province) opening up the Atlantic ocean around 201 Ma. Dinosaurs were never cold blooded animals they were warm blooded from the beginning with primitive feathers having evolved as a form of insulation which at least predated the split between pterosaurs and dinosaurs both of which bone growth and coprolites indicate were ancestrally endothermic animals. In fact from the fossil record dinosaurs started at the high latitudes of Pangaea and were only able to infiltrate lower latitudes after the extinction wiped out their cold blooded cousins.
From the fossils we now know dinosaurs not only lived in cold climates but overwintered there too.
GH: time to retire the adjective ‘whopping’
bro not one video on italy??? vesubius and moun fligrei? i dont want to lookup other geo channels but why are u ignoring those volcanoes?
There's only so many times you can describe the land rising at Campi Flegre. Eventually, it's gotta step up its game and do more!
Vesuvius shows up in weekly summaries, and even Stromboli has been shown.
@@icollectstories5702 oh shit my bad i forgot about the weekly summaries tyvm, apologies
With earths magnetic reversal ongoing , it makes sence for new volcanic areas form & land mass will rise from the depths .
On a massive spinning ball with subduction zones , has more water than land .
Should the Earths mantel an connetected tectonic plates stop spinning , water & water vapor ( air ) will continue of the speed of Earths rotation .
please. get another narrator - the topic is epic, the research is too - so should be the narrator's speaking
What do you mean, get another narrator? GeologyHub is Tim and vice versa - he is a one-man band and doesn't have an organisation with dedicated narrators behind him. If you really can't stand his voice, mute it and follow the transcript (which he does check for accuracy btw).
@@davidcranstone9044 it's not the voice. it's the use of the voice. can be fixed with training. some companys have trainings for people that have to talk in front of an audience for example. that's what I mean. and it's feedback. no harm intended.
