Only significant vertical collapse, NOT depth, would matter. No likely caldera collapse is likely, so no tsunami resulting from plungerlike disruption of water column.

@p3rc1muz19u3 it's pretty close to the Washington/Oregon state line and way off shore. Sure it's technically in Oregon but I wouldn't want my state to hog the glory
Thanks for the update. I'm not worried about it but I'm interested in the Tectonic plates and how the puzzle pieces fit together and move. Getting an idea of how the earth changes over long periods of time and creates land masses like island's or mountains is interesting!
This timing is perfect. Nick Zentner was just teaching about how siletzia, spreading ridges, and the yellowstone hotspot made landfall on north america about 51-42Ma. I feel like axial is a great modern analog of what happened back then!
I went to the paper and Figure 5 would have been fun to see in this video, to explain how this area was constructed. Still a great video on Axial Seamount.
To make a noticeable tsunami, it would need to be shallow and/or big. In 1996, Loihi, off the coast of the Island of Hawaii, had a collapse -- one of the summit craters dropped by 300 meters -- but there was no obvious change in sea levels.
Thats pretty much what I came to post. Are the cameras stationary? Will we be able to watch and record their actions from now till it eruptes.. You know like with the Eagle cams...
Mr. Catron! Thank you for your geology expertise. Since you are covering the American Pacific region in this video, I think you should cover the horrible destructive fires in the Hollywood Hills. I know that common fires are not part of geology purview, but what will happen when the season of heavy rains hits LA? Then the mother of all mudslides will result on those charred hills; that is a geological process.
Well, technically that's not in the State of Oregon - It's not even in the USA - that's in international waters if it's that far away from the US coast.
For those asking if this seamount is really in Oregon, or even the US, the answer is actually no. The sea mount is far outside the 12 nautical miles [1.1 Nautical miles = 1 mile] designated as the coastal waters that a country has ownership of. Scientists tend to link geograhocal locations to nearest things like landmasses, bodies of water (aka great lakes or Mississippi river, Great Salt lake, etc.), mountains or mountain ranges and so on as giving just a GPS coordinate out in the near reaches of the Pacific Ocean means nothing to most people, so the next questions would be what country is that near, so might as well reference that to start with. About the only claim that Oregon Oregon would have to the seamount is horizontal line drawn through it center and extended east-west would intersect Oregon first. This is the same for any control or ownership by the US as the seamount is in International waters. That is unless the seamount finally breaks the surface and becomes a very early volcano building an island over a hot spot and erupts long enough and often enough to build an island that does not just erode back under the ocean surface, its most likely that the US or Canada may claim it unless some has is found living there, which is not going to happen on a newly erupting volcano. The real interest in this volcano seems to be the fact that it really has 2 mechanisms building it. Its over an area of seabed rift where a rift is occurring where the plate is pilling apart as the east part of the plate is moving east and under the Juan de Fuqco plate and the western side is moving west. But there is also a mantle plum (hot spot) that is filling magma chambers below this seamount much like in Hawaii and Iceland. It is most likely a case where, by the time there is anything to claim their, the geopolitics of that region would be radically diffrent, and the effect of plate movement and which way the seamount or eventual island moves depends on which side of the rift holds most of the volcano. Or if equally straddling the rift, as the seamount/island grows beckming heavier and pushing down more and the rift continues to open the seamount/island could simply collapse inyo the rift creating an even larger caldera.
Thank heavens only under the ocean. The pictures from California of the fire look more like liquid lava than regular fire. Maybe a volcanic eruption on land would just be the last straw for our sanity.
It would be interesting to calculate the net total effect on searise (or fall) as these underwater volcanoes create new underwater crust or fall down into calderas.
You are correct it isn't in Oregon and will not be unless it suddenly breaches the ocean to build new land o be claimed by the state since it is the closest but that seems incredibly unlikely to ever happen since none of the older seamounts seem to have breached the surface though notably they are rather understudied.
@@Dragrath1 Yep, it would take around thirty million years or so for plate to move enough for Cobbs Hotspot to be close enough and shallow enough to produce a new island closest to PNW where it can be claimed by Oregon or California, by judging where the plate is currently moving, which it is south-east.
They use pressure sensors that can measure the amount of overlying water. If the sea floor rises, there is less overlying water and the measured pressure at that location is lower.
No. The stress changes from Axial eruptions (which are frequent -- it also erupted in 1998, 2011, and 2015) are far too small to influence the subduction zone.
Is that actually Oregon? Isn't it international waters that will be having this volcanic eruption? Making this a comparatively rare eruption. While very nearly all volcanoes erupt in international waters, only a minority of Earth's volcanoes do so.
I was wondering when you were gonna make a video about this. Due to proximity I’m still a little bit concerned with the south sister growth on the western side.
It's in international waters so no it isn't in Oregon just Oregonite media has claimed it as their own unofficially as the closest state to the volcano
@@ikbalikbal769 While you are right that it is almost certainly a basalt dominated system and that it is unrelated to subduction, technically we can't rule out a small amount of more evolved lavas erupting occasionally since Kilauea 2018 Leilani estates eruption did involve a small amount of andesite formed via crystal fractionalization of an old magmatic intrusion which got pushed out by new melt influx. Generally it isn't wise to say 100% unless something is explicitly impossible rather than just unlikely. But yeah ridge centered hot spots even minor ones rarely erupt anything but Basalt unless they are overlain by mantle which contains entrained continental fragments since evidence seems to be building a picture that a mantle plume hot spot carries old mantle material with it even as it "moves" allowing reprocessed Zircons from ancient Rapa Nui eruptions to persist in the mantle and become reerupted by younger eruptions. At the very least the Icelandic hotspot, the Kerguelen hot spot(formerly ridge centered prior to the extinction of the Ninety east ridge which is now only a transform boundary) and quite possibly the Azores hot spot are all examples of mantle plumes which began as continental plumes before forming a new ocean basin and thus have some far more complex magma chemistry so we can't rule out the possibility of past history affecting things with regards to the Cobb hotspot as its chain's origin seems to have already subducted and the older volcanoes in the chain are understudied.
As axial seamount sits on the boundary between two ocean plates it errupts as basalt. Now, if the hotspot eventually ends up under the north american continent, it would change into something more like yellowstone. Then it might erupt from more salicic magmas like rhyolite. Fun fact: siletzia, which underlies most of western WA and OR , was once a large basaltic igneous province out in the ocean, a lot like axial seamount, and likely formed when the yellowstone hotspot was under it. It got scraped off the subducting plate and added to the continent. You can see siletzia basalt in the cliffs on a lot of the coast!
@ great info - much appreciated. I remember Nick Zentner doing a public geology lecture about Siletzia but I didn’t remember the details. I’ll have to go back and watch that. Thanks again 🙏🏼🌋
This one probably doesn’t have a big enough hotspot associated with it to break the surface of the water. However, Search Nick Zentner Siletzia if you’d like to see what can happen with an undersea eruption building enough land to create a large landmass that then collides with the pacific coast… obviously talking over the scale of millions of years.
Unlikely, as Cobbs Hotspot is small and isn't very active like Hawaiian hotspot are, as Cobbs produces low volume of fresh magma, so it would never breach surface unless plate moves further, cobbs hotspot to be at shallower depths. IIRC, by judging the pathway where plate is moving, Cobbs are heading for south-east, I believe? So it would take many millions years to reach surface and that is assuming if Cobbs has enough volume to keep up for long time as Cobbs are fairly old, around 30-50+ million years old.
@@kennycarter5682 IIRC, it's approximately 85+ million years old. So far, as I know that there is oldest seamount in far north that was estimated to be 85 million years old. I can't remember its name sorry but it's supposed to be disappearing fairly soon due to plate movement.
@@Helezhelm mm ya im aware the mounts go under the neighboring plate. and we cant find the flood province since the one that Hawaii created went under the crust long ago.
Pressure sensors. Those measure the pressure of the water column, which tells you how much water is above the sea floor at a given location (in essence, the depth). If the sea floor rises, there is less water above you, and the pressure is slightly lower.
No. There isn't any change in overall submarine volcanic activity (some are rising, some are sinking). Those that are rising aren't rising by much and are very small in comparison to the overall ocean basins.
“This volcanic eruption doesn’t pose a threat to anyone.” Yeah, that’s what they always say until Cthulhu gets unleashed upon the world. When will geologists learn?
@@nicholasgarrett8594 Is it within 200 miles of land? If so U may be technically correct, still not what most of us think of as Oregon. Off shore of Oregon would be better description but doesn't attract the same attention.

Jefferson isn't extinct, it's dormant volcano as its last eruptive activity was in 950 AD through monogenetic vent. Jefferson sits on the low volume magma body at deep crust formed by intraplate melting, so unlikely for Jefferson to be "overdue" at all. In fact, I wouldn't consider that Jefferson to erupt for another few thousand years at most.

Honestly, agreed. However from my point of view I find it interesting, as analyzing this next eruption will help us mitigate the dangers of actually dangerous land based shield volcanoes.
Thankfully, this expected eruption will almost certainly be harmless to everyone. This fact is primarily owed to Axial Seamount’s great depth.
Will this affect the Cascadia areas at all?
Will this affect my fellow aquatic creatures
What kind of sensors can or do they place around the volcano to gather data?
The depth is indeed what protects us for harm. I think the water pressure will damp effects. Was it on a depth of 50 or 100 m it was a different situation. But I think the type of lava is also important. Not every shallow submarine volcano is dangerous. Tonga was like krakatoa a kind with dangerous lava
Only significant vertical collapse, NOT depth, would matter.
No likely caldera collapse is likely, so no tsunami resulting from plungerlike disruption of water column.
In Timothy’s defense and based on local news coverage, Oregonians agree with him and have decided that this volcano is theirs.
As an Oregonian, I can confirm. This volcano belongs to me.

Does the formation of underwater calderas create tsunamis?

Yes Krakatoa’s caldera formation was the cause of the tsunamis
Interesting.

So if I understand correctly, this is not like a sudden sneeze but more like a slowly building fart.
So since it is 290 miles off shore, and well beyond our 12 mile limit for a countries "boundary", I'm not sure you can claim this is in Oregon.
I was surprised you didn’t hav ethos on your list of potential eruptions.

Is axial seamount a 100% basalt volcano or is there a possibility of andesite or rhyolite from subduction of the Pacific or Juan-de-Fuca plate?

Its getting hyped up for nothing.
Honestly, agreed. However from my point of view I find it interesting, as analyzing this next eruption will help us mitigate the dangers of actually dangerous land based shield volcanoes.

If it did go like 31k ago imagine the tsunami from the collapsing magma chambers...wow! Thank you!
