Concepcion Volcano Update; New Eruption Occurs, Largest in 18 Years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- An unexpected volcanic eruption just occurred on an island home to 30,000 people. This took place on Ometepe Island, as the Concepcion volcano in Nicaragua produced its first eruption in 13 years. While this eruption was still fairly small, it was above average in the context of this volcano, which could in the mid term see additional volcanic explosions occur.

Wow, what a gorgeous volcano that is.
I thought I was the only one who thought that it is very beautiful. It wouldn't shock me to see a dinosaur walk by.
The whole island is beautiful. The other volcano Maderas, have a lagoon at the crater where you can swim. Beautiful Ometepe, favorite place of my Nicaragua 🥰
In other words, the inhabitants of the area were lucky to get away with a nice dusting of slow release fertilizer on their fields and gardens!
Great Content. Thank You for bringing geology to RUclips.
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
Thank you ❤
Thanks for sharing Sir! Always interesting! 😊 Glad you warn people!
I think I just found my "Why and when", what a beauty.
Big fan of your content! Keep up the good work
Love your channel! Always look forward to it! Thank you so much!
Thanks.
Thanks as always! The Concepcion volcano is very conical.
We all know what today is.
I thought it had erupted last month, but that was a misconception.
😂😂😂
Is the unexpected-ness of this volcano possibly attributed to a lack of monitoring equipment? Given the number of towns and development on the island one would think this shouldn't have been so unexpected.
AFAIK, phreatic eruptions are much harder to predict than other types of eruption. They tend to occur abruptly and with no warning.
That's not how geology works
I was lucky to climb the Concepcion twice. Nicaragua is a very, very poor country with limited budget for monitoring equipment. If there's even equipment (hard to say, the jungle is thick but I never saw anything that resemble scientific equipment on or around the volcano), it is little very old and limited in what it can detect.
The nearby volcano recently had a mudslide and the active volcano closed off. This started to create more pressure underground. The locals told me they have been expecting an erruption soon somewhere else. There is a big one near Managua that is "due" to blow. Has a 2000 year cycle. That one would be trouble.
@@thelittlestbean82 fascinating. No snark. Genuinely.
Another interesting development in the world of your chosen field. Keep up the good work. Greg. 😊.
Impressive analysis! Thanks for what you do
Thanks for the information!
A stunningly-beautiful volcano! Just as lovely as Mt Fuji!
Thanks for this video. When I visit, I'll make sure to stay close to the other volcano
8 years is insignificant even in human terms.
could you please do a video on lava shields and how they form (not shield volcanoes themselves, but shields formed by long eruptions, for example: mauna iki, pu'u' o'o' more specifically kupaianaha, and more)
Con-sep-see-own. Great video, as always!
Thanks. I would amend that to cone-sep-see-OWN to make it more understandable to English speakers.
Also, today is the anniversary of the Mt. Helens eruption in 1980.
I was there, our unit responded and it was surreal!
😢My teacher had just come back from cross-country skiing across it's glacier and had showed the class all his pictures! Surreal is so accurate!
Interesting 🌋
I think I felt that!
Hey geology hub, can you make a video on the volcanic field north of Puerto Peñasco, Mexico that borders Arizona and Mexico, called El Pinacate?
A gorgeous angry mountain.
Well thats fun.
the whole lake is a volcano
🫨
Actually it is… Nicaragua have a high volcanic activity & many of our lakes come from very ancient volcanic eruptions
Central America: *volcanoes erupting all the time*
Alaska: *volcanoes erupting all the time*
Cascades: 🛌💤💤
You forgot Indonesia; meanwhile, Mt. St. Helen's still likes to remind us she's still breathing.😉
Is the lake it’s in a massive caldera?
Isn't it somewhere where they want to build another shipping canal between the Pacific and the Atlantic ocean?
Imagine it was open and then this volcano erupts more heavily...
But all right, now the Panama canal is or was not at it's full capacity, was a drought the reason?
Such canals seam to have some risks... Also near the one at Africa...
The latest is that the Chinese primary mover and financier of the canal has backed out, so for at least for the present the canal is tabled. And yes, the Panama canal has been effected by the drought.
That was a smoke screen of the government for taking out resources cause than Chinese investor doesn’t exist in China 🙈
is the lake this volcano is in a caldera?
First
That lake looks like a giant caldera..
Is the lake a caldera?
That was my question when he showed the map of the volcanic islands in the lake.
Used to be maaaaany eons ago. All our lakes in Nicaragua are from ancient volcanic eruptions
Lava bombs are not something I’d ever want to see outside of a video game. They have to be terrifying.
What are the chances of an extinct volcano eruption? The volcano I live by has had a large uprise in earthquakes from one or 2 a year to almost 20 in a 48 hr period, they have calmed and nothing bigger then a 2.0 has happened the past 2 day now my biggest concern is the geothermal power plant has been the epicenter for the large portion of those quakes and dont think they have that strict of regulations to follow not being in the usa. I just have bad feelings about them drilling into the fault line to the magma chamber of said volcano
In Iceland they accidentally drilled into a magma chamber when developing a geothermal plant. They ruined the drill, but nothing else happened. The water that geothermal plants pump can sometimes lubricate faults and cause small earthquakes, similar to fracking operations.
Drilling through a sill or a dike (aka a fault line) filled with uncooled magma won't do anything. And the U.S. doesn't have good rules about that either. Iceland and Greenland do, and they're where the evidence that nothing happens comes from.
With that bright yellow ball in the sky juicing up our blue ball with real power, are we too surprised?
Luv your channel!
Any correlation to the solar flares ?
Yep
Nope! There is no mechanism by which solar flares might influence or cause volcanic eruptions or earthquakes for that matter. I'm sure the conspiracy theory crowd will try to make a connection anyway. 🙄
Hopefully the locals don't have any misConcepcions about the danger of this volcano
what the conception?
con-SEP-see-OHN
Is there really any such thing as a "Dormant" volcano? I have heard that at least 1 volcano erupts once a year on Earth that has not erupted in 10,000 years.
Dormant and extinct is not the same
The term 'dormant' is used much less these days, which I think is a pity. And volcanoes have erupted in this century which had not previously erupted in the last 10,000 years (at least so far as we can tell), but much less than one per year I think.
Stay away from this volcano or life will *end* at Concepción…
Kinda makes sense because of recent bursts from the sun?
Errrr WHAT ?
After Earth getting washed by 7 X-class solar flares, it doesn't seem that 'unexpected' to me.
Expect to see more eruptions like this...
Errrrr, WHAT?
How would solar flares affect tectonic plates? I would like to know.
Solar flares have absolutely nothing to do with 🌋. Plate tectonics do, though. Now that you know, quit listening to the flat earthers.😂
earth is going to become cooler than it already is with all that superfine silica floating around along with gases that can block the sun's heat. we're already experiencing a grand solar minimum. earth will cool off more now. I live in Central Alabama, and by this time, even last month we should have been scorching already. it's just the way it is here in this town, always stupidly hot early in spring. but we've unusually cool days and cooler nights for weeks. global warming my @ss.
Terra nova.. precursor to solar hypernova of our white sun with a blue corona.
Ok. I like your program. But! And I've got a big but! The letter I in Spanish is pronounced as English E. So far so good. But. A is
pronouced AH, not UR. Furthermore, the end of the word is three letters: GUA. There is no R. And U is pronounced as a hard ooh. So here we go: Knee Cahrah Goo Ah. Knee cur rah gur a is ridiculous.
Have you ever watched a sport broadcast?
This is bizarre AI voice. Creepy.
No. This is his real voice - it can be a bit monotone because he is autistic (as he explains in the intro to his Iceland drone flight livestream about a month ago, where you also see the person you have just insulted). If you find autistic people creepy you have some learning to do)! Just concentrate on the content of his videos which is consistently excellent, and if you really can't stand his voice mute it and follow the transcript instead..
It's his natural voice. He's a geologist, not a voice actor.
Stop talking about AI when you have no clue
I think the commentary is AI generated. It is flat, boring and totally devoid of emotion.
This is NOT AI generated, stop talking about things you have no clue about. This is a hardworking man that happens to have touch of autism. Learn some tolerance of others. Or mute and the subs if your brain can't handle it
It’s actually an amazing guy who is on the spectrum and who intonates differently. Not AI this time 🙂
