Cosmic Journeys - Supervolcanoes

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- They are eruptions so vast, so Earth-shattering, they have changed the history of our planet. Climate collapse. Toxic turmoil. Mass extinction. Worse than a killer asteroid, or nuclear war, they are Earth's most destructive Supervolcanoes.
North America, the time was six hundred and forty thousand years ago, long before humans arrived on the continent. Amid one of nature's great mountain building projects, the Rockies, vast columns of smoke began to rise high into the atmosphere. And soon a smokey haze wrapped the globe.
A thick blanket of ashe spread over the western United States. Geologists have traced this event to a depression in the land known as a caldera, in the heart of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Today, we venture to Yellowstone to admire its spectacles of steam and boiling mud.
Visitors to Yellowstone may never suspect they are atop one of the world's largest active volcanoes.
The last time it blew, it sent an estimated 1000 cubic kilometers of dirt, rocks, ashe, dust, and soot into the atmosphere. But that's small compared to Earth's largest super volcanoes. Find out what made Toba, Siberian Traps, Deccan Traps and other super eruptions so powerful.
I watch the videos with this narrator over and over. I wish there were more.
me too I love them and find them very relaxing his voice is so soothing to me.
This guys voice is perfect for falling asleep to, mean that in a good way.
nope. I wanted exactly that but this video kept me through till the very end.....now I lost my sleep :|
oh sorry work for me :(
on the plus side, it is a pretty interesting video
Yeah! I'm just stupid to be watching these videos when I am supposed to be doing something else :)
Yep me to
I am a Filipino from the Philippines where Mt. Pinatubo is located. I was amused by the info by this RUclips channel, didn't learn that in Philippine TV and in our school.
suppose you government dont want to scare or cause panic !
Ako din pre
Ethan Johnson it's not about panicking, it's about the government not giving a fuck about its inhabitants/people they govern
Totoy Imbalido yeah that sounds about right to.
Ethan Johnson "Amused" isn't the word I would use.
First time I have ever heard LIPs (Large Igneous Provinces) mentioned in a documentary, so kudos to this video. Also, very informative covering all of the known Supervolcanoes, as a geologist, learning about these megaeruptions is purely fascinating.
I tremendously enjoy all the documentaries that Dick Rodstein narrates. What a tremendous voice!
Awesome video. Thanks for posting this bit of sanity. We need it on the web.
And thanks to the source of the video.
This channel is amazing. My Nephews, Nieces, and myself all thank you for your brilliant videos. PLEASE. Keep up the good work!
Yes they are fantastic
great video. very eye opening, i'm very interested to watch space video's but this is so much 'closer to home', and therefore it is a video not to be missed.
I love watching these shows. The power from our earth
Ah! I LOVE videos like this! Keep up the amazing work! PLEASE NEVER STOP! PLEASE!
A Cosmic Journey ep on a Friday? Oh boy, going to be a great weekend already!~
Thank u.i hope u resume posting more like this
Just imagine 5:16 about to blow again in out life time I absolutely love this channel non click bait and right to the point
RUclips is REAL clickbait. I could easily spend the rest of my life watching the amazing videos that people have submitted/created. Without knowing it at the time I was raised in a supervolcanic caldera (Taupo). I was fascinated as child by volcanoes and associated phenomena. I climbed many of them in the region. I enjoyed watching some of the drilling of the Wairakei geothermal field (my dad, a science teacher at the college) had some great connections.
Great and Very Informative video!! Mr Rodstein is one of the Best narrators that I've ever had the pleasure to hear!! ☺✌Ty
Very interesting as always, keep up the excellent videos
Very interesting information about are home planet. Thank you for sharing
Volcanoes = Earth's pimples!
Arien Dante 🤣
Pimples of death ☠
It would be embarrassing for mankind to be wiped out by a big zit.
More like acne...
Really interested in Volcanos & Space great channel this is.
The narrator has a great sounding voice and choice of words.
great documentary
It's amazing just how exact time the narrator can tell us all these things happen.
I miss the Icelandic volcanos, really good video👍
Isn't it depressing that people could ACTUALLY fall asleep to such a fascinating video.
ah but I've watched it so many times I know the content off by heart. I watch them to help me sleep because his voice is very soothing it's not because the content is boring.
Dick Rodstein is the best; by far!
Amazed at the shear size of the eruptions. Very interesting video.
M A G M A
Well, we're all doomed anyway. "No One Here Gets Out Alive"
Outstanding video.
I thought I read slow....
Yah, thanks for making a great recording other people’s hard work.
I sure as hell hope Yellowstone never decides to go in my lifetime.
I hope it does erupt
Scarely, i hope it does for me
The_Disabled_Gamer#2
I'd be more worried about Lake Toba.
Thank you for a factual presentation, deplete of sensational garbage.
I love your videos -- thank you!
Once again great learning experience about our planet, mechanisms underneath its surface and space around it. Well done SpaceRip as always!
The nature is perfect, we are ignorant to destroy them.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Your comment gave me cancer
I live in the biggest supervolcano, but here everything is look good and amazing.
Amazing great work as always
Yellowstone really should be classified as a MegaVolcano!
The Disabled Gamer I'd say a megavolcano would likely be vei 9 or vei 10. Equivalent of 10,000 and 100,000 cubic kilometers of ejecta. Yellowstone pumped out 2,700 in its largest eruption. Volcanoes of vei 9 and 10 do exist but vei 9 and 10 don't exist on a scale. I'd say flood basalt eruptions would fit the category. Since the vei scale is logarithmic. Yellowstone would be a vei 8.27. Still very deadly.
Indeed.
@@TheDisabledGamersChannel came back to my comment to realize just how big of an understatement I just made. Flood basalt eruptions are far bigger than I just stated. The Siberian traps eruption ejected over 4 million cubic kilometers of material. Ongtong java was an undersea flood basalt which ejected about 100 million cubic kilometers of material. Oh how big of an understatement I just made. Sometimes I wonder if the only purpose of science is to scare you to the very core. Lol
Indeed it can, just try to imagine that, 100 million cubic kilometers of material, Insane !
@@TheDisabledGamersChannel it's hard to even imagine something that colossal. Gives you an idea just how powerful the planet actually is.
Fantastic video again, doing a great service
Pretty scary thought...let's hope it doesn't happen any time soon! I'm already freaked out about the meteor shower tonight! lol Very interesting video, thanks!!
skylilly
Спасибо!
very nice video and a good window display thank you.
I
good 29 minutes entertainment. and about TOBA. if that will explode again, that will not be far away. I probably can youtube it.
If "HYPER"-Volcano such as Siberian Traps / Permian Extinction happen again, human should live on another planet because Earth will looks like a Venus for 10-20 millions of years.
So how did Earth become not like Venus? Biological activity? Why can't be just do that to Venus to make it not like Venus?
viper100200 because we live on "Goldilocks" zone, after fiery days our Earth will cool itself and become habitable again.
I understand the Goldilocks zone I'm wondering what the mechanism is you're proposing that turns a planet from Venus to Earth.
viper100200 i said "looks like" and not "become a Venus" because Venus didn't have magnetic field and continental plate, it also didn't have proper "cooling mechanism" (temperature on Venus pole only slightly cooler than the equator, no ocean to absorb heat.)
I guess since you said we would have to leave the planet to survive you were implying conditions would be similar to that of Venus (ie oceans would boil). Also, the cooling mechanism that the earth's crust has (via plate tectonics) has nothing to do with the cooling of the planet's atmosphere. Which was always my question.
11:24 starts a piano theme in the background. So touching
Anybody know the name of this music?
What about supervolcano under water near Canaria Islands? What about supervolcano under water near Japan?
fantastic
Could it be that half of Western US is desert and brown due to the last Yellowstone super volcano eruption?
The remnants of the last eruption can be seen in south-central Idaho, at Craters of the Moon National Monument. The vegetation of the west is due to current climate conditions.
alachabre
I have to check on that. Thanks.
It's where all the waste from the toilets on the West Coast go when they flush. You know I'm telling the truth because you saw it on RUclips!
Amazing!!!
I like to think that rather than buoyancy causing magma to float upwards, the relentless pressure of solid crust pushing down squeezes the semi-liquid magma upwards like toothpaste being squeezed from a tube. ?
I'll just be thankful that this current super volcano isn't another Toba
If enough oce melts the land mass becomes out of balance and the crust will shift(polar flip). The poles don't move but the land mass will. It will rebalance.
Hey supervolcano at Yellowstone, blow now. You can't mess up 'Merica anymore than it is.
I'm a filipino and we have 3 volcanoes that I know that is powerful. 1st mount mayon is the perfect cone shaped volcano. It can be found at region 5 Bicol it exploded the whole legazpi city.
2nd taal volcano, if you passed gr 3 then you should know this. Taal volcano is a part of the 10 most active volcanoes.
This is sorrounded by taal lake this can erupt half of tagaytay city.
And 3rd of all mount pinatubo, this volcano is mentioned here and like it says its one of the most super volcanoes.
I'm lucky I'm not in USA but let us all pray that this will erupt when were all dead because this 2014 in the philippines only a 7.3 earthquake will hit the capital city of philippines. ;( I live there;(
رائع جداً
Good narator voice man
As a supplement to this, you should take what simulations were done from Yellowstone and the data from Pinatubo (sp?) and apply it to Iceland's recent volcanic activity that did a number on air travel across the Atlantic. Ash, smoke, debris, etc. It wasn't a super volcano but it can show how destructive and disruptive any eruption can be.
We survived it once we can do it again yes there will not be as many of us but we made it be for where strong
You know, Yellowstone gets a lot of attention, but it's not even the biggest one in North America. Long Valley is like the second-largest one on the damn planet, and it's a much bigger tourist destination than Yellowstone. More people go to Mammoth Mountain every year than Yellowstone, like 8 major population centers are within 200 miles of Long Valley, it's right next to one of the most dangerous and active fault zones on the planet, it's more active than Yellowstone, and scientists have NO idea what keeps the system running. It's bigger, badder, and it's listed with a higher Threat Potential than Yellowstone.

My fav.
I wonder what Earth would look like if the great extinction didn't happen there would be so much more life around us :(
+Tsyche well, there would be no humans..
Probably many species would still go extinct, though much more slowly.
11:24 anyone know the background music?
+Ganaa Dany Seriously!! That sounds like fun to play.
The answer to global warming seems to be nuclear winter, then.
that doesnt make any sense, a super volcano like this would be much worse than the effects of global warming. this could cause a volcanic winter lasting for years with many species of plants and animals going extinct. global warming is causing sea levels to rise, and some increased storm activity, which threatens our coastal cities, but would not cause mass extinction. im just saying...
very very interesting to learn Rafat Yusufi
Holy cow!
Awesome vid but the way
20;08 is that a huge shark fin ?
Just saw an anti vaping add, theyre reasonings were solely based on the fact that many vape brands are owned by the tobacco industry. So should I quit vaping and just go back to smoking cigarettes!? I was under the impression that ecigs are MUCH LESS damaging to the human body.
This video is actually rather quite depressing if you think about it, I imagine myself, with my family all being very close together, all dying together in one spot. Or an earthquake happens, and one of them falls or even worse scenarios! :(
Thusforth why I do NOT like visiting or thinking about Yellowstone, Toba, and more...
Look, we're all going to go some day. Just live while you can, enjoy life, do what you can to help people...
We don't know for sure when our time will come, but that doesn't mean we should get depressed about it. Live well today.
So if global warming got really out of control and we warmed the earth by a few degrees and melted the ice caps, but then a super volcano erupts and reduces the temputure would nature be regulating itself?
If human population got out of control and through misguided chaotic behavior nuked themselves to near extinction, wouldn't that be nature balancing itself?

Not fully due to the chemicals smoke ash lava and other stuff would render the water completely useless and turn it in to a type of acid I believe sulfuric acid
Good video dude I like it
سبحان الخالق سبحان ربي العظيم
It does look like the end of man Kind. God said watch the sky for signs as a child I always believed that all would be distroyed at once The 🔥 of God and His Son Are you ready I pray we all are,I'm looking for Heaven's Peace, God Bless You All.from Val
Valery English Damn too many Christians seem too happy at the thought of the end of the world, human suffering and misery.
I swear it’s the psychopath streak inside you. We all have it, some of us just chose to ignore it.
You really should be praying to your god not to do it. Why wish suffering on billions?
Just enjoy the science.
So God is just this huge almighty bully with anger issues?
the dust would color the snow and ice making them melt?:)
UK looks like it's safe from the clouds
Tony Davies Not entirely. The south of England and part of Wales looked screwed. Plus global temperatures would drop overall anyway.
Hope we have a contingency plan.
Hey everybody, it's 2 weeks before Christmas in 2018 and Ebola is back! Happy Holidays.....while we're all still alive!

Cosmic Journey, our dna shows when our cosmic journey came to and end when prehistoric humans evolved with a little manipulation from Travelers. The Johnny Apple Seed’s of space.
A thousand years without a Big Island.
The Great dying.
For later.
It never happened.
Supervolcanoes - We are ants compared to Supervolcanoes.
DON'T WORRY: Humans only have around 100 years tops on this Planet if Unlucky to survive that long being subjected to all the Body Pains; Stresses and the IDIOCY OF HUMANITY...
It said the temperature of the planet core is rising.
ARE WE DOOOOMED?
They could have just said that if a supervolcano erupts, we all dead
now you know how your "apocalypse" will look like
wounded fellow “Your”?
What, you mean you’re like separate from it all?
Not necessarily. It's only one possibility among many.
When will it blow again.
Anytime
Soon
When the time comes alfred
When I order pizza and I lose my ballsack.
Are we due ? (Super low voice)..
Probably a stupid idea otherwise someone would've thought of it: but why can't we pump magma out of the magma chambers thus alleviating the pressure so the volcano doesn't erupt. I know it probably is impossible, but can someone explain to me why that would be impossible. Or would it just be too expensive?
That's actually a pretty cool idea. But why i think it can't be done is mainly because it's impractical. Just try to imagine how much magma we're talking about. Where would we put it and how would we get it there? Digging large pools around volcano valleys might sound like a good idea, so we could do some "blood letting" of magma to reduce pressures. But pretend we could actually pump magma out from the earth - it's a risky business messing around with such immense pressures. One could also argue it's part of the earth's natural cycle and shouldn't be tampered with, though we do it every day anyway... And yeah, money.
I agree with whyhatestrangers and would add that equipment capable of performing such a thing would have to be created then where would the mountain of material go? Dont forget it cant go very far because its cooling becoming more viscous.
the amount of magma you would have to move would be incredible, also take into consideration that almost as soon as you remove that magma the earth will basically refill it.
This is actually something that many people have proposed over the lifetime of geology. But basically, it's a verrry dangerous thing to do. Imagine you have a pressurized deodorant spray can. Poke a hole in it. Not a good idea. Now imagine that you poke a hole in it while holding it over a fire. Terrible idea. Now, imagine poking twenty thousand gallons worth of pressurized cans with a fire poker, whilst they are rotating over a fire that can melt steel. This isn't even close to the outcome of trying to channel magma. It's just a very horrendously dangerous thing to do. Making one teeny route to the surface could potentially break a small continent if you do it wrong.
+frisianmouve *i know this comment is a year old* now imagine just letting any of that magma/ now lava leak out, or a terrible accident occurs, lots of deaths could occur if something terrible would happen, its a shame we cant just wear latex gloves and pick up the lava, or spray liquid nitrogen on our bodies :(, god us humans are so pitiful
And then, Battlefield 2142.
1 dislike is a volcano
So. Many. Ads.
What about the Volcano Eruption in New Zealand, wiping out some of the native animals, leaving a big crater (Lake Taupo) with the suit clouds reaching China?
what if...what if...what if....gimme fuckin oxygen
Double Ghod Funny
Could harvesting geothermal energy help stabilize those areas?
Cees Timmerman sorry for the late reply. I haven't found this video until now. I believe we can stabilize areas on the scale of Yellowstone and toba. Volcanoes are merely a way for earth to release heat energy. However we would need huge geothermal plants to do so. Assuming the hotspot doesn't move. Which they do very slowly. Stabilizing a large igneous province from a mantle plume or a superplume would be impossible. They are just too vast to stabilize. The only way they stabilize is by eruption.
Iraq?
Is this fake or true?
We don’t need those states anyway
"Cosmic" word is mean that "coast's"...! m.m.a.rana
these would be good places to dump Islamic State extremists one by one until they stop their nonsense ....yeah!!
if anybody is looking for me?
say that they can find me on mars...
