In this facts-packed video, we explore the fascinating and somewhat alarming topic of California's Long Valley Caldera, a supervolcano that has both scientists and residents paying close attention. We kick things off by explaining what a supervolcano is and how it differs from the regular volcanoes you might be more familiar with. Understanding the sheer scale and potential impact of a supervolcano sets the stage for the rest of the discussion.
We then delve into the "Cooling Theory," a recent scientific hypothesis suggesting that the Long Valley Caldera is actually cooling down. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology have used advanced seismic technology to study the volcano's activity, and their findings offer a different perspective on the frequent earthquakes and ground deformations in the area.
But what about the earthquake swarms that have been occurring since the late 1970s? Are they a sign of an imminent eruption or merely a symptom of the cooling process? We explore this question in depth, providing insights into the ongoing seismic activities and what they mean for the future of the supervolcano.
High-resolution imaging techniques have given scientists a clearer picture of what's happening beneath the Earth's surface. We discuss how these advanced technologies have been used to map out the caldera and the underlying magma chamber, offering further evidence to support the cooling theory.
One of the most intriguing discoveries is the existence of a "lid" made of crystallized magma that sits atop the magma chamber. This lid is believed to play a crucial role in containing volatile gases and liquids, reducing the risk of a major eruption. We explore the significance of this lid and how it impacts the current seismic activities in the area.
We also take a broader look at the threat assessment of the Long Valley Caldera, discussing how it's classified as a "very high threat" not just because of its activity, but also because of the potential impact on people and properties. We even touch upon other volcanoes in California that are also considered high-risk, such as Mt. Shasta and the Lassen Volcanic Center.
Lastly, we discuss ongoing research and preparedness measures. Scientists are far from done studying the Long Valley Caldera, and local authorities are taking these findings seriously. Emergency plans are being developed to ensure the safety of residents in case the unexpected happens.
Whether you're a science enthusiast, a California resident, or someone who's simply intrigued by the power of Mother Nature, this video offers a comprehensive look at one of the most talked-about natural phenomena in recent times. So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn about the Long Valley Caldera, California's very own supervolcano.
Scientists Fear California Supervolcano Is About to Erupt
I’m confused, your video title said the eruption was imminent and then it’s not imminent at all. ⚠️Click bait ⚠️🤬⛔️❌❌❌🚫
Explains only 35k subs
Only GOD knows
I met an interesting person few years ago, He said when he buy his new home, he also spent some time to study the layout of the region his house located, where to go when a riot/disaster happen.
Why are you confused 🫤, it’s OBVIOUSLY 🙄 click bait!
@@randomreal3228 I'm assuming he lives in Antarctica.
Will the super-volcano be able to wipe out California’s budget deficit?
It would be able to wipe out california
@alp8409, 😂😂😂
It will only wipe governor Nudesome's a$$!!😂😂🤣🤣👍👍
No, but a sustained Republican Super Majority could, and would defiantly help. As we know there has been a lot of damage done by the Democrats, everywhere they get in control.
@@richardcallihan9746 Well now that's total BS. Been here since Reagan was the Gov. No republican has been able to anything useful or beneficial.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Eventually
I was just a acorn guys fret not
Geologists actually do not expect an eruption in the near future. The current magma chamber has roughly 27% of active liquid were a minimum of 35%~50% is required for a possible eruption to occur.
The usgs lies
Last I heard, Yellowstone Caldera is at 10%, probably no eruption for another 100,000 years from now, but Long Valley's at 25%......
I'm pretty sure the Scientists working for the Government have an NDA agreement on the True Levels and Chances of Super Disasters Happening, for Panic Reasons and also For THEIR OWN GUARANTEED SPOT IN AN ACTUAL LIVEABLE BUNKER that's capable of keeping their own families going, I mean look at the Crime and Mass Looting in California right now... and that's just giving them a TINY Example that the Human Race will always Panic and cause more problems as they desperately try to locate all of their Family and Friends, while every SINGLE other Person without High Class or Elite Status will Also be Doing in a Frenzy... so ya they know what will happen and they know they can't save most of us.
They are Saying We Are Over-Populated so that's another reason not to talk, and we've learned through, "if it comes down to me or you...." mentality, that Most Humans will Always Choose Their OWN LIFE over a Strangers... Always...
Sad, but it's true. Even Lots of families have been torn apart a by Politicians, Greed, Social Networking, Divorce Rates, the Affordable Housing Crisis, Massive Forest Fires, Climate Change that feels like its now occurring at Mach1 Speeds, and The Drug OD Epidemic (which I believe is China or Somebody Weaponizing and Killing our Able Bodied Militaries already dying Recruiting Problem in 1st world Countries, to avoid Real Modern Missile Conflict... their Native Population in Asia keeps growing while North America's and Central America is being wiped out by Super Drugs. I Truly think that some B and B+ Grade movie directors are trying to warn us through film and internet documentaries, while The A and A+ Theatrical and the Bigger Higher Quality Paid WiFi TV and Movie Streaming Services are just giving us hints and playing with us for fun to cause some of these already occuring reactions, from "Online Conspiracy News" Preppers. It's all Downhill from here.

@@triax7218 tell me when I'm telling lies 😉
Long Valley Caldera isn't near any major cities. The closest town is Mammoth Lakes, which is a mountain resort town that is popular with hikers in the summer and skiers in the winter/spring. Because of westerly winds it would impact Nevada and Utah more than California. I like to soak in the hot springs in the area.
The statement made in the video about being close to major cities is obviously false to anyone slightly familiar to the location of the Long Valley Caldera. Portions of the town of Mammoth Lakes are located on the western edge of the caldera, but with a population of 7,200 would not be considered a city. At 30 miles from the southern portions of the caldera is the City of Bishop, with a total metro area population of about 13,000 to 14,000 people, not a big city either. The Antelope Valley area of L.A. County is about 225-250 miles to the south and the city of Reno is about 160 miles to the north. Both could be considered major cities, but are not "nearby."
With resurgent dome calderas, usually called "supervolcanoes", prevailing winds don't mean squat.
@@wannabetowasabe As the crow flies the nearest "major" city would be Fresno -- and the only threat the LVC would pose to Fresno would be ash and MAYBE pyroclastic flows down the San Joaquin River. However that's about a 70-mile trip downriver from Mammoth Mtn into Fresno and one would think a flow of even appreciable size would peter out mostly before it reached the Central Valley. The Bishop Tuff was a MASSIVE pyroclastic flow and it made it barely 10 miles before it ran outta gas just outside of Bishop. So the idea that there are "major" cities affected by the LVC is a bit of a stretch. This is mostly hype; I have no quarrel with the science presented here but it doesn't align with the titled of the video, which contradicts the bottom-line science here and is clearly clickbait.
If it’s a super volcano, it doesn’t have to be close to any towns or cities to do. Major damage is completely different from a volcano.
"Scientists Fear California Supervolcano is About to Erupt". Then we learn from the video that it's not going to erupt. Good job.
Whew ! I was so scared it was
What is officially known about the caldera is that a solid rock structure is actually covering the magma chamber which is likely preventing big eruptions from occurring but the cooling process may release enough gas and liquid to cause earthquakes and small eruptions
This producition is mostly just scary fresh plucked nonsense for the hype....
I'm disappointed l think California sucks 😎
@@bhuddy1832 lmao And the San Andreas fault is just a myth. Make sure you don't leave California for the next year.
Yep, this is where they publish all of these peer reviewed geology papers....? @@unclewazza777
@@unclewazza777The history of quakes on the San Andreas fault that the scientists give us occurred when there was a very large lake at the bottom of California near Baja, which would fill up and become very heavy with water in winters with large amounts of rainfall and that was when the large quakes would occur. So the San Andreas is not false but the quake history is 😮 very misleading!
It’s cooling off, and likely to not erupt. You’re welcome.
Yep. CA supervolcano-not going to erupt
They need to upload a video when it erupts & stop misleading people with their false titles.
False titles are clickbait and attract viewers. That's what social media is about. Corrupt.
Welcome to the wide world of clickbait
Been hearing all my life how California is gonna side into the ocean, well im still waiting. Fingers crossed.
California is not a boat it can't sink, it can however split off into its own island nation away from the rest of you idiots
Yeah, well your fingers are going to cramp up long before that happens.
It would be nice to have LA next to SF. Then each team Dodgers and Giants would not have far to travel. Hence saving expenses.
My relative works in the Government there, and many officials are privately worried that an eruption is up & coming. Honestly, I sure wouldn't want to live in those towns that are near-by. If it erupts, it will be totally devastating. Many lives will be lost, and the economies will not be able to function after this happens. And, Insurance doesn't mean jack-squat when this happens.
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info! What other types of video would you like to see?
What would we do without the constant doom and gloom reports?

If you like food, electricity, water, warmth, shelter and information, you`d better do whatever you can WHILE you can to set things up to provide your own supply of these things. The sun is about to pause the modern paradise everyone takes completely for granted and thinks they despise. And good for them. They need a big lesson about what our Founders handed them on a silver platter. It`s gonna be hilarious.
Scientists have to worry about something. Lol
Australia hereJust found out there is 3 volcanoes in Australia that are quite young,last one erupted 7 thousand years ago, and one just had trees die off on one section reason is being looked into..The magma chamber is quite shallow in this one and can one day erupt again,not a big eruption but the town near it will be wiped out,and it could be quite sudden.the state of Victoria has a volcanic field,and there is another volcanic field in the state of Queensland quite young also.
You are so right on that. My relative works in the Government, and many officials around there are privately worried that an eruption is up & coming. Honestly, I sure wouldn't want to live in those towns that are near-by. If it erupts, it will be totally devastating.
Victorian government is known for its hate for the environment, so no big loss.
See Campi Flegrei. Or do a quick search of 536ad.
Nah, just clickbait. According to scientists:
"The study author Zhongwen Zhan said: 'We don't think the region is gearing up for another supervolcanic eruption, but the cooling process may release enough gas and liquid to cause earthquakes and small eruptions."
And you believe these "experts" being vomited from modern universities, do ya? LOL! Oh boy! Well guess what? There are literally DOZENS of active volcanoes around the world large enough to destroy modern agriculture. It happens far more frequently than they`ll ever admit. We`ve been way too lucky so far and this is highly unusual. AND...the sun is expected to absolutely FRY the entire electrical grid across the globe at any time in the coming 18 months. We`re talking about copper wiring inside buildings becoming WHITE HOT! Guess what that does?
Soooooo the thumb nail don't match the wording 😂 once again
USGS keeps saying the same mantra time and again: 1. It can pose an extinctional threat. 2. No immediate danger. 3. More monitoring and research needed. 4. You need the USGS. As long as the USGS keeps saying this mantra, those working for USGS will have a good income. Old mantra: Make them dependent of you, make yourself indespensible and laugh all the way to the bank.
Headline: "Supervolcano is About to Erupt"
Narrator: The magma chamber is cooling and unlikely to erupt.
Viewer: I've just been punked again by clickbait.
And the first picture they showed was grand prismatic spring, which is located in Yellowstone national Park, which is located in Wyoming, not California. I hate it when people can’t get their information, right.
Not a single fearful scientist was named. I wanted to know which scientists were spreading fear.
A map that shows where this is would be helpful. The land marks mentioned here are equally obscure to this long time CA resident.
How deep were the deposits from the last eruption of Long Valley...??
One can only hope...
Let’s see it, this would be pretty cool
I'm in Portland Oregon, and those of us in the Ring of Fire are ready for this.
They don't know when but have signs of impending eruption.
Wondering what a Supervolcano is, we've got you covered - with LAVAaaaaaaaa! 🤣
You are showing beaches when it's on the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains almost in Nevada. No not near major city biggest city Reno miles away but in the same valley. No point in worrying since no way to change what it does and as it is,it is unlikely to erupt.
So, heating or cooling? The headline is clickbait.
I think the headline was supposed to be- Volcano cooling.
Big Deal...Pliny the Elder bought the farm getting too close to Vesuvius in the interest of science. You gotta go sometime...might as well go out with a bang
Why is this not a topic of the Cal OES Emergency Center?
Not sure eight minute video is a “close look” but thanks
The question is which is more likely to erupt first, Long Valley or Yellowstone?
I vote for CA
Yellowstone is leaking too much heat from all the hot springs to build up pressure.
Campi Flegrei or about 200 others around the planet. Any one of them can destroy modern agriculture for years by dimming the sun by over 50%. Welcome to reality.
I bet they only noticed after Dutch pointed out several locations in the last decade. Yet no one pays much attention to the Sun and as it heats up the Earth during this magnetic flip cycle, which we only have possible ideas as to what might happen. What will happen is unknown as we as a civilization have not managed to maintain long term information of the world. That leaves us with a lot of, what we think is happening here as to what we know is happening here. We can't even figure out our weather yet we want to act like we know other things in absolute certainty. I say we take a bigger picture of things one in which involves our Sun, as it is reheating our planet for who knows how many times.
@@charlesrichter3854yeah and the mass amounts of solar energies converted at the poles of the earth flow threw the earth threw the core of the earth in the from of energy which I am sure you are right energy does heat anything. The Aurora is just bouncing off the atmosphere...no harm here! yeah, so um...if you think that then all is fine in the world go back to sleep.
One phenomena of the Long Valley Caldera is the area around Horseshoe Lake on the south slopes of Mammoth Mountain near the city of Mammoth Lakes where the volcanic activity is releasing large amounts of Carbon Dioxide into the soil and air that has caused a lot of the trees in the area to die and forms an area of potential Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere hazards.
You are correct. There's enough gas released to fill a million champaign bottles per day.
Horseshoe Lake is not in the Long Valley Caldera so the two are not linked. The CO2 being released is due to a magma chamber deep underground. CO2 is a product of cooling magma and the emissions themselves are cold. This is one of the only wide spread releases of cold CO2 in the world. The magma chambers underneath Horseshoe Lake and the Long Valley Caldera are two distinct bodies of magma, not connected at all.
The CO2 emissions began in the summer of 1989 after a earthquake swarm below below Mammoth Mountain caused changes in a fault underlying Horseshoe Lake and the west side of Mammoth Mountain. This as also opened up a "drain" of sorts that is responsible for water loss in the lake. The effects of this gas were first noted in the trees around the lake in the September-October period of 1989. There was an incident on March 11, 1990 where a U.S. Forest Service employee, on ski patrol in the Lakes Basin, entered a cabin near the lake and was nearly killed by a buildup of CO2 inside the cabin caused by the surrounding snow cover of about 10 feet in depth. The air pockets in snow cover absorb CO and because CO is heavier than air traps the gas and results in a high concentration of it. I'm quite familiar with the gas emissions and this particular incident.
There is a very small hazard in the summer, where gas concentrations emitted from the soil lower to normal atmospheric levels less than half a inch above the surface. The hazard is the winter is greater due to the snow acting like a sponge for the gas. However, it is only when digging or otherwise being located below the surface of the snow that any potential hazard exists, such as being in a tree well or depression caused by drifting snow around a building.
@@sonnydayz2118 I don't know if what you have stated is correct. Do you have a source of what the rate and quantity of the gas emissions are currently? An observation, it takes a very small amount of CO2 to carbonate a bottled or canned beverage.
@@wannabetowasabe 300 tons per day.
@@briane173 Data source?
You do realuze the same was said about Mr St Helen. And guess what? It blew and whipped put the whole area. So you never really know. A high risk is nothing to take lightly. Hopefully it will hold off for another 20 or 30 years at least. I will be long gone by then and the kids may have all moved to Texas by then.
Thank you for sharing
God bless
Bring it on.
What about the volcano at clear lake??
What I think would be a great combination,, is being a volcanologist,, and a realtor?! A guy could buy on the cheap and then sell High when the danger goes away? this is the first time I viewed this site so I'm not saying anything,, I just think there's people that would take advantage of that?😮😂
Is this being predicted by the same people predicting global warming?
No, because climate change is an actual, measurable process that's currently ongoing.

Oh, that’s why there is a HAARP facility next to Lone Pine just south east of the caldera, I suppose they are experimenting to see if they can set it off😅! How do I know this, they have a website, Cal Tech is running the facility - it’s not secret at all! 😮
You might enlighten readers and explain what 'HAARP" means.
Lone Pine is not "just south east of the Long Valley Caldera," it is about 80+ miles away.
Perhaps you can enlighten me and tell me where this HAARP sites is located next to Lone Pine. I'm a long term resident of the eastern Sierra and have never heard of a Cal Tech facility in the area. Since you indicated you know of it due to a website, how about posting the link here.

What kind of mess are we in for?
We are limited in our self determinism by all the economic and social restrictions of an aberrated society. We are not free of food, clothing or shelter. We die when we get too cold, we perish when the oxygen content drops too low. We are living in a tolerance band which keeps us cramped to the face of one second-rate planet in a tenth-rate system, prey to all the ill will that blows. Is this being free or self-determined? Maybe we can be good enough to trick or bully our fellows into a security for ourself never before possible. But that is our only real route towards security. We must fight and command for our three squares meals a day, we must use police protection in order to keep ourself free of bullet holes and bumper marks. Compared to a truly self determined being, we are an ant ready to die under anybody’s mis-step. This universe is a rough universe. It is a terrible and deadly universe. Only the strong survive it, only the ruthless can own it. Given one weak spot a human being cannot long endure it for this universe will search it out and enlarge it and fester and probe it until that weak spot is a festering wound so large that the being is engulfed by their own sore. Fighting this battle for survival, and fight it we must, a being in this universe cannot seem to afford decency or charity or ethics; we cannot afford any weakness, any mercy. The moment we do we are lost - for we are surrounded by chilled, coarse rock and molten energy which, no matter our state of mind or our social surroundings, will engulf us instantly if we cease to obey the very least laws of this physical universe. This is a universe of force. It is not a universe of reason. Brutal, unthinking, without
decency or mercy, physical force awaits with punishment any being with any weakness.

Knowledge is power. I just learned about these. Can Any of You answer a question: What caused the Massive Tsunami Waves off CA coasts? Started December 27th & besides Venice Beach, on Up to San Francisco area, massive tsunami waves were Also experienced in NE Australian coasts; B4 the 7.6 earthquake, off the coast of Noto peninsula in Japan on 12/31/23. Wajima City in Ishikawa prefecture was hit by a Tsunami on January 1st, 2024. Obviously All the activities are located in The Ring of Fire. My mind has been trying to make sense. Is the bottom of the Pacific Ocean the source?? Solar flare induced?? Are the Aliens who live in Our Oceans responsible?? I Am Completely Serious About this. I read the previous comments & I can summarize some are curious as I am, in the Actual proven science behind Earth, & the rest of the fascinating Universe. Yet others mock the mere thought.
So if You have a better idea of why these happened at the turn of the Year, PLEASE enlighten Me 😊
