    Great video, but there is a small mistake. When you are talking about the age of the Hawaiian islands, the main island is the youngest of the chain, while the smaller islands are older. Without a constant influx of magma to combat the weathering and erosional forces of the ocean, these volcanic islands become smaller

    So, you made a pretty big error when talking about the Hawaiian islands... you got the plate direction right, (roughly northwest) but the labels indicating the islands' ages are incorrect. The newest island is Hawai'i and it is the largest because less of it has eroded over time, and the oldest in the windward chain is Kauai'i which is much smaller because it has been so eroded over the millennia.
    The age labels would make sense if the arrow showing direction showed movement of the hotspot itself, not the plate upon which the islands sit.
    Otherwise, really cool video that seems fairly accurate to my layperson ears.

    While it may be true that the Oceanic subduction zones are generally more mafic than the continental ones, it cannot be concluded that they are more effusive. The Aleutian chain is a good example, with most of them sleeping.
    An even better example is the Carribean chain, with Soufrière Hills, Pelée, St-Vincent and others.

    so, if I'm getting this correctly...
    tungsten (the metal with the highest melting point) treats anything else alloyed with it as a contaminant, and won't form a stable lattice structure with it, hence you can't increase its melting point.

    Enjoyed your video very much..always wondered what was responsible for differences in magma.
    However, @ 8:24 you said that erupted material "reduces solar insulation and subsequently cools the entire planet"... Not sure what that means. Perhaps I am misinterpreting "solar insulation"? The expression seems counter-intuitive...maybe I am misunderstanding "solar insulation"?...don't the volcanic particles suspended high in the atmosphere insulate the Earth from solar heating, (?increase the Earth's insulation from solar eminations?) thereby creating a cooler planet?

    • @khubaib-binehsan
      @khubaib-binehsan 3 года назад

      Maybe there's a caveat here or maybe simply there's an error at his end. Need to look more into that. Maybe a technical person can tell more about that. But I wouldn't discard the former possibility because atmosphere is a complex entity. Like you can imagine instead of mercury, venus is our solar system's hottest planet due to the chemistry in its atmosphere.

    • @SophieBeer
      @SophieBeer Год назад

      he is correct, the particles emitted from a volcano essentially block out sunlight and therefore cool the planet as solar heat cant penetrate through the dust clouds volcanos emit. the change in climate effects the globe by a few degrees and as we found a few years ago as mentioned can disrupt food supplies as well, if the dust cloud is big enough.
      what he's saying is if a super volcano like Yellowstone was to explode, the dust cloud from the volcano would cause a mass extinction event similar to the dinosaurs as we wouldn't be able to get enough sunlight and the gasses from the volcano would likely choke us to death, if starvation doesn't first.
      Also a note to point as well, the dust clouds not only would not let sunlight in, but also wouldn't let our own greenhouse gasses out, therefore mixing with the dust clouds in our atmosphere creating acid rain.
      the science behind volcanos are both fascinating and terrifying and definitely worth doing more research into.

    Sooo the mantle is “technically not a liquid” meaning it acts like a liquid because it’s molten rock… high temp & high pressure melts the rock.
    The mantle is essence is everywhere underneath us right? Geography class taught me plate tectonics/crust moving over mantle flows…
