Nick Zentner of Central Washington University is about to kick off this years A-Z series themed on the cascade arc of Washington State. Should be lots of great info on the history of the cascades
Thanks as always, Geology Hub! Mount Adams is a very cool volcano. Its outward appearance is very dominant over the landscape, coupled with its very large volume and size. I hope that lahar that potentially reached the Columbia River can be further investigated, to determine whether it actually reached the Columbia river.
Many of the Cascade volcanoes are long period volcanoes that go hundreds of years, and even well over 1000 years, between eruptive periods. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Mt. Adams may soon begin a new eruptive period in the coming years, given the long period nature of many of the Cascade Mountains volcanoes.
Woot! Climbed it! Fun Adams trivia: There used to be a mule pack road on the south side of the mountain to the summit, where they mined sulphur. Climbing the mountain was just a morning commute.
It must be mentioned the entire eastern half of Mt Adams is Yakama Nation land and requires permission to enter. I think there are certain periods in the summer when it is accesable by the public. Check ahead it's a wicked drive to get turned around on.
Whenever I think of St. Helens or Adams or Yellowstone or any of the other volcanoes on the continent, I can't help but remember Rick Santorum scoffing at "volcano monitoring".
The southwest chutes of Mt. Adams were some sweet snowboarding - 4000 vertical in just one pitch - 10 big turns, riding through dry, shattering bubble-less ice, corn snow, then warm slush within 1 minute. Loved living on Mt. Hood, but always pictured the inevitable hundreds of feet thick lahar steamrolling through my place... I often pictured the looks on the faces of Lewis and Clark when they saw the aftermath of the last eruption. "I think something big happened here" or something along those lines. Always a pleasure to watch your stuff - thank you!
I picked a shyt ton of them near there, and then afterward I saw a sign mentioning an agreement with Native Americans about where and when I could pick them. I was picking out of season.
@@chewitt1227 This is true, that pyroclastic flow footage is some of the best I've ever seen. Though I wouldn't call St. Helens and Adams *that* similar because St. Helens is much younger and more explosive (being largely dacitic) whereas Adams is much older, much larger, and much less explosive (being largely andesitic). Also Adams tends to erupt from its flanks now whereas St. Helens tends to erupt from its central vent.
He's a serial clip re-user. It gives a good idea what he's talking about when he does daily videos and finding relevant clips that aren't copyrighted is difficult. I'm pretty sure he has some kind of folder of 'ok to use' clips that he can reference without much trouble.
@@Glaudge Yes, he has said that finding non-copyright clips is difficult. Though GH, if you can vary them a bit that would be good, some of them are becoming seriously over-familiar.
@geologyhub... Thanks for the video. I've read that Mt. Adams is 75% of the volume of Mt. Rainier, they're virtual visual twins. Is it possible that the earthquakes being generated could be from glacial rebound?
All 5 WA volcanoes have active steam vents. I've climbed them all and seen them myself. There is even a lake in the crater on the summit of Rainier- UNDER the ice. The highest lake in America. Very, very few people have been to it, but it's there. You have to climb the mountain, then spelunk the steam caves, which are warm and wet. If you don't have a change of dry clothes waiting when you exit the steam caves you freeze and die of exposure on the summit.
Most of the Cascade volcanoes are less than 2 million years old. There are a few mountain remnants of earlier volcanoes in that arc mainly to the east but have long since eroded and those are less than 67 million years old.
@@hestheMaster thank you for the science, but I actually did know that information. I was trying to be funny, referencing the disclaimer that was on the screen, you know, using stock footage as the last time Adams had lava flows was 1,000 years ago.
GH - fyi - first syllable of Shasta rhymes with ‘have’ (it’s not a short o sound like ‘hot’) The last Adams eruption was in 950 - so how is there a lahar deposit from 1700? If it’s not related to an eruption, isn’t it just a landslide? Did not realize Adams has been so active in the Holo - it seems so sleepy…
Day 21 of requesting The Meers fault in Oklahoma and talk about other intraplate faults and how large earthquakes can hit away from plate boundaries Also I think it's interesting how there are now more earthquakes under the mountain
Often you show us offset cones are result of new cones that form after a caldera collapse when the current edifices aligning with the caldera's rim and not the original chamber. Was the a pre-Mount-Adams caldera collapse that was centered on the magma chamber?
Bummer to hear Yakuza Ghost Kitchen closed in PDX; I thought they had the best burger I ever had. At least Ground Kontrol is still open and they still have the best Food Carts in the world.
That varies from volcano to volcano. But the ugly truth is that European colonialism played a great part in the modern names of many volcanoes, as white explorers put their own names on what they found without regard for native names. In the case of Mount Adams, it was named for US President John Adams, but natives called it Pahto, Paddo, or Klickitat.
@@nortyfiner Thanks for your anti- European racism. It's not an ugly truth that Europeans were the first ones to write the names down, so they stuck. It's just a historical truth. There is nothing inherently ugly about bringing civilization to neolithic peoples.
Underground magma chambers increasing hotter volume of magma into them. The pressure increases and causes small earthquakes from the solidified areas around them. This happens in the Yellowstone caldera too.
I'm pretty sure my dog has a volcano on his butt because he erupts toxic gas randomly that brings tears to my eyes and makes the paint melt off the walls 😊
So what is wrong with his listing of dates, and why does that fatally undermine his clearly very considerable knowledge of vulcanology - most of us are not perfect in every way?
@@davidcranstone9044 As noted "in my opinion." Time is, and has been marked BC and AD. Once again, in my opinion I am not a fan of anybody changing history to suite their interests.
@@buitlbybear1580Ah, so what is primarily a scientific channel loses all credibility in your opinion because it uses what has been the universal scientific convention for dates for I think at least 20 years now? Btw if RUclips comments wasn't such a glitchy function I would have checked my facts while writing that, as basic good science practice. But it is, and I can't face starting again if I do get glitched out while checking.
@@davidcranstone9044 well yeah 20 years ... BC/AD around 2000 years. In my opinion using the ce/bec is an attempt to erase what has been known to be the most important person that has ever lived from history. So, tell me why I ought to put any stock in anything he has to say about anything. Also, you may want to explain to me what significant event occurred to divide ce/bce.

LOVE NICK ZENTNER's teaching style and PBS' 'Nick on the Rocks'. Have been a fan of hs online classes since 2020 and the Backyard series. 😊
Love Nick!
Dude, Nick is great - especially when he cracks open a bottle of wine and talks to the Internet.
@@OkieJammer2736 same here. I work at Mt St Helens and we’ve been in contact with him. Hoping to host something next summer!
I see him all the time when I deliver food to Campus.

‘Long period’ = boring
@@swainscheps better since I could see their peak before collapsing
@@curious5887 St. Helens was once a very nice looking mountain.
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
Woot! Climbed it!

Thank you for all these videos, I love volcanoes and I love seeing what is coming, you are doing great work by keeping up updated

I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos. Lots of interesting information!!! Thank you GH!!

I've been to the summit of Mt. Adams (and Mount Rainier). They're both stunning, though a tad breezy.
Thank you!🌋

The slopes of Mount Adams has some of the best huckleberry picking spots in the entire state of Washington!
I picked a shyt ton of them near there, and then afterward I saw a sign mentioning an agreement with Native Americans about where and when I could pick them. I was picking out of season.
You just love that one clip of St. Helens, don’t you? 😂
It is some of the best footage of a pyroclastic flow, and Mount Saint Helens and Mount Adams are both very similar volcanoes.
@@chewitt1227 This is true, that pyroclastic flow footage is some of the best I've ever seen.

It's probably hard to get drone footage of Helens. Isn't it a national park?
@@Glaudge Yes, he has said that finding non-copyright clips is difficult. Though GH, if you can vary them a bit that would be good, some of them are becoming seriously over-familiar.
Thank you for the interesting video 😊👍🌋🍀
It has so much more holocene eruptions than the Glacier Peak volcano, which only has several eruptions.
Always fascinating are the immense time spans in which these monsters "live".
Interesting,as my house is in the path if the big one comes in our lifetime. Beautiful area to explore all the geology !
I LIVED ON THE KLICKITAT RIVER FISH HATCHERY AT GLENWOOD
That layer from the lahar from Mt Adam's 😳
@geologyhub... Thanks for the video. I've read that Mt. Adams is 75% of the volume of Mt. Rainier, they're virtual visual twins. Is it possible that the earthquakes being generated could be from glacial rebound?
How interesting.
What about Mt. Baker, just south of the Canadian border in Washington state, it has an active steam vent as I remember
Yes Baker is active not doormat
All 5 WA volcanoes have active steam vents. I've climbed them all and seen them myself. There is even a lake in the crater on the summit of Rainier- UNDER the ice. The highest lake in America. Very, very few people have been to it, but it's there. You have to climb the mountain, then spelunk the steam caves, which are warm and wet.

@@davidcooke8005 though not in Washington State , another active Volcano is Mt Garibaldi Past Vancouver BC on the way to Whistler at Squamish BC
I LOVE the disclaimer about the lava photo NOT being from Adams. Next time I want a color photo of Adams or Rainier complete with dinosaurs!!
Most of the Cascade volcanoes are less than 2 million years old. There are a few mountain remnants of earlier volcanoes in that arc mainly to the east but have long since eroded and those are less than 67 million years old.

How explosive is glacier peak apart from the lahar risk due to the glaciers melting.?
Thanks.
I live in NE Portland and can see both St Helens and Mt Adams from the 2nd floor.
I didn't realize how many active volcanoes there are uncomfortably close to my home... Uhhhh
When I moved to Trout Lake in 1970, Mt Adams was the only Cascade volcano labeled as dead, rather that dormant. Live and learn.
Day 21 of requesting
The Meers fault in Oklahoma and talk about other intraplate faults and how large earthquakes can hit away from plate boundaries
Also I think it's interesting how there are now more earthquakes under the mountain
Is there any connection between PNW volcanoes and subduction earthquakes.
Often you show us offset cones are result of new cones that form after a caldera collapse when the current edifices aligning with the caldera's rim and not the original chamber. Was the a pre-Mount-Adams caldera collapse that was centered on the magma chamber?
Bummer to hear Yakuza Ghost Kitchen closed in PDX; I thought they had the best burger I ever had. At least Ground Kontrol is still open and they still have the best Food Carts in the world.
You can see Rainier from Portland as well
As long as you don't live in the state you should be fine.
Would you say Adam’s is in its later stage of life?
How do volcanoes get there named?
That varies from volcano to volcano. But the ugly truth is that European colonialism played a great part in the modern names of many volcanoes, as white explorers put their own names on what they found without regard for native names. In the case of Mount Adams, it was named for US President John Adams, but natives called it Pahto, Paddo, or Klickitat.
Well alrighty then.

As the south western side is weak does that mean Mt Adams will do a Mt St Helens style eruption
I was just at Mt. Adams a few weeks ago. I can't believe how close some people live to that thing! That's just tempting fate.
Not really, it's just happenstance. There are thousands of ways those people are more likely to meet their fate than a volcano
" Pahto"
Isn’t Mt. Rainier the second largest volcano after Shasta?
Adams is wider across the base. Rainier is taller, but Adams has more volume.
Woohoo! I don't live atop the magma chamber and am just out of range of potential lahars.
😃🗻🌋
There is a fault line going across mt adams.
What is CE ? AD or BC ? Why did they change those ?
Because most of the world ain't Christians
It’s actually the second tallest volcano
It's not
In the cascades it is
@@eugeneroberts6617- Ranier and Shasta are both taller.
Adams is very _massive_ -- but not the second _tallest_ volcano in the Cascade Arc.
too bad ...
I have gas emissions after eating pastrami 😛
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't know the cause of earthquakes... they are when the ground wobbles
Underground magma chambers increasing hotter volume of magma into them. The pressure increases and
causes small earthquakes from the solidified areas around them. This happens in the Yellowstone caldera too.
I'm pretty sure my dog has a volcano on his butt because he erupts toxic gas randomly that brings tears to my eyes and makes the paint melt off the walls 😊
