The Recent Megaeruption in California; The Rockland Caldera

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
  • The Lassen Peak volcano in California produced one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the entire Cascade Mountain range of the last 1 million years. This eruption covered nearby areas in as much as 250 feet or 76 meters of ash in a timespan of less than 24 hours. Despite the size of the eruption, its occurrence has been largely hidden by subsequent volcanic activity. So, how long ago did this eruption occur? Why is this apparent volcano no longer visible? This video will answer these two questions and discuss this caldera forming eruption.

    Apart from Mount Saint Helens and the Mono-Inyo volcanic chain, Lassen Peak is one of the most likely volcanoes in the lower 48 US states to produce a VEI 4+ eruption. Although a repeat of its Rockland Caldera forming eruption is highly unlikely, eruptions larger than what occurred in 1914-17 are likely in the future.

    Also, you might note by choice of words. California did produce a larger eruption outside of the Cascade Mountain Range at the Long Valley Supervolcano in the last 1 million years.

    The picture shown at 6 seconds in of the Lassen mushroom cloud is actually a composite of two photos.

As a little kid, that image taught me the importance of knife angle in creating collage art.

    The more you know, the more you don't. I happened upon a rudimentary discussion of the volcanism surrounding Lassen Peak but was never told of the caldera that formed there. Long Valley and Rockland Calderas obviously have no connection, but it's apparent that this 100,000-year-or-so geologic period in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada made it a happenin' place for quite some time. And by geologic standards those two mega-eruptions took place relatively "recently."

    On the drive to Lassen Peak you drive through a vast landscape covered with boulders, a.k.a. lava bombs. These are from Mt. Tehama's lahar, or so the say. You can also see cliffs of ash and lava. I live on the east coast, so this landscape was fascinating to me. The Jumbles at Chaos Crags really gave me the impression of how huge Mt. Lassen's eruption in the early 1900's was.

    The fact that Mt. St.Helens is mentioned so often in this channel gives me a great feeling of nostalgia. When I was a kid (during the mid 2000s), my parents built a small library in my house. One of my favorite books to read was about the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens and the years afterwards. It was such an interesting book, because it showed Mt. St. Helens before the eruption and how peaceful the landscape was. Then you see pictures during the aftermath, and places like Spirit Lake have been incinerated, totally void of life. Could you imagine if a volcano like Mt. Shasta, Three Sisters or Mt. Rainier did that? It’s crazy to think that violent eruptions have taken place in the past, but so much magma hasn’t risen to the surface, how a volcano like St. Helens blew its top off, and what we can expect moving into the future.

    Very Cool video !! Great JOB !! I got to check out Lassen and Shasta back in the 90s - you can feel the "massiveness" when you get up close to Lassen. I never knew why. It just felt WAY different than Shasta and Etna ( even tho Etna was live then, in '88 ) and the small cones in Arizona are no comparison at all. Rolling by Vesuvius on a train, you can feel that power too, now that I mention Etna. I guess I'll have to see if Mammoth and Yellowstone feel that way.

    The whole of Lassen Volcanic Park is a fascinating area to visit. Most who just visit the Lassen Volcanic area have no idea how extent this region is and how far it extends.
    I live fairly close to the Park area ..just a short drive. It is one of my favorite places to visit and hike.
    There are at least 32 known volcano's in the Park region and almost all of them are still alive and well. Some list there being 36 volcanos that extend just south of Lassen Volcano and reach just near the Oregon border and it extends eastward into Nevada and Idaho border regions.
    To really give an idea how powerful the volcanic blasts were that covered the nearby state areas and sent all that ash..
    If you have traveled into and through the upper northern California regions, along highways and other areas you will often see lava rock and boulders that strew the landscapes of open fields that are today generally mostly used for cattle grazing. These areas are from around Yuba County and northward where you'll see most of these boulders and rocks. These were mostly what would be considered lava bombs..or chunks of thick globs of hor lava rock that blew from the Lassen Volcano.
    That is how far away these rocks and boulders we're blown and landed. These rocks and boulders are seen all over the landscape and are still present after these many thousands of years.
    These rocks have been used to help create many of the old land marker and barriers and boundary lines of walls that were built by way Chinese slavery camps back in WWI.
    Don't be misled or fooled at how most of California was built and made to be what it is today.
    One of my favorite volcano's to hike to and visit it Red Cinder Cone. It is found in the devistation region. It is a vast area covered in cinder ash, like pumice. It is like sand, but basically pumice cinder ash. It literally leveled and burned the entire area and killed everything where it landed..and it is many feet thick.. in areas it is like sink holes and drifts that act like quicksand but is just dry pumice cinder ash.
    You can hike up and go into the volcano itself and into the crater to the vent. It is a dead volcano... So there is no fears to worry about anything..just stay on the designated paths.
    If you happen to ever visit the park area..be sure to take your time and stay for several days and try to visit as much of it as possible..hike it, explore it. The vast variety of volcanism that is in that area will amaze you and leave you speachless. It is so beautiful and you can witness what volcanism is truly capable of. It is also very diverse at the different types of volcano's that are all in that region.. it is an area that has just about every type of volcano and possible type that could still erupt all in that one area.
    Lassen did have a small eruption not too long ago. It was just a small blast that erupted and shows it is still very much alive.
    In about 2015, there was a period where the volcano region suddenly heated up and became very active. They closed the park areas off due to dangers to the public. The mud pit regions boiled over and destroyed areas of cat walks and paths designated for the public to view the area. I was there when they closed the park off.. escorted people out.
    There is a main mud put that you can drive past and is right along the highway there. It boiled over onto the road and was hot enough to cause damage to the road and highway ..to see art melting the pavement in spots.
    There are frequent minor tremors and microquakes at Lassen all the time.
    If your lucky enough while hiking Lassen to the peak.. which is a easy hike. You may experience one big enough to cause the dirt and materials to slightly shift and stir up .. which in my view was pretty awesome.. because it sends that reminder it is still alive and active. It never really is big enough to feel..just enough maybe to see the slight rumble or vibration.
    Lassen Volcanic Park has a vast history and I imagine this guy could do a many mini part series for several weeks covering all the volcanos that are still active and alive and then another on all the dead vents and cones and such in the region.
    You can also go see thermal pools and sulfur areas and there are even a few locations of natural hot bath/hot springs areas and resorts . There are also old lava caves and lava tubes you can visit and hike into and explore.

    Hey guys, I lived in the area near Lassen for almost 10 years and have been to Lassen itself a couple times (the Devastation Zone, Manzanita Lake, Hot Rock, Bumpass Hell, etc.). Most of the time, me and my family lived in or near Redding - the largest city west of Lassen. When my dad was doing botanical fieldwork in the Clear Creek area on the west side of Redding, he saw old ash beds that were many feet thick. It made me wonder for years what volcano had produced them as - even though you can see several volcanoes from Redding - we were still pretty far away for there to be such thick ash beds. But it seems like this eruption may have been the source. It is crazy to think about places where I lived having been, at one point in time, buried under pyroclastic flows and/or ash fall to such a severe extent. And I wonder how many people in far northern California realize there is such immense eruptive capacity up there.

    Can you do bit on the New Madrid seismic zone? I'm from the Mid West, Michigan to be exact. I remember waking up in the middle of the nite 15 or so years ago because there was a magnitude 4.0 somewhere south of where I lived. It was weird, I could feel my whole apartment swaying back and forth. People don't associate earthquakes and the Mid West but from what I gather they used to be very violent and caused the Mississippi to change it directional flow at one time.

    @johnnyblade4351 2 года назад +3

    Great channel ... I am amazed by how much volcanic activity is just ongoing all over the world all of the time. Something is brewing but maybe these eruptions in different places alleviate a castrophic event, Like Krakatoa. Along with the shift in tectonic plates which is also part of the equation. And alot of parts of the world seem to be long overdue for something really bad to happen and cause mass devastation. When people speak of millions of years thousands of years and on earth as earthlings we live a max of 100 years. The time concept is just meaningless. Like a light year is a very long way if ya had to walk it ?

    • @Vulcano7965
      @Vulcano7965 2 года назад +3

      There is no "shift" in tectonic plates. Whatever that means.
      There are 40-60 eruptions going on at any moment, we just got better over the years detecting them. Even in remote areas. That's why for some people it might appear that activity is increasing somehow. But it's really not. Each volcano has its own behavior and only in rare cases do they influence each other - mostly when they are in very close proxmity and share the same magma chamber.

    I have been very interested in volcanoes since I spent several US Navy Reserve deployments to the Western Pacific. My navagator, Lt. Cdr. Dan Lynch was a vulcanologist in civilian life. We have seen volcano's in Alaska, Japan, the Philippines and in the northern Mariana Islands. The northern most island of this group is Faralon de Paharos. A volcano that first broke the surface just after world war two. On the way up there we flew over several volcano formed islands including Guam, Tinian, and Saipan. One of the islands way up the chain is a small three island group called Maug. The three islands form a sort of triangle and are all that is left of a single island that exploded and the islands are the remains of a collapsed caldera. I still have pictures of it and several others.

    Such an interesting subject, as I live in Klamath Falls, which is surrounded by volcanoes!
    Thank you for all this rich information you share!
    As a side note, I have lived here in Klamath Falls for 5 years and the last 2 years, the streets I walk with my dog are cracking a lot. I mean, there are cracks forming and some that were already there, are widening. Even my mom who has dementia pointed that detail out to me. Then of late, my dog has been sniffing those cracks with an interest. My driveway is cracking as well as my neighbors'. Could there be some sort of uplift here from a nearby volcano such as Crater Lake, Newberry or another volcano?
    Thank you for your hard work?🇺🇲❤️

    I am interested in the fault line from the Solomon Islands down the eastern seaboard of the Australian State of Queensland. It roughly intersects with the land mass just north of Brisbane (forming the famous glasshouse mountains), and extends down into New South Wales where a major ancient volcanic cone & rim is formed around Mt Warning. I also wonder whether Mt Warning was a mere satellite to a larger caldera centred just west of Brisbane with a crater rim identifiable from Toowoomba in the west down south to the NSW Border Ranges. Can you do a piece on this if you have the time and materials? Thanks in advance.

      Maybe, maybe not.. Lassen is right near the southern end of the Cascadian subduction zone. South of that point there’s a lack of subducting oceanic crust that feeds volcano formation. That’s why all the active volcanos are Northern CA, OR, and WA. But I could be wrong, I’m just an amateur.
