Supervolcanoes are bigger than you think, and there are more of them than you think. There are, in fact, eight supervolcanoes around the world that have changed the geography of continents and caused mass extinctions. What are these volcanoes? What causes them, and most importantly, could we survive one?
Today we take a deep dive into one of the most destructive forces on the planet. And if you think that supervolcanoes have been over-hyped... trust me, they haven't.

Have you been to Yellowstone? If not then you should go before its too late. It will be a high point in your life as it is like nothing you will see again. Just knowing it could erupt at any moment heightens your senses and seeing things like steam shooting out of a crack in the middle of an asphalt parking lot really brings the message home. You are walking on the thin crust of a massive sea of molten lava. Some entire loops and geyser areas have to be closed because the roads have melted and new geysers are spewing from the middle of the road or right on the side painted line.

3:13>> Yes, megameter [Mm] is technically a thing. It's perfectly correct to say that the circumference of the Earth is about 40Mm, or that the average distance to the Sun is about 149.6Gm, or that Proxima Centauri is 40 petameters and 208 terameters or 40,208Pm away. Just a little correction though, you seem to have forgotten about the cube factor, a Mm³ is 1'000'000'000 Km³.
@user-lv7ph7hs7l 2 роки тому
The most common one is just m. For example 1 km = 1 x 10^3 m and so until it makes sense to use Parsecs. I saw that a lot. Same with mm. 1 mm would usually be expressed as 1 x 10^-3 m. Little silly for mm but for nanometers and so on it's way easier then remembering the term.

I remember watching a 3-part miniseries about a fictional eruption at Yellowstone. I can't remember the name of it but it was low budget for the time although it was well enough done that it absolutely terrified me. You could more than likely say goodbye to the continental United States if a major event ever occurred. It was a nice touch in the show after an eruption event survivors were flooding to the Mexico border while Meican government officials were trying to stop them. The irony there is astounding but nonetheless truthful. It would happen.

Excellent video! So much great info, so well explained! A couple of minor clarifications* from a volcanologist: -4:51 Most on-land volcanoes form at plate boundaries due to subduction of a plate beneath another (which release water into the mantle= melts the mantle=magma) not at "cracks where plates are pulling apart" -6:37- melted rock inside the Earth is "magma" not "lava" -6:42: most of the gasses that make the volcano "go boom" aren't from "melting the rock beneath [the volcano]" they are inherited from the mantle (and concentrated during crystallization or recharged by new magma) -6:50- the picture shown is of mantle plume upwelling, and is unrelated to "magma chambers" -7:13 The picture shown while talking about the Huckleberry ridge eruption of Yellowstone is of Mt. Rainier in Washington, which is unrelated -7:46- I don't know why there is a video of a forest on fire. The forest around Pinatubo was destroyed by ash and pyroclastic flows there was no ignition of trees like you see being burned by mafic lava flows (e.g. Hawaii, La Palma) -9:46- Pronounced "Tao-poh" **Again, I want to stress that these are very minor and everything else in the video was awesome and factually correct!🤓

Awesome video (as always!), but small clarification at 5:04 in case any geology students are watching: Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are the enormous deposits of igneous rock that can form when lava erupts from a hotspot-- not synonymous with the hotspot itself. LIPs are usually flood basalts, like the Siberian Traps mentioned later in the video. On another note, I am 6 years into my studies as a geologist and I cannot believe I only just learned that the word felsic comes from mashing the words feldspar and silicon together. Mind blown.

The vast majority of us would have a great deal of difficulty trying to imagine that sort of distance anyway. If I had to explain that distance, for I have travelled multiple Megameters in a single sitting and it is not fun, the easiest way I can come to is to convert that distance into time. It is just easier for someone to imagine travelling at a constant but graspable speed for hours, then it is to imagine the distance crossed as one lump amount.... As our ground vehicle travel at an average-ish speed of around 1 Kilometer a Minute, this is likely why it is easier to imagine.

I highly recommend going to Lassen National Park. You can get a good view of just how massive it's eruption was because pretty much the whole entire park is just the caldera left behind from one eruption. You can stand in one spot and be like "wow there used to be a very huge mountain right here and now there's just a crater filled with boiling mud pots of death.

"And it blew up with the force of about a hundred atomic bombs." That sounds a little small - like a couple orders of magnitude small. Krakatoa is generally estimated to have exploded with the force of ~10,000-13,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs (15kt yield). If Thera was 4-5x larger explosion, it would be in the ~40,000-70,000 HAB range. Now, if you are talking about multi-megaton yield fusion bombs, then a hundred bombs is more reasonable. And if you are talking about Tsar bomba (50Mt), then 10-15 is probably a reasonable estimate.

This is the most optimistic video about a super eruption. You forgot to mention that the ash falling into water systems would make it toxic almost immediately, killing most marine life, likewise the land would also become toxic to most plants.. So, if you were lucky to have drinkable water, you'd still die of hunger (also, pollinators would be wiped out) and diseases (probably new viruses and strains of bacteria) The effect would be worldwide: I read somewhere that up to 1 it 2 thirds of humanity could be wiped out in a few years. Due to direct and indirect effects (including wars). Scientists also say that Yellowstone eruption is overdue, according to calculations based on previous eruptions. But while it could in theory erupt at any time, scientists are getting better at detecting warning signs.

My favorite super volcano eruption demonstration used a Flask with Pine resin inside. This was pressurized. The sudden release of that pressure shows the pine resin nearly instantly flashing to vapor and foam. It's an amazing visual. I never been able to find a copy on youtube though. If anyone can find it I'd love to see it again.

@@fexdammit This is the way I see it: As it's a Maori name, I would define 'correctly' as the name's origin. Unlike loan words such as those with French, Greek or Latin roots, for example, in which we've adopted into English , Taupo is not a loan word, it's a Maori name so it should be pronounced as above. Saying that, if Maori are okay with it - some are, some aren't - then say it however you like. I personally see it as a sign on respect to the culture and people, so I say it the way it's 'meant' to be said.

Awesome video Joe. Did you realise that the Lake Taupo, NZ volcano has multiple vents all of which have blown up with multiple eruptions. This is possibly why the scientist think it hasn't had a super eruption for so long. I was always taught that all volcanoes that vent with small eruptions that release the pressure in turn lower the chance for a super eruptions. Keep making awesome videos one day I believe you will be able to make it to space for reasonable amounts of money. Take care and have a great day. Tony

This is a really great episode. It subject matter, while scary, is so well presented that I have saved this one in my favorites folder. Joe, your presentation style is so engaging I couldn't help laughing in spite of the seriousness of the information. Also, I'm not too old (yet) to learn new things and so have added 'borked' to my personal lexicon. Also, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket filled with super volcanoes." Those are sage words, indeed. In fact, something similar was found scrawled on the wall of the Queen's Megaron in the Palace of Knossos. There might have been more to the message, but the last letter trails off in a manner suggesting that this was a message of the 'late' Minoan period.
