Why China's Largest Volcano Is So Unusual

3 роки тому

Mount Paektu (also known as Changbai Mountain) is one of the largest volcanoes on earth and yet, for the longest time, nobody could explain where it came from or why it exists. Here we will discuss why this volcano is so unusual and how the geological mystery surrounding it could eventually be solved.

Since this video is somewhat going viral currently (at least by my measures) I want to take the time to thank everyone who has watched and or subscribed - I really appreciate it. That it only took two videos to get this channel going is really nice to see and exciting. Also thanks for all the lovely comments. Please be assured that I read them all, although I can’t possibly answer all of you. There is only so many times I can say "thanks" or "thank you" before it starts to feel silly ; )

The graphics are extremely high quality feels like this commissioned documentary from National Geographic

I’m a professional O&G geoscientist, employed at a famous IOC - this is my first UKposts comment: EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO!!!

@aa-mb6rs

Fun fact: Mt. Baekdu is mentioned in both South and North Korea’s anthems

as someone who studies geology, I can say this is very thorough and very clear. really well taught.

This was the first video I made for this channel - although it’s now released as the second one. It probably wasn’t wise to tackle so a complex and long topic before I even knew what visual style I was going for as it meant I had to start over multiple times during the animation/editing process because I wasn’t happy with how the video looked - but in the end it turned out pretty nice I think. I'm still not 100% happy but at some point I just have to let it go and focus on new projects. Hope you enjoy it.

I wasn't expecting to watch a nearly 30 minutes documentary on youtube. Yet here I am because of the marvelous illustration and narration.

What I found the most interesting in this video is that the rock in the mantle has water deposits in it, as I have largely believed that anything below the crust is just hot semi-molten rock that circulates. I know classes are usually just generalizations of what actually takes place but it's always interesting to break those generalizations with new information

As a high-school dropout who loves geology, this was such an amazingly informative video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm going to watch all of your videos.

I am a geologist for 30 years. This is the best video on the subject I have ever seen. Nice work.

@laichungnelson 3 роки тому

I'm not a domain expert in this field. However, I do have a PhD in chemical physics and I dare say that this is one of the most informative and high quality videos I have seen so far on UKposts. Excellent work!

Wow, this is science communication at it's finest! Having a science background myself it's notable to see just how many geologists & other science nerds are going to the effort of commenting on your videos about the excellent presentation of complex concepts.... absolutely adore the visuals 👍 I'm particularly struck by the subtle underlying analogy with the concept of scientific study as a whole, and how it differs greatly from the public's misconception of a 'definitive, divisive & exclusive domain of intellectuals'.... how science is actually a constant & never-ending cycle of learning... we don't talk about 'proof' or 'right/wrong', just more nuanced 'evidence' that steers us in new directions & add to the collective knowledge.... how two different theories (like layered VS whole mantle convection models) can

I'm just an armchair browser and I've watched many geologic presentations, this was the most interesting, topic and explanation, you really did your homework on this, it's a gem.

@attemptsatflight2121 3 роки тому

What an incredibly underrated channel. This is without any exaggeration, some of the highest quality content on UKposts

@kubamateusiak7724 3 роки тому

For all of UKposts’s flaws, the fact that gems like this can still get made and achieve deserved success makes me really happy and hopeful for the future of this platform. AMAZING channel in the making here, keep doing this man.

i am a science communicator with a deep private interest in geology and volcanoes and while i can't comment on the science, this video is a brilliant example of how science ought to be presented---not merely to 'popularize' it but to do justice to the subject matter in a way that respects both the researcher and the curious person. thank you.

As a man who was born and lived in Northeast China for 25 years but never found a chance to visit the Changbai Mount, I truely appreciate this video for its profession, clarity, astonishing visualization and a new perspective to know about the place i grew up.Though it may will take me a couple of more times of watching to fully understand the terminology and concepts mentioned in the video, it is worth watching hundreds of times.
