I really enjoy your channel content. It's great to learn about the earth's volcanoes and earthquakes. You do a good job of giving educational information in an enjoyable way. Thanks! 😊
You should look into the small volcanic arc on Borneo in the region of the Tawau hills. It has some of the tallest tropical trees on earth, likely due to the rich volcanic soil combined with the mild equatorial Bornean climate. There's only one volcano which isn't extinct, and the arc looks extremely small, not to mention that it doesn't even look like there's any subduction nearby (maybe the remnants of previous subduction still producing volcanism like Ciomadul?). It would be a fascinating topic and there's little info out there.
Interesting it seems Borneo underwent slab failure events in the Miocene which means yeah it seems there are no longer any subducting slabs as the subduction zone has been closed I wonder what is feeding that lone volcano?
I remember reading about Bawean on Volcao Cafe. Scars left by subduction zones are very fascinating, especially since the area between Indonesia and Australia has very complex tectonics, with so many microplates and subduction zones!
I am constantly amazed at what you have been able to learn about volcanoes etc and to be able to impart your knowledge to your viewers. It's truly fantastic stuff for those who are interested and want to know more about the formation of this planet. Btw you mentioned Taal Volcano recently. My filipina wife just told me yesterday that her filipina gf just took a bangka (filopino wooden boat with bamboo outriggers) ride on the huge caldera lake around the island where the 2020 eruption took place, which we were able to climb up in 2017 before said eruption and to admire the lake inside the crater and the island in the lake, all surrounded by lush verdant tropical jungle. I have been back there in 2022 and certainly saw the island still covered in ash from the caldera rim. Are you able to give a more in depth overview of this volcano as well as the Laguna volcanic complex as it seems that there must have been some super volcanic eruptions occurring there in the past. Thank you for your continuous work on educating us.
I was there, at bawean island when the eq struck. It first mag 6.0 struck at around 11 am and i didn't even realize it bc i'm still playing game. There's a lot of aftershock and i was thinking that the eq has alreadg over since i thought that the mag 6.0 was the main eq followed by aftershock. But then at around 3.40 pm an even larger eq struck my friend's house (mag 6.5). It was very strong and even caused some building to collapse. Glad that there's no tsunami. But i still wondering why all the eq occured at very shallow depht (12 - 8km). Somebody can explain this?
Succinct, informative, and interesting, as usual. While I was aware that Java is one of the most densely inhabited places on Earth, I did not realize that it was home to more humans than all of Russia, for example. There was, however, one small error when you said "caused a phenomena" @ 0:36. 'Phenomena' is plural; you should have said 'phenomenon' when speaking of one event or appearance. I don't know how you keep cranking these excellent videos out with such frequency. Thank you.
Maybe next Extinct Supervulcano on Java Island or oil and gas drilling incident that caused the largest mud volcano on earth - the largest contributor to methane gas emissions on earth.
It is Moment Magnitude not Richter scale the Richter scale was retired more than 50 years ago and was only ever applicable to a small area of southern California where the scale was calibrated. Why do people keep mis-referencing moment magnitude measurements with this long dead artifact of history that hasn't been in use since the boomer generation? Unless a quake magnitude was from the Los Angeles are of Southern California before the 1970's it is and always has been the Moment Magnitude scale not Richter scale.
Was seeing something happen in Taiwan. Any confirmations? (Edit) It is a 7.5 magnitude earthquake around Taiwan. Buildings damaged and collapsed. Tsunami warnings for Japan were issued, not sure about specifics.
PS again would you look into our Mt. Konocti. Here in Norcal... between the rows of dead trees, the steam when it rains, the cracks in my walls and one of the largest magma pockets on the planet, that is riddled with femuralls wholes (hardly any earth quakes). And yes we have a thermal power plant.... please......
There is more past and present volcanic activity in California than people know. Part of the Oakland/Berkeley hills was formed by volcanic activity, as was Mt. Diablo. We live in Tuolumne County part of the time, about 75 miles west of the Long Valley Caldera, which is 20x10 miles in size. It has risen 2.5 ft. in some places since 1980, due to magma pushing up from below. If that caldera erupts the way it did hundreds of thousands of years ago, our house here will likely be buried in ash. Our other home near Gardnerville NV is about 90 miles north, so that will likely be buried too. It all depends on where the jet stream is located whenever it erupts, which could be 10 years from now, or 100,000 years.
That probably depends on a lot of factors for one the Altiplano-Puna magma body if I remember correctly appears to be in a state of recharge so you probably need the supply of fresh hot magma to cut off then the millions of years of cooling to occur without further recharge events which have been feeding activity there since the Miocene.
Curious about this myself not sure what fault exactly but given what I could find about the tectonics of Taiwan from the literature in the last half a million years the region has started to undergo some of the fastest sustained annual uplift rates documented on Earth around 9 to 14 mm/yr due to a transpressional collision strain so there are good odds between the magnitude and the tectonic setting that we are either dealing with a thrust fault or some other kind of fault transferring the strain for ongoing thrust belt mountain formation as the crust from a volcanic arc collides with the Yangtzee plate. This includes the rising mountains but also the forming of an adjacent depression due to the rising mountains which when factoring in that this mountain building event has a translational component means there is some serious Earthquake hazard risks here.
Wait until you learn about the nearly *2 BILLION* year old subduction zone responsible for the Jemez Lineament volcanoes, or the Central African Shear Zone which is roughly 600 million years old and has had volcanoes for over 100 million years. Sometimes very old structures have very modern impacts!
@@billmiller4972 To be fair though that's not causing any modern effects really, its kind of just... there If you want to go for static landscapes there's always the over 3 billion year old Makhonjwa mountains
Broooo the Poás volcano just started a more violent eruption cycle, are you going to cover it on a vid? pls do it, for me? nahh jk, I'm from Costa Rica btw.
Can you comment on ocean warming? How much from above and how much from subsea volcanic activity? The climate scientists say nothing about hot springs, smokers, magma intrusions or any factor for warming sea temps. I get the idea from the news that it's all caused by my lawnmower.
The planet has been on a natural warming trend for hundred of years. Over the last 11000 years the climate has fluctuated multiple times by multiple degrees. Have we accelerated the process by a few % yes. However it would still be warming regardless of us. And it will cool back down again regardless of us as well. A runaway climate effect that isnt reverseable is impossible. Even when the entire planet was covered in ice it still melted.
@@SinnerChrono It's more than a few percent. The planet should actually be cooling again right now on one of those long term cycles, if it were not for the influence of human-released greenhouse gasses. So you're wrong, it will not cool back down regardless of us or it would be doing that literally right now.
All that volcanism, terrestrial and submarine, has been going on for a very long time, but human activity significantly raising CO2 levels has increased drastically over the past 200 years.
@@scrappydoo7887 That's just simply not true. Antarctica as a whole has lost 3 trillion tons of glacial ice in the last 30 years. This is in spite of the fact that conservatives love to latch onto how some local areas of East Antarctica have gained small amounts of ice, but even that trend is starting to reverse. If you look at the *arctic*, Greenland is getting hit much harder - it has lost 6 trillion tons of glacial ice, and permanent sea ice in the Arctic ocean (defined as pack ice over 4 years old) has gone from covering almost 30% of the Arctic Ocean in 1990 to just 4% last year. My source is NASA, btw. All of this data is public. Contrary to your conspiracy theories, none of this data or the procedures used to collect it, the procedures used to detect and remove errors from data sets, or the conclusions drawn from it are being hidden. It's all out there in free public access, and you can go read it right now, you can spend literally months reading all day long if you choose to, few things in the world are better documented than climate change and its impacts. You won't go read any of it. I know you won't. People like you never do. You'll instead pull up a Totally Legitimate article from your favorite right wing website, and because they could find and pay off a handful of scientists without morals to write a paper that gets shredded in peer review for its bad conclusions and bad methodology, in your sad mind it will mean the over a century of science on this done by tens of thousands of climate scientists is wrong.
Sir some people of science believe when the sun projects plasma in our direction causes more earthquakes and volcanic activity by effecting our magnitusphere (sp).
@@benkerry2006 Tim here is an Interesting person that has a great educational channel. He has autism but he doesn't let that stop from from educating himself and others. You two are just rude a holes complaining about free shit RU-vid. Grow up
you can be sure that the info on this channel is well researched. Also there is sth called wiki, which serves even lazy people. russia: 144 mio, java: 151 mio.... which is clearly more
I can't understand you, man. I mean, I can, but I really have to work at it. I understand that you're establishing yourself in a unique way and branding, artistic flair and all that... but you seem to be getting less intelligible over time. I don't remember ever having to hang on each of your words so closely to figure out what you're saying. Maybe it's your audio. That's probably it - the EQ is screwy or something on this one maybe.
@@davidcranstone9044 He was complaining about the audio recording quality. I guess the problems come from the distance between the mouth and the microphone. He should've stand further while speak louder during the recording process.
Yes it is his real voice, and if you cannot take it seriously that is your loss. As he explains at the start of his recent livestream from Iceland, it is because he is autistic, and it cuts in when he is reading from a prepared text.. So to my mind criticism is out of order, and in fact added kudos to him for producing such well informed, clear, and concise videos with the autism to deal with. Respect!
