The volcanic eruption of the Ruang volcano was highly destructive. Yet, due to its unexpectedness, it left many people wanting answers. In today's video, I will answer several of these questions about the Ruang volcano as a geologist and volcanologist. Topics include whether Ruang and Tagulandang Islands might connect, how much ash was ejected in terms of Olympic swimming pool volumes, and whether Ruang could produce an 1883 Krakatau-like caldera forming eruption.

The bigger question: how many people are actually familiar with the size of an Olympic swimming pool?

@WiseSnake 20 дней назад

Yeah those comparisons never helped me because I've seen an Olympic sized swimming pool. lol

@g3heathen209 20 дней назад

164 feet long, how wide it is depends on how many lanes. It's actually very variable because the term means any pool in which a oylmpic style swiming event is held.

@iver7473 20 дней назад

50 metres long and 5 metres deep (for diving)

@bukboefidun9096 20 дней назад

A better example is how many standard 5000 gallon gas trucks it is... We all know what they look like

@callmeshaggy5166 20 дней назад

Even bigger question: how many Ruang volcano eruptions is 1 Olympic sized pool?

@IAmTheShaz 20 дней назад

I love that you humored that last question and calculated the number of pools/busses 😆

@sammythompson3694 17 дней назад

There could have been a bunch of short buses makes a small, but deep.pool.

@cmcer1995 20 дней назад

Using buses to describe volume was hilarious.

@Lobster625 20 дней назад

I did like this question and answer session, I watch you every day! thank you for what you do!

@nobeliefisok9174 20 дней назад

I hope it performs well. Its interesting to hear what others ask, as well as what you deem worthwhile to answer in a video.

@victoriaeads6126 20 дней назад

Then you for updating us on the situation of the local people.

@MarthChan 20 дней назад

I loved the wording of the "American units" question and I especially loved the answer. The world could be crumbling around us, but at least we can poke a little fun at ourselves and get a few smiles out of people. I appreciated the light heartedness anyway. Please stay safe everyone - regardless of your proximity to a volcano. You all deserve to be safe.

@maurasmith-mitsky762 20 дней назад

I like learning about the fate of the local people. Thanks.

@sensen6883 20 дней назад

Around 900 local residents in Ruang Island are being relocated to a new location, and their new homes will be built with the help of government and military. But not every local agrees with this decision and chooses to stay in the Ruang island.

@mikedungan8214 20 дней назад

Agreed. You can trust his content. There's nothing sensational or click-baity about it. Just a sincere effort to share information.

@xwiick 20 дней назад

Thanks for all of your hard work man!

@Ifyoucanreadthisgooglebroke 20 дней назад

I really like the 'sidebars' of extra info printed on screen to be paused and read by those who are interested. As someone who gets in trouble at times for being too verbose due to providing just such sidebars of expanded explanation about things, I appreciate the solution.

@TheSpaceEnthusiast-vl6wx 20 дней назад

Thanks as always! By looking at the videos of Ruang, even more of the volcano's top has disappeared after the April 30th eruption.

@Deltaflot1701 20 дней назад

Answered my question about a Krakatoa sized eruption. Thank you

@Dean_W-Cdn 19 дней назад

Thank you - as a 38 yr, geologist - where and who can we - encourage - you get a scientific award for your coverage and your passion deserves.

@aw9680 20 дней назад

I think you should add a q and a to the back of your videos. It's really engaging for your channel.

@benjaminmatheny6683 19 дней назад

the absolute dead pan on the last question was great

@Hiear 20 дней назад

Ahhhh, yes, finally units I can understand - pools and school buses. Waiting for light years and Toyota Corollas in next one.

@carolynmartin1268 20 дней назад

Thank you for answering questions about this volcano 🌋🏝

@Baldevi 20 дней назад

More Answers please! I love these informational videos! You are excellent at making these events make sense, so we not so informed or volcanically educated people can visualise and understand nicely what is happening or has happened!

@Vesuviusisking 20 дней назад

My new favourite volcano

@scillyautomatic 20 дней назад

3:51 Finally. Some measurements that I can identify with!

@albertconstantine5432 20 дней назад

Great, as ever. Best information on the web on these important topics. Thank you. Hope you are well.

@skinnyswheelz5330 20 дней назад

Love the Q&A Thanks for Sharing!

@KimiAvary 20 дней назад

Thank you!

@surters 20 дней назад

Have you looked at the neighbough island, isn't that a caldera or just a landslide?

@danielulz1640 20 дней назад

Thank you, this was very informative.

@xj900uk 20 дней назад

Can you please explain more about your worry that Ruang is actually part of a much larger caldera/complex system which lies predominantly to its NW and much of which (if it exists) is under water? Assuming it exists, what is that capable of?

@medea27 20 дней назад

This was great 👍 One of the toughest parts of science communication is striking a balance between reaching viewers with very little knowledge & the desire to get into the beefier science. I'm always impressed with how much you pack into these short videos & the viewer questions are a great addition.

@jennb3387 20 дней назад

I really liked this format and appreciate you taking the time to answer questions.

@rainydaylady6596 20 дней назад

I can't imagine how hard it would be to find out you can never go back to your home and possibly never see some of your friends and family again.

@sammythompson3694 19 дней назад

It's not that hard I have done it 19 times, before striking out on my own I went to 13 different schools for 12 grades.

@MC-uf1ts 19 дней назад

I lost my home when my water heater exploded. Glad to be alive.

@nanwijanarko1969 18 дней назад

Precisely. Both because of disasters or man made war, it's hard to say the least.

@poppawolf26 20 дней назад

I can't imagine folks on Tagulandang Island are happy about the move......they can't relocate to the other side?

@mrbbqcraig 19 дней назад

Haha, that last calculation was epic... cheers to you Mr. G.H. 🤟✨

@kimkennedy3524 20 дней назад

Love the q and a format. Thanks

@sherylschroer6610 20 дней назад

Thank you for the info. I find it very interesting. Living in the central US volcanic eruptions are ponderous, a long way away

@luannvondracek439 20 дней назад

Thanks for the people update. I know that I couldn't find that anywhere but here. The amount of school busses was mind blowing 😊 Appreciate the format and time taken to keep us informed.

@matthewbooth9265 20 дней назад

That is a lot of buses to all come at once. I wonder how long they would take to pass if they were all driving by nose to tail at 50mph:P

@bevinboulder5039 20 дней назад

Loved the Q&A. I'd love more of them. Thanks!

@rynesmith3249 20 дней назад

Just wanted to say I also watch every day and greatly enjoy this channel. Love the QA and if it does perform well, maybe you might consider making it a more regular feature? Thank you for these high-quality videos!

@Rammstein45 20 дней назад

When can we expect to see up close aerial photos of the island and crater. I'm really interested in seeing before and after photos for this eruption.

@ben4life988 20 дней назад

That last question was funny

@catherinekenyon7555 20 дней назад

How would geologists and other scientists determine if Ruang and the neighboring islands are part of a caldera? What sort of tests could be done, or what sort of data is to be collected to puzzle it out? Thank you!

@ikbalikbal769 20 дней назад

As far as I know, there are several ways to find out. 1. Due to its location in the middle of the ocean, a bathymetric image of the seabed is needed to find out whether there is a caldera at the bottom of the sea.2. Using seismic reflection waves to determine the existence of the magma chamber and its structure. Is there a large magma chamber that connects the 3 islands?3. Excavate layers of rock or soil to look for layers of material from large eruptions in the past, especially the ignimbrite layer. If later found, The age of the ignimbrite was determined and matched with the chemical structure of the material from the Ruang volcano eruption.

@nancywalten3881 20 дней назад

Thank you this is very interesting.

@alanbiancardi2531 19 дней назад

Great video as always. If you have time perhaps letting your audience ask questions about other volcanos too.

@rickkearn7100 19 дней назад

Great feature, GH! This was really informative and I would hope to see one of this type GH post per month, as many, many viewers often have questions that can't always be answered due to the sheer volume of posts in most the the Geology Hub videos. Cheers.

@brettlee-2112 20 дней назад

Well done, my scholastic friend. You teach me things every day

@AstonMartin427 20 дней назад

Geologyhub, could you do a Q&A video about yourself and/or general geology questions?

@user-pi4wj7bm4z 20 дней назад

Thanks for your time and answers,although only time will tell. Greg in Canada 🇨🇦. 😊.

@gregdiggs423 19 дней назад

Your work and content is top notch and much appreciated. Thank you and prayers to all the people affected by this eruption

@tigersharkzh 20 дней назад

The appropriate unit for things of that dimension would be the Football Stadium.

@jdonehew 20 дней назад

I enjoyed this video very much. Quite informative. Thank you!

@jbest1802 20 дней назад

Thank you for the update.

@Yezpahr 20 дней назад

The freest of freedom units. Olympic sized swimming pools and schoolbuses.

@cacogenicist 20 дней назад

When will that spreading ridge get subducted? And what sort of volcanism might be associated with that event?

@tristanmelling410 19 дней назад

Great video, looking forward to an extended format sequel!

@stephyadcock1233 19 дней назад

Thank you for your hard work on this one. I love the sense of humour regarding "American Units". I had a question regarding total SO2 deposits in the stratosphere and its estimated affect on temperature but I guess you have millions of questions to get through.

@dszqujd 20 дней назад

Excellent!

@sammythompson3694 19 дней назад

This could be a plus for the Islanders as they would have a natural bridge connection between the islands.

@oilerfreak 19 дней назад

thank you!!

@W2LTA 20 дней назад

Have there not been any helicopters near the volcano?

@asunlovingmom 19 дней назад

You do good work!

@AndalaASMR 13 дней назад

Giving a like just for doing such a great job with crediting sources of pictures, videos, and permissions. It may not seem like a big deal, but it's mad respectable from me! 😁

@TheRaginCajun6 19 дней назад

Ruang reminds me of Taal Volcano only because so many people used to live on the island until the 2020 eruption but also more people live across the water on the shore of Taal lake including resorts which is kind of like tahulandang.

@RoddyChannel 19 дней назад

I loved this video. I hope there's more to come :D

@umieqaseh6769 20 дней назад

@xandk4009 20 дней назад

Finally you pronounced Ruang right this time yay

@digitaldreamer5481 20 дней назад

I was hoping you were going to add an update to all the earthquake activity on the Big Island of Hawai’i…🤔

@swainscheps 19 дней назад

If loving this volcano is Ruang, I don’t ever want to be Ruight.

@garymetzker5763 19 дней назад

Not a Joke, thats how we in America gather the size of something grand ! A very big part of your audience is in the USA..

@71717 20 дней назад

Could you give us an update on in Italy on this volcano that could go off without any warning and it has 300 million people living right on it, I can't remember the name 🥴

@whiteknightcat 20 дней назад

Swimming pools and busses are great for volume, but ... for linear measurements, we need a banana for scale.

@KerryFreemanMelbourne 19 дней назад

Thanks

@karabean 19 дней назад

Oh boy that's a lot of buses!!

@danielhertz7266 20 дней назад

Things are heating up!

@Heavenlyrules 19 дней назад

Splendid

@leohorishny9561 19 дней назад

Awww, corgi measurements would have been fun!😆

@prjndigo 19 дней назад

Just use 110 cubic meters as the measurement instead of swimming pools since the 14.5m long intermodal bins used internationally are 6697728 cubic inches in volume by external measurements. They're literally an international standard created by the US that everybody uses. (109756 liters) and people can go look at huge stacks of them easily.

@inyomankurniawan 19 дней назад

Another volcano also erupt in Indonesia. It's Mount Ibu.

@enriccatala8317 19 дней назад

Thank for the update. Where did you get the info about Tagulandang relocation project? Moving them to Pineleng? That's weird. Tagulandang families' income comes from fishing and nutmeg farming. Nutmeg trees do not grow in Minahasa. And Pineleng has no beach...

@lmwlmw4468 18 дней назад

😅😅🤣🤣 ..... ´´American units aka swimming pools and school buses´´ .......that was a nice one...!!!

@kevinanderson5658 19 дней назад

Hi geology hub Seen new reports on why hunga Tonga eruption was so big stated gases two magma chamber merged together

@MegaTriumph1 20 дней назад

@valentinsantiago277 19 дней назад

Is Tachalingding a volcano?

@NebbieNZ 20 дней назад

American standard pools and bus's lol, I grew up with the metric system meters and kilometers suit me just fine but do like the bit of humor.

@kathysmith6413 20 дней назад

another very well done vid. keep up hte good work

@nathandanner4030 19 дней назад

Olympic Sized Swimming Pools are 50m long...therefore metric. The 'Standard' American Pool is 25 yrds long.

@Kaoru_Sato24 19 дней назад

Question: are those three islands are connected to each other and if there is a possibility that there are far more bigger happening in the sea bed where the first eruption occured before ruang erupts???

@shanehebert3237 19 дней назад

For future reference, measurements in school buses are called "freedom units"

@myeyesburn641 19 дней назад

Do you know if the volcano Karangetan of the island Siau is relatively safe? Siau is one of the neighboring islands of Ruang. I want to visit Siau this summer.
