The recent highly explosive eruption of Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai has brought additional attention to other volcanoes in the nation of Tonga. One of these other volcanoes is in fact erupting right now and has been erupting ever since October 2nd of 2015. The volcano I am referring to is known as Tofua, which produced two geologically recent eruptions an order of magnitude larger than what the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano produced on January 15th. This video will discuss this lush island volcano and discuss just how recently its last major explosive eruption occurred.

I want to note that when the first (or second) caldera forming eruption began at Tofua, some of local Polynesians who lived on the island were able to escape. As a result, they developed a legend involving deities to explain why the eruption occurred. I would have normally posted the details in the end graphic of this video, but some of its details (despite it being a legend) are a bit NSFW. If you wish to see that legend, wikipedia has a brief description of it.

Lots of ancient myth stories, if properly translated, actually tell of real ancient geological or celestial events, case in point the Sumerian story of how the gods named after planets fought a war which explains the location of Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, and the asteroid belt, or the Australian Aboriginal myth about how a giant rock formation in the middle of the desert came to exist, or stories in the Hindu vedas of ancient wars fought by gods flying on birds (wrong translation) etc...

Perfect! I was just exploring Tonga on Google Earth this morning and happened to notice these two volcanos north of the one that recently erupted and was fascinated by their features and wondered when they last erupted. I also noticed the deep trench to the east along the ocean floor and figured that one plate was subducting under the other causing the volcanos to appear where they are. You affirmed my suspicions!

Hm I just thought of a question that I don't believe has been addressed yet; What sort of timespans are we looking at when it comes to the collapses that create calderas? Is the collapse generally a slow subsidance over time, does it fall catastrophically, does it coincide with the effusion of molten rock and gasses etc? Obviously no individual answer would suffice - I expect all of these to be true to some extent at least some of the time... but really curious what we know here.
@xxxx85
@xxxx85 2 года назад
I have a question! How come the caldera doesn't fill up with a crater lake? The caldera seems to form a rather uniform ring around the center lake with no visible outflow of water into the ocean so why doesn't rain water add up to create a lake until it reaches a point where water finds an outflow?

Back in 1993 I was working on a project in Tonga and actually got to visit Tofu'a. Arrived by floatplane from Nei'afu, Vava'u and landed on the crater lake, then hiked up to the rim of the active crater. The gas coming out of it was so noxious that even the slightest whiff seized up your lungs and prevented breathing - Scary, and I've never experienced anything else like it. The whole crater, though, was a magical 'other-world', and it's worth noting that the Mutiny on the Bounty took place off the southwest coast of Tofu'a, with the crew coming ashore on the beach there, unaware of the freshwater lake in the crater. There's really no place to land a boat and when I was there, there weren't any permanent residents on the island - just a couple of garden plots on the northeast coast where people came over from Ha'apai to grow crops, but only on days that were calm enough to anchor and ferry themselves ashore by canoe. Really amazing place.

@mrvwbug4423 2 года назад
Taupo maybe? It has produced a large number of VEI 6 and 7 eruptions over the last 60,000 years (which is fairly recent from a geologic standpoint), it's in the same subduction zone as Tonga. Taupo also produced the most recent VEI 8 so is considered a supervolcano. It's been quiet-ish for the last 1800 years, but could of course resume activity (still a lot of geothermal activity in the area).

Paradise destroyed in a moment, many lives changed forever, and the place they called home for generations is no more.

@theredrover3217
@theredrover3217 2 года назад
Tonga is at (see 1:15) a tetonic plate subaduction zone - rift in the earth's crust - along the Ring of Fire. The Hawaiian islands up to the Emperor Seamounts originated over a stationary 'hot spot' ON the Pacfic Plate. You could say the volcanos are born at The Big Island 'spot' on the Pacific Plate and go to die up at the Aleutians in the subaduction zone at the Aleutian Trench. As volcanoes travel North with the plate, eventually losing thier magma supply - conduit to the 'hot spot' - they are starved (loss of building material), sink and erode to disappear - be submerged.

Why does freshly melted rock from a subducting plate go upwards? Wouldn't it still be cooler than the magma it entererd?
@Dragrath1
@Dragrath1 2 года назад
Yes it is indeed cooler the key point for why it goes upwards has to do with density and also much of the crustal melting being induced in the overlying plate. Much of arc magmatism is actually driven by water and other volatiles being forced out of the subducting plate and as these volatiles rise towards the surface they in turn causes the melting point of the rock to lower allowing the overlying crust to differentially melt and produce arc volcanism. There is another type of subduction related volcanism which is much rarer where the underlying plate gets directly melted but that requires much more heat to occur. In Either case the melt that goes upwards is differentially melted that means the material separates out by melting point and density selectively leading to lower density higher silica concentration magmas. Remember that fluids will in the absence of mixing self stratify by density in the presence of a gravitational field. The minerals in basalt are heavier than those andesite dacite or rhyolite respectively so the other types of magma are more buoyant as they have differing fractions of lighter elements/minerals. This is the same reason continents float above the underlying basaltic crust and mantle, effectively continents are basically silicate glacier like crust of lower density rock that floats on top of the denser basaltic rocks.

Do you think this eruption will cause global cooling? Like maybe by 1/2 or 1 degree?

A few reports indicate that the Tonga eruption did not put out near enough SO2 to cause and significant cooling. The amount of cooling likely to occur was estimated at --0.011 °C.

Make a mug of milky coffee and watch the skin that forms move on the hot liquid. Similar process. And before some comedian comments, no the Earth's plates do not float around on hot milk. 😊 Oh bugger! I've probably started a new conspiracy theory. 🤦😉

@@melrichardson7709 The earth is made of chocolate. That is a true scientific fact unlike the CULT of evilution. Dark chocolate subducts under milk chocolate that is why yellowstone erupted, why Djokovich waa deported from Austalia and why I tripped over a rock today. All these things are related because I put them in a list together, which proves its all connected to the flat earth ice age solar minimum.
