    It appears that some people might be misinterpreting this video. The alert level of Soufriere Hills has not changed and is still at 1. It is unlikely to be increased anytime soon. I need to stress how slow of a year over year increase the volcano is experiencing. 10 earthquakes a week is still incredibly low, but is an upward trend when comparing to certain prior years. Scientists aren’t expecting an eruption anytime soon. I generally don’t make videos about long term changes at volcanoes, but is such a scenic and notable volcano to simply not cover it.

      Then they must either make the uk their home or find another place....as they are British citizens, they should consider anywhere in Britain to be their home, not just that volcanic outcrop in the sea.

    I remember when that volcano erupted; all those people on an island with nowhere else to go. The houses covered to their roofs. It was heartbreaking. And just like that half their tropical paradise country is a barren waste.

    True. This is valid for all volcanoes on earth. 😉

    Thanks for mentioning so many volcanoes of different countries.

      You’re speaking of La Palma volcano. That already erupted recently and debunked that entire theory.

    • @davidcranstone9044
      @davidcranstone9044 Рік тому +1

      ​@@anwaarsamaiNot really. The southern 15km (I think) of La Palma is a north-south fissure ridge with eruptions happening along its sides. In 1948 a crack formed right along the crest of the ridge and the whole west side slid slightly towards the ocean - if the whole west side went into the Atlantic during a future eruption, as one single high-speed landslide, that would indeed produce a pretty massive tsunami (though even then the figures being bandied around in that supertsunami scare are probably exaggerated). However the consensus now is that it would not go all in one but as a series of smaller slides many of them probably gradual - so any tsunamis probably wouldn't be big enough to cause major destruction on the other side of the Atlantic let alone in New York.
      The 2020 eruption did not occur in the cracked length of ridge, but a bit further north where the ridge actually forms the southeast side of an enormous landslide scar where what looks like a whole medium-size stratovolcano really did slide off into the Atlantic sea at some point. I'd Google it, but funny things can happen when I switch windows while commenting on UA-cam and I'm not going to risk it!
