It is quite suspicious that a glow is now faintly observable at Mount Mayon's summit. However, I would not read too much into this. On several occasions since its last eruption a glow has become visible but those instances did not result in a new eruption.
The number of around 50 erupting volcanoes I hear almost every Sunday in the "This Week in Volcano News" series of our host here. So it looks quite normal. He gets his data from the "Global Volcanism Program" of the Smithsonian Institute website. This website has also a list of yearly eruption frequency worldwide and a database of what volcano erupted when. This database covers the last 60 years or so. It looks like if there are actually more volcanoes erupting in one year (around 80) than did 60 years ago (around 50-60). But of course this may also be the result of better present observation methods and skills than what mankind had those days. 🖐👴
As you have said, Mount Mayon has an orange glow on its summit now. This reminds me of Mount Bulusan’s summit doing the same, but there was no lava. If I remember correctly, it was due to volcanic gases.
I hope you are recovering alright from covid. Im currently on the tail end of it and its not fun! Thank you for continuing your daily updates, ive learnt so much from your vids!
Yes solid elemental sulfur a.k.a. brimstone is an insoluble(in water) mineral precipitate which can and does melt at around ~115 deg C or ~240 deg F. Historically it was been known by the name brimstone and has long been associated with volcanoes and various hydrothermal system features particularly fumaroles. Its also secreted as a waste product by some anaerobic microbes particularly in sulfur rich environments as a byproduct of sulfur based carbon fixation using hydrogen sulfide as a source of hydrogen for carbon fixation so while it can also be produced by life you don't want to be anywhere near the life that does this reaction as they hate molecular oxygen making the thick carbon dioxide rich anoxic seeps around volcanic systems ideal habitat. Interestingly its normally yellow but apparently above 200 °C (392 °F) molten sulfur turns red at 200 °C (392 °F)
Could you please do the Vasquez volcanics or Vasquez rocks, it’s an ancient lava field caused by the San Andreas and I would like to know how it came to be, as it has many quartz and chalcedony crystal/agate deposits
Are you planning to do more volcanoes in Philippines? Like Mt Natib, Mt Mariveles, Mt Arayat (which are all next to Pinatubo) - Mariveles has a particularly beautiful horseshoe crater
I am! I have a few videos scheduled but I need to redo them as google recently changed their attribution policy on google earth. Expect Laguna caldera and Parker next.
Sorry for briefly disliking your comment.The Laguna Caldera is a little-known caldera which eruted possibly 530 cubic kilomters of material in an eruption ! Meanwhile, Mount Parker is a much larger, albeit similar version of Mount Pinatubo that had a clader-forming eruption in 1641. A volcano in Luzon named Mount Santo Tomas and the tallest point in the country, Mount Apo, are incorrectly attributed for being the volcano which erupted in 1641, which was Mount Parker. Santo Tomas might have erupted during the time period in a distinct eruption, however. As I could find little information on these volcanoes, Please do videos on them ! :D
I was watching a video of the on going activity at Mt Saint Helens. They commented that the lava flowing at the lava dome is unusually thick silica rich and gas deficient. Do you know what type of lava that might be and do you have more information?
Here: while the dacite (DACITE) lava erupted by Mount St. Helens in 1980 contained more of both: about 64% silica and about 4% water. So basically dacite. www.usgs.gov/news/volcano-watch-why-are-mount-st-helens-eruptions-generally-more-explosive-those-kilauea
I love how they tell us that climate change is man made when it is natural and has happened for billion of years with these volcano's emitting more gas into our atmosphere that makes man contribution small in comparison. All while never being mentioned by the bed wetter's who drive the man made climate change grift.
The effect of volcanoes and humans on climate has extensively been studied. Why do you choose to only believe the conclusions regarding volcanoes, but not regarding humans? And of course "earth" always survives, but that doesnt mean the present organisms (including humans) can suffer deeply from climate change
@@1248erik Because I understand it is being used a bludgeon to impose laws and remove our freedoms when we have no control over the climate, it will change at the whim of the planet until we disappear just like it has for billions of years, any one who thinks so is arrogant and has no understanding of how the planet works, while it is being used by charlatans to enrich themselves, climate change is such a threat, Al Gore has been completely wrong on ever predictions while having a carbon foot print the size of a small town, Obama lives on the ocean along with Zuckerberg, all of these people lie though their teeth as they fly around the world while telling me how to live my life, I will take notice once the people who are making billions out of the scam practice what they preach. I just loved a couple of story's this week, the one about the glacier melting in Switzerland and the discovery of a roman road, the media went berserk about the glacier melting while selling the panic, while having no understanding the glacier did not exist when the road was built, Or the river low warning stones in Germany, not one reporter could work out they got there in the middle ages when the river was at that level, The other one is the tide gauge in Sydney harbor, no sea level rise but the charlatans lie thought their teeth at every opportunity. PS, I have yet to hear on person who claims to be a climate scientist mention the volcano's while people like Michael Mann are just liars as proven in court when he could not back up his hockey stick graph. Or the great barrier reef, they sacked the head scientist at Townsville university because he disagreed with the assessment of the condition of the reef because it affect the universities fund raising model. Just released is a report that gives the reef a clean bill of health. If you want to see the effect on humans, look no further that the policies of the globalist's when they come into play in full force.
I have two suggestions for your channel: First: During the Mass Extinction of the dinosaurs 65-66 million years ago, was the impact antipodal to the Deccan Traps of India? Secondly, from what I have read/seen on geology videos (not yours) that Central America is only 2-3 million years ago in its present form, could new land mass should off currents between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea thus resulting the Last Ice Age (which dates from about the same time period)? THANKS!!!!!!
Hmm I'm not sure if the Deccan traps were exactly antipodal however based on dating individual flows that compose the Deccan traps we know that they were actively erupting prior to the impact and dramatically increased in intensity and volume or erupted material within several thousand years or less of the impact (ka error bars) As for Central America I think you may be referring to the closure of the isthmus of Panama? Much of Central America has existed in the form of either costal subduction or volcanic island arcs which have been pushed together gradually over geological time as North America moves to the Southwest and South America moves primarily towards the West. Incidentally I was surprised to learn that the Caribbean Sea back during the Mesozoic was actually a full blow oceanic spreading ridge. The volcanoes there appear to have stopped erupting 66 Ma which is an interesting timing given the proximity of Chicxulub, note that NA would have been to the Northeast so it was further away then than it is now. The death of sea floor spreading activity in the Caribbean while subduction continued effectively meant that North and South America could start to approach each other. Much of Central America and Northern South America represent stuff which has been compressed/pushed and uplifted by the convergence of North and South America as subduction of younger more buoyant oceanic crust slows down the movement of the two continents to the west as they approach or in the case of North America subduct the mid ocean ridge. For example the Caribbean Large Igneous Province was accreted onto South America as the continent moved north (also the responsible hotspot the Galapagos hotspot appears to have passed through South America millions of years ago in the early Cenozoic) As for the role of the closure of the isthmus of Panama on driving the extension of glaciation into the Northern hemisphere?, I don't think there is any single factor solely attributable to that. This is because a number of major events took place at around this time notably we have the youngest of a series of distinctive marine sediment layer across the planet which shows geologically short lived radioisotope signatures such as Iron 60 and Plutonium 244 (with similar evidence from our Moon) which are signatures indicating Earth was exposed to a number of relatively close supernovae between 250 to 150 light years away. Depending on when the radiation from the event hit our planet, as the ejected material while launched at high speeds wouldn't have all arrived at the same time as the initial burst of light) models indicate this would have allowed high energy particles to penetrate into the upper troposphere which could induce a cooling effect in a number of ways directly via effecting cloud formation or indirectly by increasing the occurrence of lightning in storms thus subsequently increasing the rate of fires. There appears to have been a clustering of such nearby supernovae perhaps a few dozen over the span of the Miocene and early Pleistocene suggesting our solar system was passing an active star formation region likely corresponding to the spiral arm density waves where such star formation clusters. Additionally Geology Hub has pointed out a potential crater in the Southern hemisphere which occurred around this time and thus may have contributed to this transitional period on Earth. Additionally the timing from the earliest of the dated Gakkel ridge caldera forming super eruptions appears to line up quite well with this interval of time as well. Lastly however there was also quite considerable changes in the uplift activity in the Himalayas which even lead to the break up of the Indo Australian plate and this would have resulted in increased rate of Erosion thus contributing to carbon drawdown in the Oceans too. In all likelihood it wasn't any single one of these but rather a combination of many perhaps all of these factors to varying degrees which drove the glaciation of the Northern hemisphere.

Geology Hub can u maybe a video about Mt apo it's a strato volcano and it has 3 lookout scars
Thank you I love the work you do, it really keeps up to date .
Watching from the Philippines and am quite aware of the volcanic activity here. Thanks much for all or your updates.
Truly enjoy your videos .
Very informative videos. I wonder how this worldwide level of volcanic activity compares in general to most days. Thanks.
Pretty typical activity from what I've seen.
The number of around 50 erupting volcanoes I hear almost every Sunday in the "This Week in Volcano News" series of our host here. So it looks quite normal.

Hang on... did he say "melting sulfur"? [rewinds] yes. yes, he did.

I didn't realize these were as of a week ago. Only noticed because you already reported on Mayon's unrest and alert level.
I'm wondering if he read his calendar wrong. Might be jet-lagged from that wonderful jaunt to Iceland.
For every “This week in volcanoes video”, he covers the volcano-related events of the ENTIRE week, not just the date of publication.
Need to ask if there is any unusual increase in volcanic activities recently compared to previous year or period of time
Also earthquake. Earthquakes seem to be on the increase
Both of you: These are average for an active, restless planet like Earth.
Could you please do the Vasquez volcanics or Vasquez rocks, it’s an ancient lava field caused by the San Andreas and I would like to know how it came to be, as it has many quartz and chalcedony crystal/agate deposits

The crater glow really is very faint that is currently only visible if you're using a telescope.

How did you find all this information?
Keep em coming! Enjoy these vids alot!
We should be in an ice age with all these eruptions...something people might like to think on...
Thankyou for keeping us updated
This is normal for an active , restless planet like earth.
Always great info here. Thanks🌋😺
You announce this for August 21, but it's posting on the 28th. What's right?
For every “This week in volcanoes video”, he covers the volcano-related events of the ENTIRE week, not just the date of publication.
i love your videos so much. your dedication to this is amazing. ❤️
makes me feel more passionate about volcanoes
this is very scare, take cat to basement now
Dats alota volcanoes.
It’s normal for an active, restless planet, like Earth.
