This Week in Volcanoes; A Volcano Reawakens in Turkey, Grimsvotn Might Erupt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лис 2021
- Right now, there are 49 volcanoes actively erupting on the planet. This week, the Hasan Dagi volcano in Turkey began to show signs of unrest. It has not erupted in more than 8,000 years, and has a history of large caldera forming eruptions. In Iceland, the Grimsvotn volcano is about to produce a major flood (termed a jökulhlaup) which could then trigger a volcanic eruption. Also, the Taal volcano in the Philippines produced a new volcanic eruption. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.

It is only a matter of time before Grimsvotn produces its glacial flood. It has taken a surprising amount of time to occur, and should begin any moment now...
Well ,yes. I guess we will hear soon enough about it. Better we won't ,i guess. Greetings from Germany
the neolithic painting is from Catalhoyuk. In ian Hodders work there is no mention of a name that has been given to the Catalhoyuk people.
There is yet almost no discharge into the river it should flow into. The only river to be basicly below normal values. I guess I heard the police is not allowing cars to stop near this river, which is of course a good thing, so they can close and evacuate the mainroad there efficiently.
Nailed it. Thanks!
@@timkbirchico8542 I want to note that some scientists do not consider this painting to be evidence of an eruption. However, I do.
Hi Guys. Thanks GeologyHub for excellent upgrade. Im from Turkey. Volcanology has not professional care and caution in Turkey due to non-eruptive volcanoes since a few centuries. There are just a few phreato-magmatic eruptions has occured in last 500 years. Last lava activity has occured in Nemrut Dağı in Eastern Anatolia in 1441. It was a fissure eruption has occured with VEI 3 and today it still can observe in area Kantaşı, Bitlis City where is close to Mount Nemrut. However we know that, Mount Tendurek was the latest volcanic eruption in 1855. Many Ottoman resources define it as an ash and steam activity which was occured in a midnight when Ottoman vs Soviet Russia war was continuing and both of two army was thought that it was an attack by enemies. 😂This was recorded in Ottoman and Armenian archieves. But Mount Tendurek is closed for visitors and scientists since 15 years due to Kurdish terror organisation pkk's attacks in that location. And the Mount Hasan. We are watching it, following it. But as i said before, Turkey and its scientists mostly care on earthquakes. Volcanoes are not at second rank too. Its priority at third or fourth rank important unfortunately. But Mount Hasan began to change this situation in last year and now TÜBİTAK, MTA and many university's geology/geophysic depts began to follow and observe it. I have many video that you can easily observe increasing activity steams, fumarols and gases on mountain. I wish professional volcanologists would visit the most active 3 mountains of Turkey ( Hasan, Crater Nemrut and Tendurek) and share their opinions with us. Sorry for if i wrote sth in bad grammar. Because its 4 am in Turkey now. ☺ Thank you for your care. 🌋
La Palma is going nuts right now with new vents opened on the northeastern side behind the live feed cams' view!
This seems to be a highly unpredictable volcano...
The cindercone has to have weak points. I saw a vent on the RHS halfway down the erupted cinder cone structure which had been visible and ejecting a lava flowaround 4 weeks ago? I have screengrabs somewhere...
@@amandadonegan2137 I won't dispute that. Those vents have been moving around a LOT behind where the cam usually aims and the drone vids show that. You're 100% correct. New vents have and will pop up without warning.
How many vent is there?
I love the weekly updates on top of the regular content, thank you for putting in the extra time.
best volcano channel on youtube. hands down.
I’m glad that you enjoy my content :)
Thumbs up to you for being able to pronounce Icelandic place names.
Yeah - The voice bot sure has talent. ;)
Stay safe, everyone☺️
As fascinated as I am by Taal, I'm glad the threat of a large eruption is becoming less likely ....given how many people live in its shadow.
Agreed. It truly is the most dangerous volcano on the planet
Thanks! Turkey! Who knew! Beautiful geology.
Turkey has a few volcanoes just they tend to be about as active as Canadian volcanoes (Aka they erupt every few thousand years at most). Example: Ararat erupted in 1840 :)
Thank you for the great volcanic update!
Can you give us an update on Icelands former active volcano with a summary of how it developed over time? Thx for great content.
This, I like this idea.
I also like that idea
Good idea
A interesting example for a video would be Ljósufjöll (Light mountains), a active volcanic system in western Iceland that is located on the old Snæfellsnes rift which was active before the current reykjanes-langjökull rift. It has produced many subglacial eruptions and more recent post-glacial eruptions. While it is a active system it has a long dormancy, most recent is ~1000 years ago and it also has a different basalt-lava composition compared to the active rift zone volcanoes. It also produced the pretties spattercone in Iceland, Eldborg í Hnappadal.
I live on the Big Island. Your channel makes me feel connected to all the other "Peoples of the Volcano" around the world. Mahalo!
I DID enjoy this video! Thank you very much for it
And what a week it has been….. many thanks to the author for his expert analysis and presenting these volcanoes in a scientific light
The 1 with the 10 mile intrusion makes me think of Mt St Helens in the 80's
Thanks for this global info helping to put the La Palma volcano perspective .
Thank you for this pertinent information.
In Turkish, the word Dagi, meaning mountain, is pronounced like “Dye”. Turkish viewers, please correct me if this is wrong, it’s been a long time since I travelled there.
You can read it Hasan Mountain. Dağı means Mountain bro..
Thanks for these weekly updates 😃 loving it!
Informative and concise, thank you!
2:00 - Very interesting. I grew up in the shadow of Mount Lassen. Never knew a volcano in Turkey could be similar to it. However I think you should have shown a photo of it that most people would recognize. This is an odd angle. The other side of the peak - reveals the shocking damage of the side blowout when it exploded.
(I'm not even 100% sure if this is a picture of Lassen.)
Love this channel. Thank you so much for creating it!
Thanks for the weekly news!
"with this being said" is the common phrase in here 😁
By the way, mount Ili Lewotolok in Indonesia just erupted today. The eruption came from the submarine volcano to the south of the volcano which shares the same magma conduit
This was a very enlightening report! Learn a lot about what is going on and what might be to come!
I was hoping you'd mention the Jökulhlaup, what an amazing and terrible clashing of elemental forces.
One of my favorite Magic the Gathering cards!!!!
IT is brilliant and dense content, love this work
I know it would be a horrible event. Hit I can't help but be fascinated by the hope that I get to witness a vei 6-7 in my life. Maybe from a currently undiscovered volcano in Antarctica so that the impacts on major population centers are minimized as much as a VEi 7 can be
I feel the same about yellowstone
Well i also would like to see such an eruption....in the middle of nowhere / as a submarine eruption.
@@lolvondgf I feel like that could be worse depending on where it could produce an incredible large tsunami
If an eruption of that size throws ash high upp in the atmosphere it will have an effect on global climate and can cause bad harvests and starvation all over the globe.
@@lubricustheslippery5028 I know. Which is why I'm glad that It most likely won't happen but it would be cool for about a day until humans start going wild and freaking out
Volcano news is the best news.
I would really like to see something on Vog, something that goes deeper than just explaining what it is. This is also a great word and should be used more often!
@Agnes Day Pat Conroy/Prince of Tides fan? I ask because of your YT name here!
Please can you do a video of the Ambrym volcano as it used to have a lava lake in one of it's two craters
Correction
Both did
Thank you so much 4 taking the time to gather this information & sharing it with all the world😎👍👄
This is real news
It sure is.
Thank you 💖
the cave painting most likely is of a volcano. the squares look like the kind of houses that those people lived in so it has to be on the scale of "big". it's got a main peak erupting and perhaps a cinder cone or vent. its size and the amount of detail compared with other paintings in the cave suggest that it's important. the timeline of eruptions matches the age of the paintings. when i see something significant i paint it. also those ancient people probably didn't have an understanding of volcanoes beyond stories of them so it would be especially frightening and awesome.
I would disagree, very respectfully, with your assessment of the Cave Art. The squares do not resemble houses. They resemble a calendar. A time keeping language. Gobekli Tepi was already ancient by this time. We are way past "primitive village folk" and keeping volcanic records was certainly part of the scientific lingua franca of the times. Where better to record volcanic observations than a cave which stands a chance of surviving an eruption from the nearby volcano?
@@newphaze4t370 i would respectfully disagree with your counterpoint. these people were hardly 'primitive' (if that even means anything) i'll grant you. scientific record-keeping seems unlikely with only one possible example though. the settlement in question was built of square houses all abutting each other where the entrances and most activity were on the roofs. the shapes look like a diagram of the neighborhood. here's so-and-so's roof with their chicken coop and jars, there's such-and-such's roof with their tanning racks, and so on.
if i were to invent a calendar that people would understand with limited or no literacy, you would see the moon on it. a picture of the mountain, then wheat for example to indicate harvest season, then the mountain erupting followed by however many moons it lasted, then the mountain at rest again. there's little point in science if you can't understand the work of people before you, and everyone knows what the moon looks like and how long its cycles are.
Excellent stuff!!
Thank you!
Thanks alot !! Can we discuss hasan dagi and the nearby volcanoes in more details as a future topic 😍
Excellent information on a regular basis! Love volcanoes and earthquakes. Spectacular demonstrations of the power of nature.
Great show - Thanks
Champion at volcano information
great information! peace
In Turkish "Dağ" means mountain. So "Hasan Dağı" literally means "Mount Hasan". You can use it that way in your upcoming videos.
Mount Hasan. i might refer to that
Thank you. God bless
Nice 👍
Interesting content. Just found you and subbed. Watching from the Philippines.
I’m glad that you enjoy my videos! What part of the Philippines are you from?
You are the best. Kind regards.
Hi always enjoy your info. Could you look at the tepui in South America please. Thanks.
I can! It’s a fun geologic oddity
Now you have me wondering- is 49 a high number of volcanoes at once? Or has anyone bothered to do yearly averages?
thats actually around average
@@KaiserStormTracking no it's not. 14 was the reported average at one time.
@@elizabethjansen2684 that must have been way way way way back when we didn't know about volcanoes worldwide as much
@@KaiserStormTracking less than a decade ago. Just checked and apparently no one agrees on average per year anyway; Anywhere from 40 to 70+. And that's not discussing height of blasts.
merci pour ces infos .
I'd love to see something on the various extinct volcanoes in Scotland, and why we should be grateful that they haven't done anything since the carboniferous!
Scottish Natural Heritage put out booklets in conjunction with British Geological Survey in the 19990s.
Mull and Skye are both Paleogene volcanoes
Where can we read more about Hasan Dagi? Thanks for the updates!
Ask Alphonse
Can you get information on an under sea volcano that has mad a large mountain in one year!
Around 2klms down. Off of Norway. local information seems to have been removed?
Amazing
Could you do a segment on the Chiracahua mtns. And southeast section of Arizona. The Chiracahua caldera. Thanks
With all that being said I appreciate your video🇺🇸👍🏼
Please do a full video of Masaya volcano :)
Bring it on, they all can take it!!
Haven't heard anything about the situation in the azores in the mid-Atlantic. Has the volcano there finally settled down???
Mount pinatubo had a phreatic eruption yesterday
Mount semeru, la palma, and now in turkey 😮
Please do a video on vulcan de fuego, Guatemala
Yikes 😬😳
Great informative videos, but consider reducing your use of "This being said ..." It makes any speaker sound inarticulate.
BTW where can someone obtain the current active volcano list please? thanks
GVP but it tends to be outdated at times
On Wikipedia hasan dagi is labeled as a stratovolcano
I'm here for the SO2 animations
Turkey in my opinion seems to be a place where the next large plinian eruption can be expected to occur because no eruptions have occurred there since 1855 and it has several sleeping giant stratovolcanoes like Hasan Dag or Nemrut caldera.
This is very true. Also a lot of Turkish volcanoes are lava dome complexes which are notorious for large explosive eruptions
Antioch - is due for another massive quake one day. That's the headline I fear.
👍🌋
Can i see the source for the statement that the Turkey earthquake was volcanic in origin?
ua-cam.com/video/79Eq9KiyYs0/v-deo.html
How about a video on Ojos Del Salado. I understand it to be the worlds tallest volcano.
Already done! Here you go: m.ua-cam.com/video/AnCE9ugBfWM/v-deo.html
The "List of Volcanoes that are Currently Erupting" at the end of your videos is not useful because it scrolls by so fast. Please consider either slowing it down to show while you thank your patrons.
pause/skip/change speed doh
Strange...
Just like we know about some super Volcanoes like Taupo, Yellowstone, toba, etc that are active, can anything about the basalt floods be told if which of them are active or not?
Add Campi Flegrei to that list, while everyone is being distracted by Vesuvius.
@@freespiritable Yes, I know campi flegrei and long valley have more activities than any other supervolcanoes but I mean about the active supervolcanoes we know and have also put "etc" which means there are others.
Good we need a change
Mt. Ararat (if it has not been done before)
Odd .... Lassen had few eqs past wk too lol.. Maybe Lasen and Turkey volcano are talking to each other, saying " noooo, you do it, uh uhh you do it, I blew up last time...."
Lassen always has quakes like this
@@chrisrifkin3670 Yeah, he's always bubbling and emitting. Has been humming away for about 100 years. When they reopen from the wildfire damage - youve got to go see the boiling mud flats and the sulfur pits. :)
This also happen biggest volcano on indonesia.
Do you think the turkey volcano can erupt?
they should erupt all at once! that would be awesome. Even covid would get scared and run away. LOL
How many Volcanoes are Erupting on any given day?
And a volcano causing a flood is quite amazing
Not as amazing as a flood causing a volcanic eruption.
glacial flooding in iceland was't caused by it erupting, only by fumorales increasing in activity due to rising magma and that flood could trigger an eruption
Ahhh....Turkey has a volcano...?
the middle east shockingly does have volcanoes mostly stratovolcanoes or cinder cones
Blessed is the One Who Comes in The Name of the Lord: A Close Reading of Psalm 118.Jan 30, 2020
"I hope you enjoyed this video." - I am unsure if that is even possible, unless you want to see the world burn.
uh, 50 active eruptions/year is absolutely average for earth post last glacial age.
@@thomasneal9291 no it's not.
Never heard of a volcano that cools white
That's because of the high level of calcium in the lava. Unique in the world.
Is there a super volcano on iceland
Oddly enough, there is not. However, there is a section of Iceland which has produced mini flood basalts such as Laki in 1783 and Eldgja in the 10th century. A single lava flow covering >500 km^2 is an impressive feat.
@@GeologyHub outstanding thankyou bro🤙🤙🤙
very interesting...noone talks and knows about that...hopefully it doesnt wake up...or more catastrophes will occur😰🍀🌍
Here's a shot of new activity on La Palma: ua-cam.com/video/WPN408xxyLU/v-deo.html
It's still pronounced Grim's Vöten tho 😉😂
👍👍👍👍🇸🇩😘
Tur ky tejo lesson
I've been saying to my family that I am expecting a volcanic winter with all the ash in the atmosphere. With so many heavy snow storms in November, do you believe this could be correct
Personally I doubt it because no one eruption has been that big and there hasn't been a higher then usual number of eruptions.
I have also not heard any concerns from geologists that a cooler winter is likely due to the volcanic eruptions.
According to those emissions, you can not stand to tell me humans even have the slightest affect on global warming.
Hey man can you do that inflection at the end of every phrase like you used to do?👍👍👍 I miss it! When you finish a phrase without doing it, then it is not fun! 😁
What is the point of saying " with this being said" it is totally unnecessary for any sentence.
If you knew him ,, You would know exactly why and what it is you know you would know as it is all over the same story same time that he said come
Increased volcanic activity caused by global warming.
Maybe if we threw some politicians into them we could appease the fire gods
How much do you have to practice pronouncing those Icelandic names? You don't stumble over them at all.
Bot. ;)
