I was looking on Google Earth, exploring and stuff, and I saw this black looking thing when I zoomed out, I saw a volcanic field. I was surprised by how many cinder cones dotted the landscape, but I couldn't really find any info on this volcano. Keep up the great work!
I am a native of Tucson Arizona and I want to give you our pronunciation of this area. We say peen-a-kah-tay. I have never been to the crater, but my best friend did get to go many years ago with a geology class he was taking.
The name was originally written in Spanish and they will always pronounce the “e” at the end like “ay’, so you are correct. I have always heard it that way.
@@Jimmy-gk9rd The guy who does these videos is a real human being with an unusual way of speaking. I saw him in an interview with Shawn Willsey conversing on-camera for an hour.
@@williamthethespian We got lots of them. As you surely know the highest are in the Trans Volcanic Belt, around parallel 19 degrees north. Not even people living in Mexico City realize that all the mountains surrounding the city, aside the obvious ones, are of volcanic origin.
What's cool about active volcanoes in many parts of the world, is that even before we started taking records on them, the indigenous people of these areas have passed down stories of eruptions over the years, and can give geologists a better picture of what was witnessed at the time, before settlers would ever set eyes on them.
First and foremost I really like your channel, love from Morocco . Also, WOW, craters are really fascinating! Like imagine there was a meteorite that traveled fow hundreds of thousands of km in space just to lande here on earth, the only thing that is even a witness to that it eve existed is a hole and some small rocks that once made it; so crazy and mind boggling!!
In a previous version of a video on this topic I inquired about the young looking cinder cones in far eastern Imperial County (near the Colorado River.) At that time you suggested they were due to the EPR/San Andreas Fault system. However, it occurs to me that they could be the most western of the cones which are found in SW Arizona; that is, due to the B&R extension. *Is there a way to delineate the maximal extent of the great Pinacate volcanic complex?*
I visited there a few years ago in late spring. It is about an hour north of the resort town of Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point). Great views of some of the craters mentioned in the video.
Very interesting video. I’ve seen lots of times Pinacate volcanic field from the air and it is such an spectacle. I hope I’ll have the chance to set foot there someday.
Hey Hubber (from my Washington State) ... you might want to compare the same era Uinta(h) Basin asteroid impact zone, that has the same size as the Cretaceous-Tertiary, Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-T boundary) asteroid impact zone of Chicxulub. 110 miles x 110 miles both sites. Same impact era of 65 MYA. *************************************** You might want to notice that the Oregon-California border of the Siskiyou-Klamath mountain range has 5 super-magma chambers under it, and the 2 most southern chambers are moving and merging together coming down to the west of Mount Shasta and Weed. This region is what is holding back the San Francisco and San Andreas fault zones from moving north. The same Grapevine basalt triangle, north of Los Angeles is what is holding back the Los Angeles-Baja peninsula landmass from moving north. If either of these 2 areas snap, then the whole West coast will caterpillar up into the new Pacific Northwest coastline of 100+ miles of new western land and ocean shoreline. All those ancient (Asian/NE Australian) Redwoods, Coast Cedar, and Sequoias will become a new feature that compliments their older relatives located in the Ginkgo Fossil Park, Vantage, WA and the John Day Fossil Beds John Day, OR.
It's disturbing how similar El Elegante and Arizona's Meteor Crater look despite their size difference. No wonder early explorers across the Americas were so confused about what kind of crater they were looking at in any one location.
Fun fact: Meteor Crater was originally thought to be volcanic. That wasn't a bad starting assumption since it's fairly close to the San Francisco Volcanic Field (which last erupted about 1K years ago and would be a good GH video subject) but it did turn out to be wrong. It took until the 1920s for science to generally accept that Meteor Crater actually IS a meteor crater; that this acceptance correlates in time with other big discoveries in astronomy (for example, this guy named Edwin Hubble...) is probably not a coincidence.
I would love to see a nice series on New Mexico volcanoes. Maybe even single episodes for some of the more famous ones. Maybe even mention how some of the mesa's around central New Mexico are like inverted landscape. The Albuquerque volcanoes are rarely covered by anyone and I don't think anything on youtube about them presently.
Interesting overlap of Arizona's and Mexico's volcanoe's 2'5 -1'5 million year's ago and the beginning of our ice age.beutifull and fascinating geology
I live just East of the Coso mountain range, south of the Owens Lake and have noticed lots of old lava flows spilling over the landscape from the 190 Death Valley highway to Little Lake along highway 395. Would you happen to know any information about that area, and could it ever potentially pose a threat? It's quite the site to see! Thank you for what you do!🙂
This is a pretty remote place lol. I know a small portion of it is in Arizona, but I don't think there is any way to even access it. Question, are there any good places in AZ to rock hound any obsidian or neat semi-precious minerals/stones?
I kept waiting for you to mention the largest crater of all, located at the fringe of the NW quadrant of of the volcanic field. ? I'm also curious why that crater doesn't even warrant a name on Google Earth.
Question: if a magma intrusion stalls at a very shallow depth, but the resulting freiatic(sp?) explosion exposes the magma, would that still create (and be called) a maar or would it cause or be called something else?
North middle and South Three Sisters volcanoes in Bend Oregon. There's a lot of earthquakes actually going on around that area. Can you do an update on that area. Thank you
I have a question that has been bugging me for quite a while now... One classification of Volcanoes is "Extinct". I once heard/learned that although a Volcano is declared extinct after 10,000 years of inaction, doesn't mean it won't ever erupt again, only that the odds are against it erupting again are slim. Someone said that of all the volcanoes that you want in your back yard, you want the extinct one. I don't think so. I'd rather have the dormant, because you don't just take it for granted and an extinct volcano means you've got nothing to worry about... It's my firm belief that Cats and Volcanoes have a lot in common in that, you can't boss them around and tell them what to do, you can't train them and they follow their own schedule, not man's.
I'm not sure about the volcano stuff, but MAN you nailed a description of my 18 yrs + 3-4 months old B & W tuxedo cat. After 13+ years together, he's barely learned one word of English, and despite my increasingly-frustrated, repeated attempts to train him in teensy ways - like not butting his head into the bowl as I'm giving him crunchies (thus causing me to dump them on the floor), or obeying a simple "No!", he remains resolutely, recalcitrantly, stunningly OBLIVIOUS. I tried to train him to walk on a leash connected to a body halter, so that I could take him on walks with my dog (where he ALWAYS trespassed on others' properties). I had to abandon the attempt, as he'd stubbornly lie down on the sidewalk and I was afraid that I'd get dinged for abuse of animals for pulling his body along the sidewalk. My sister commented that he had trained ME well. Certainly, he's a master manipulator. Now you have me worried about the dormant AND extinct volcanoes in the mountains where I live. If they're like my CAT... we're ALL in trouble here... Nonetheless, I like your apt comparison, Caetlyn Rose. Cheers!

The names Pinacate and Tecolote are Spanish words, thus every syllable is pronounced ... Pi-nah-KAH-teh and Te-koh-LOH-teh. St Lucia is a bit of a poser. The name is Spanish and so would be SAN-tah Loo-SEE-ah (in Italian, SAN-tah Loo-CHEE-ah). It is a British territory (after numerous conflicts with the French over it) and so the Anglicized name of Saint Lucia as pronounced in the video is most common.
Love the wild guessing at dates geology people work with (4min 19sec) 1.6m-2.5m years ago. Thats a large error range. Who cares about the odd 900000 years. A mere blink of an eye
The Earth is 4.5 BILLION years old. Species Homo sapiens has existed for only about 300K years. All of recorded history covers only the most recent roughly 5000 years. We are totally Johnny Come Lately to our own history, much less to geologic history. The farther back you look, the larger the date ranges get, as events bury prior events under layers upon layers, processes like erosion happen, and the crust is constantly in motion. So, depending on what specifically you're looking at, a date range of 900K years may be practically nothing. Until we develop better dating techniques, such inaccuracies are just the nature of the beast.
Please don’t be influenced by insidious current attempts at denial of Christianity. Reject "common era" stuff (CE & BCE). BC and AD define the years of Our Lord.
Which is precisely why they are not suitable for a worldwide activity such as vulcanology (and every other science), or indeed the membership of this channel which is from virtually every country on the planet.
Because of the large time periods geology covers, age is expressed in "Years Before Present" or YBP. Trying to keep the 2000 years since our Lord was born in the calculation usually doesn't show up, and when it would be significant adds confusion. I, too, reject CE and BCE. But YBP makes perfect sense when expressing geological time.
This is not an AI voice, it is Tim's natural voice which is affected by his autism. And if you find autistic people creepy and weird, you have a LOT of learning to do.

It's crazy a volcano has a bigger crater than a meteor hitting earth just a few hundred miles from each other.
I visited there a few years ago in late spring. It is about an hour north of the resort town of Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point). Great views of some of the craters mentioned in the video.
So cool! It took me about 3 seconds to find this on Google Earth.
Lots of great trails around there. That rock is really sharp. It chews up 9 ply Kevlar tire sidewalls.
In the Solomons people gathered razor sharp basalt and traded it with people hundreds of miles away.
Very interesting video. I’ve seen lots of times Pinacate volcanic field from the air and it is such an spectacle. I hope I’ll have the chance to set foot there someday.
I camped on the rim of Cerro Colorado many years ago. An awesome experience! The whole Pinacate region is very fun!
This was such a fascinating video. I'll have to look into the legends surrounding eruptions at this volcano. I bet they're fascinating! :D

This is one of my favourite volcanoes. It’s so cool visually and geologically. It’s basically igneous art and I always go back to it in google earth.
I've seen that monster from the air. Even from 35,000 ft it's hard to miss.
A geothermal power plant + water desalination facility would work well here.
Thanks.
