The U.S. Geological Survey is technically a part of our government, so we already, technically, have that. You can't expect any President, or Congress, to take note of geological events such as this, especially on a tiny set of islands that are literally tens of thousands of miles from Washington D.C. So that's why they created the USGS in the first place. America's government, like ANY government (don't you dare make the mistaken assumption that ANY government on Planet Earth is perfect in some way!), has different groups that do different things. The USGS, like FEMA, was built to render fast warning, and aid, in the event of disaster. Certainly faster aid than any politician can manage, that's for certain.
@@doxielain2231 If someone tells me I live near an active Volcano, and has proof, then I'm going to pretty quickly find a way to move away from said Volcano. I don't need Washington DC to tell me I'm in danger. People should be more than smart enough to determine that for themselves. We don't need more scientists in our government. The American people need to wield more common sense for themselves, and their families. Nobody HAS to live near a Volcano. They simply choose to.

@@johndenicola6173 I did a 3D animated movie of the start of the 2018 volcanic event, by plotting ONLY the above sea level earthquake events. It shows clearly that the event started with a big move of the Hilina Slump which set everything else off. Also should be noted that 2 large EQ in the former Slump underwater remnants destabilized the Slump. www.nukepro.net/2019/11/the-hawaii-2018-volcanic-event-video.html This is being set off by magmatic nucleation of gases set off by very energetic Galactic Cosmic Rays which have increased steadily with the "Quiet Sun" and compression of Earth's magnetic field/shield.

Yeah I was there in July 2015. And the area is totally different now. My mom has a house in Pahoa. And has sent me pics showing me how different the entire area is. Nature is crazy. How quickly it can drastically change a large area to make it unreconizable.
Ben Stankiewicz CNN, CBS, MSNBC, ABC will all report how Trump caused this as soon as they can all get together and agree on how they are gonna claim he did it.....
i think the point is that when it wakes up, that little lake drains down into the magma and generates a massive steam powered explosion, like an industrial boiler accident times a hundred or even a thousand.
A crater can have more valleys to collect water. An example: Hverfjall in Iceland Also the deepest part could just boil the water away. That case the water would have come from precipitation and not from the water table. So a crater has not always a simple shape - just like you saw in the first pictures, there is a plateau. Maybe even a small pond or a puddle :)
@Justin RussIf your masters tell you humans are cause of "global melting", you're all in. Feb. 5 2019, CNN report: Since 2001 MNP has move 35 miles per year. If you haven't updated your devices since February's recalibration, and used your gps to find magnetic North you'd be facing West. Off by 1100 miles. Not movies REAL SCIENCE
@Justin Russ Dramatic? You told me to go watch another movie. For the last 2000 years Magnetic North has been a navigational absolute wandering a few inches per year. In the last 18 years it has moved 1000 miles in a straight line. Our magneto sphere has weakened to nearly 1/2 power in only 30 years. You're a zombie but won't know it until limbs start falling off.
@Justin Russ You looked it up. Wikipedia is for morons who do research after they make an argument. I've been following this for 2 decades. Since 2001 the north pole has moved an avg. of 34 miles per year, and 1100 miles in a straight line. Yes it could reverse, but were 570,000 years overdue for a flip. Negative energy? Try this, global warming is a lie used to perpetute fear, taxes and Sovereign control. New World Order. pdr
Are other wells in the area being monitored to assess whether sulfur dioxide levels could be migrating through the water table toward Volcano or other populated areas?
That would be a good question for that session. From what I could gather (and more of an assumption on my part), the fresh water of the water table is mixing with (absorbing) the SO2 that exists in the soils (volcanic rock, etc) that were produced in the magma flows - similar to salts being picked up in a river from soils and depositing into the oceans, hence salt water. It is my guess that the amount may be minimal and take some time to mix. Again, a good question, though.
The elements leaching into the crater pond won't move from their current location until the water has a reason to start flowing to other sources. As long as the water continues to flow into the crater, theres no reason to believe the sulfur and acidity will back-flow into the water table. I would also think that the porous pumice would be able to filter such things out given enough area seeing as it's not present in other areas with little to no activity.
Funny thing about water is that it always flows to the lowest point... So the answer is bloody obvious and reveals no conclusive data which is probably why the question wasnt posed
sulfur dioxide isn't particularly bad for you, at least in food. you don't wanna breathe that shit in. but it provides sulfur to the plants in the area which is an essential nutrient, and onions make your eyes burn cuse of sulfur dioxide. it turns into either sulfurus or sulfuric acid, i don't remember which one, when it mixes with water. i think probably H2SO3 instead of H2SO4, but i'm not 100% sure on that. (like maybe H2 gas is released, giving extra oxygens to the acid, idk) but unless it's in such high concentrations that it significantly acidifies the drinking water, it's not a health risk. it just smells bad. but it's actually really good for plants and their symbiotic microbes and fungi. considering the actual lake above the volcano is only pH 4, it's likely not affecting ground water in a way that's unhealthy for humans, though the water may smell distinctly more like eggs.
compared to hell its a nice cool bath. The fires of hell are white hot, the bad news is you never die, you just experience all the agony of death over, and over, and over, and over, and over etc. and then after a few million years you will experience it all over again, and again, and again, and it just never stops.

Eh.... It's interesting, but unless you love working in backwater places finding good jobs is difficult. I worked in lab/field geology for about 8 years... back to electronics and computers now. Data science for geology would be a good way to get in the door now with a computer science background.
What is the value of Science? To understand the physics of our universe and every intricate detail of it's outcome. I doubt the simulators care about us. All we have is curious scientists like him that make the difference between an educated populs or a dead one. This has now become absolutely clear to me.
What I want to know is if anything is growing in that lake. 70 `C, pH 4.5, and nice supply of sulfur are well within the growth conditions that thermophilic organisms are known to thrive in.
Good question, my guess would be: yes. I'm guessing there was a pre-existing thermophilic sulfur-liking bacteria in the ground water deep around the volcano, and those organisms would simply migrate in with the ground water and thrive.
Doesn't take much time because there's already critters living down there. They keep finding stuff living miles below the surface, buried for millions of years. Happily doing their thing. Makes me excited to find out what's potentially living down below the surface of Mars. Seeing as they've been detecting seasonal methane and oxygen , I suspect it's pretty likely.
@@OPrincessXJasmineO : 60 yards, a few inches everyday (let's say 2 inches). There is 36 inches in a yard. That is 18 * 60 = 540 days if activity continues unchanged, before the lake is fully grown.

I've been to Hawaii. It's very expensive. And it "rains" practically every day, at least it did then when I went. But it was more like a misty rain, you could stay out by the pool during the rain. How do they know none of this water collecting is from rainfall? They've even had snow for one of the first time in anyones memory.

Kilauea! It's enthralling and, in my opinion, the USGS, and local Govt, does an amazing job of keeping the public informed with the current status of the volcano. I hope that any activity is not as disruptive as that of 2018. Merry Christmas all and be safe.
Just no. Obviously you have absolutely no idea. The USGS is actively downgraded earthquakes, and just outright not even reporting earthquakes in the Oregon and Washington areas. You think that's an amazing job? to not report potentially life saving information? Don't think for a second they are keeping the public "informed", because they are doing the absolute opposite. I am sure if you do a bit of searching you'll confirm what I am saying.

Wow, there are some seriously ignorant comments here, and they cover a wide range of beliefs and opinions. When did giving an update on a crater pond by geologists become so controversial? As someone living a few miles from this area, maybe I can clear up some misconceptions about the region. First off, people here are like people most anywhere. Most work to support families, there are groups of retirees, some homeless. Most people are pretty nice, there are some that aren't and have turned to racism to justify their outlook on life. This area of Hawaii, is one of the poorer ones, and people here have their fair share of the problems associated with that SEC. White people are a minority, so they catch more than their fair share of low key abuse and mistrust, but not as much as some other groups, such as Micronesians. The Hawaiian Sovereignty protagonists are very vocal and everyone but themselves are tired of hearing about it, but most people are pretty tolerant of the ranting and raving. Without the volcanic activity, there wouldn't be any islands. The vast majority of the island is unaffected by the volcanic activity but you see the evidence of it everywhere. Even though I only live a few miles away and could theoretically experience a lava flow, it's not something I worry about. Nor do most people. Obviously, when dealing with nature on this magnitude, it is impossible to predict with 100% accuracy what will happen next. All the islands have experienced this and more. From lava, to massive landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis . At some point that will happen here, and if people are where it happens, there will be loss of life. There are higher than normal levels of various hydrogen sulfides, sulfur dioxides etc in the air. Sometimes its worst than others and is called Vog. Parts of the area experience very high rainfall. Sometimes you go from a 160" of rain to a desert in less than a few miles. There is a substantial water table contained within the land mass and supported by the more dense seawater. There appears to be separate water table(s) at different elevations due to varying porosity of stone trapping water. Most of the water quality is pretty decent, but areas near the magma experience various natural pollutants. Unless you live near the coast or in one of the dry areas, most people use catchment systems filled with rainwater. It is then filtered and typically UV treated.
J Denmark, thank you! I was just in the Big Island. I lived in Honaunau for years and my heart is still there. Volcano park was splendid as all the diverse terrains of the Island. It’s good to keep an eye on the activity of Kilauea, it’s their job and we’re watching this video for a reason. I have friends in Pahoa who didn’t evacuate and there they stay for many years. They don’t live in paranoia. I love that Island and my kids were born there so there is a deep connection for us that others may not get. Mahalo for your comments.
I believe the last question in the video , the question the woman was asking indirectly was: Is the volcano contaminating the groundwater a mile away ? The answer is or will be Hell yes ! So upgrade all the water filtration systems RIGHT NOW. Even if there is not eruption or explosion there will be increased contaminants in the groundwater.
Given that the pond is at the bottom of a inverted cone a steady 15cm increase in water level per day actually means that while the growth is steady flow rate into the pond is increasing rapidly.
Good question actually.. the surrounding area residents rely on rainwater not well water for their needs catchment tanks are used everywhere. Businesses truck their water in from lower altitude county water supplies which are safe for drinking.👍

@jediphilosopher Oh dear! That devious Hawaiian Volcano! "Waiting until I just give up waiting"... and then it will blow!! I'll wear a disguise - it'll never know it's me - hahahahaha
it won't. It's different type of volcano. You want to avoid the volcano's with silica rich magma. The hawian chain has some small threats (like falling into an old lava tube, steam vent, fissure, etc) but no real crazy stuff. The magma feeding the islands chain has more iron and stuff and less silica since it is not coming through a continental plate, but instead through the relatively thin oceanic crust.

It is by USGS scientists who advise the local government regarding safety, which is why it’s rarely in the headlines - well, that and not many Aussie tourists.
This volcano will now have a rest for another 15 years. Next time it blows, the place will not have a peak. It will blow sideways and take off a big area.
So the usgs message is they are not sure of anything could be bad could be nothing so hold your breath and count until usgs figures it out like when it blows up or when it dosnt ? Maybe if and when
Yeah, the summit collapsed on Aug 2, 2018 and eruptions in the east rift zone dropped off a couple of days later. Until then it was crazy, though, if you look at the USGS QuakeMap data for the period up until Aug 2018, there were upwards of 600-700 earthquakes registered PER DAY (all magnitude 4.0 and lower). I think they even started filtering them out as a new channel because it made the app and website nearly useless.
The magma chamber is many miles below the mountain, in the Ocean floor crust, the mountain/island is just the pipeline to the surface. That makes it even more amazing IMO.
The island gets lots of water from rain in any kind of mountain. While the water is under the soil and rock its seeping downwards covered. This means that even while there's heat the water can't evaporate so its still constant in being there, and while moving downhill can seep out into the center of the cone. At least this is my understanding. I am not an expert. The idea that water can't evaporate while covered by rock, mud, and dirt should hold even if people have other ideas. And the water could flow downwards. This is reasonable. Ice pack snow flows in normal mountains do this, often creating what people call artesian wells in other places of the west. (By mentioning artesian wells I'm referring to normal non-volcanic Rocky Mountain snow pack ground flow melt flows, not those that are volcanic and dangerous for human consumption.)
In the first diagram there is a lava tube beneath the crater with separate water systems on either side. The next diagram shows water and no lava, did the hot spot just disappear or was this a different kind of system?
But a geothermal operation can drill into the flank of an active volcano_god for the purpose of running turbines to produce electricity? The whole groundwater-meets-volcano thing is a bit more complex than a 6th grade geology textbook's cop-out of a diagram. The 2018 'eruption' changed the whole superstructure of the magma chamber. -I'm guessing If I were Hawaiian I would DEMAND a public inquiry into the nature of the relationship between PGV and the USGS.
I love raw nature like this. If I had the money, I would vacation to different volcanos around the world and fill tiny vials with this lake water as a souvenir... Question is would customs let me bring them home?
We are entering a period of Global Cooling. During the Maunder Minimum the sun radiated less heat. Wheat prices rose 400% in the UK. But Dr Valentina Zarkhova has noticed that more significant than the slight global cooling is the reduction of the sun's magnetosphere. This allows more cosmic rays (nuclear particles from distant decaying stars) to strike the earth. The New Madrid fault had a major quake on 12-25-1699 during the Maunder Minimum. During the Dalton Minimum, the New Madrid fault had 4 quakes on 3 days in 1811-1812. Japanese scientists also noted an increase in the number of volcanoes during a Grand Solar Minimum. The likely cause of the increase in both quakes and volcanoes is the increased number of cosmic rays energizing the earth.
@@BillyMeierInFrenchBM Whether the climate is heating more or less, It's insignificant for water weighs the same in whatever form it is in. This was not a video about climate change (or anything political or not), it was merely a report about the lake forming in the volcano.
@@johndenicola6173 Contact Report 476 This is not harmless, however, because tectonic movements are resulting through the relaxation, through which earthquakes of all strengths are increasingly released. In another way, through the emerging melt-water the sea level is rising, through which the coastal regions are plagued by new hydraulic pressure. As a result, the underground is changing, however at great depths, where great magma-masses are moved and driven into volcanoes, which leads to new and increased volcanic eruptions. (Billy Meier)
Dutchsinse is an idiot who uses word salads full of BS to make people think he knows what he is talking about, but really he knows nothing. Another thing he does is use that word salad to state all sides of an argument so that if something does happen, he can claim that he "predicted" it.
Exactly what I thought! Dutchsince said this so long ago! And got shut down for it and here we are 1+ years later this is exactly what he said. Potentially Explosive sulfur water/lake forming in the bottom and it's not going to be boring when we watch what's coming when it interacts. Way to go Dutchsince once again.
Why can't the USGS make a definitive statement about how they think people should not be allowed to build homes near Kilauea? It's obvious they are concerned about explosive activity, now that the lake has appeared and is growing. Someone at the USGS needs to step up and say what they are "implying". They need a Leader. Someone to come out and make a decision, one way or another. That is what the people of Hawaii are waiting for, so they can move on. Don't leave them hanging!
Bo Diddly science is about collecting evidence and being as certain as possible without jumping to conclusions before the evidence supports that conclusion. At this point any ‘leader’ could be dead wrong.
It's not quite that simple. You and I can predict this that and the other and if we're wrong that's it. The USGS on the other hand have to be absolutely sure before one of their scientists makes a statement as they have a responsibility that you and I do not and if they get it wrong there are serious ramifications for those involved.
Hydrothermal (steam) eruptions are violent but almost impossible to both predict on long or short term basis. NZ's White Island is a good example of this and it used to be highly restricted in access because it is so unpredictable. I grew up in NZ and access to the crater area was only allowed for scientists due to the hydrothermal risk - but given decades since the last blow, people get complacent and then they get caught out. It's likely to play out the same way in Hawaii and the USGS has to keep people aware of this without being accused of crying wolf if it doesnt happen next week or next month or next decade.
@@phreatomagmatic8016 I've been watching the USGS for 30 years and until I found Dutch sense I couldn't sort out the bulshit they were feeding me and they know what's going on they're not telling you. Dutch figured out stuff that they've been hiding for many years.
It might. That's what this man pointed out. Ash deposits from hundreds / thousands of years ago show highly explosive eruptions have occurred in the past.
The hot magma that is currently refilling the magma chamber, could turn the water in the water table to steam. Steam will expand rapidly, with explosive power. So basically he was saying, the next eruption could be quite dangerous with explosions. 🥴

A crater can have more valleys to collect water. An example: Hverfjall in Iceland
Also the deepest part could just boil the water away. That case the water would have come from precipitation and not from the water table.
So a crater has not always a simple shape - just like you saw in the first pictures, there is a plateau. Maybe even a small pond or a puddle :)

@Justin RussIf your masters tell you humans are cause of "global melting", you're all in. Feb. 5 2019, CNN report: Since 2001 MNP has move 35 miles per year. If you haven't updated your devices since February's recalibration, and used your gps to find magnetic North you'd be facing West. Off by 1100 miles. Not movies REAL SCIENCE
@Justin Russ Dramatic? You told me to go watch another movie. For the last 2000 years Magnetic North has been a navigational absolute wandering a few inches per year. In the last 18 years it has moved 1000 miles in a straight line. Our magneto sphere has weakened to nearly 1/2 power in only 30 years. You're a zombie but won't know it until limbs start falling off.
@Justin Russ You looked it up. Wikipedia is for morons who do research after they make an argument. I've been following this for 2 decades. Since 2001 the north pole has moved an avg. of 34 miles per year, and 1100 miles in a straight line. Yes it could reverse, but were 570,000 years overdue for a flip. Negative energy?

Are other wells in the area being monitored to assess whether sulfur dioxide levels could be migrating through the water table toward Volcano or other populated areas?
That would be a good question for that session. From what I could gather (and more of an assumption on my part), the fresh water of the water table is mixing with (absorbing) the SO2 that exists in the soils (volcanic rock, etc) that were produced in the magma flows - similar to salts being picked up in a river from soils and depositing into the oceans, hence salt water. It is my guess that the amount may be minimal and take some time to mix. Again, a good question, though.
I was wondering the same thing and was surprised that the question wasn’t posed.
The elements leaching into the crater pond won't move from their current location until the water has a reason to start flowing to other sources. As long as the water continues to flow into the crater, theres no reason to believe the sulfur and acidity will back-flow into the water table. I would also think that the porous pumice would be able to filter such things out given enough area seeing as it's not present in other areas with little to no activity.
Funny thing about water is that it always flows to the lowest point... So the answer is bloody obvious and reveals no conclusive data which is probably why the question wasnt posed
sulfur dioxide isn't particularly bad for you, at least in food. you don't wanna breathe that shit in. but it provides sulfur to the plants in the area which is an essential nutrient, and onions make your eyes burn cuse of sulfur dioxide. it turns into either sulfurus or sulfuric acid, i don't remember which one, when it mixes with water. i think probably H2SO3 instead of H2SO4, but i'm not 100% sure on that. (like maybe H2 gas is released, giving extra oxygens to the acid, idk)
but unless it's in such high concentrations that it significantly acidifies the drinking water, it's not a health risk. it just smells bad. but it's actually really good for plants and their symbiotic microbes and fungi.
considering the actual lake above the volcano is only pH 4, it's likely not affecting ground water in a way that's unhealthy for humans, though the water may smell distinctly more like eggs.
It's getting ready to BLOW

What I want to know is if anything is growing in that lake. 70 `C, pH 4.5, and nice supply of sulfur are well within the growth conditions that thermophilic organisms are known to thrive in.
i doubt there has been enough time
Good question, my guess would be: yes. I'm guessing there was a pre-existing thermophilic sulfur-liking bacteria in the ground water deep around the volcano, and those organisms would simply migrate in with the ground water and thrive.
Doesn't take much time because there's already critters living down there. They keep finding stuff living miles below the surface, buried for millions of years. Happily doing their thing. Makes me excited to find out what's potentially living down below the surface of Mars. Seeing as they've been detecting seasonal methane and oxygen , I suspect it's pretty likely.

Just no. Obviously you have absolutely no idea. The USGS is actively downgraded earthquakes, and just outright not even reporting earthquakes in the Oregon and Washington areas.

Wow, there are some seriously ignorant comments here, and they cover a wide range of beliefs and opinions. When did giving an update on a crater pond by geologists become so controversial?
As someone living a few miles from this area, maybe I can clear up some misconceptions about the region.
First off, people here are like people most anywhere. Most work to support families, there are groups of retirees, some homeless. Most people are pretty nice, there are some that aren't and have turned to racism to justify their outlook on life. This area of Hawaii, is one of the poorer ones, and people here have their fair share of the problems associated with that SEC. White people are a minority, so they catch more than their fair share of low key abuse and mistrust, but not as much as some other groups, such as Micronesians. The Hawaiian Sovereignty protagonists are very vocal and everyone but themselves are tired of hearing about it, but most people are pretty tolerant of the ranting and raving.
Without the volcanic activity, there wouldn't be any islands. The vast majority of the island is unaffected by the volcanic activity but you see the evidence of it everywhere. Even though I only live a few miles away and could theoretically experience a lava flow, it's not something I worry about. Nor do most people. Obviously, when dealing with nature on this magnitude, it is impossible to predict with 100% accuracy what will happen next. All the islands have experienced this and more. From lava, to massive landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis . At some point that will happen here, and if people are where it happens, there will be loss of life. There are higher than normal levels of various hydrogen sulfides, sulfur dioxides etc in the air. Sometimes its worst than others and is called Vog. Parts of the area experience very high rainfall. Sometimes you go from a 160" of rain to a desert in less than a few miles. There is a substantial water table contained within the land mass and supported by the more dense seawater. There appears to be separate water table(s) at different elevations due to varying porosity of stone trapping water. Most of the water quality is pretty decent, but areas near the magma experience various natural pollutants. Unless you live near the coast or in one of the dry areas, most people use catchment systems filled with rainwater. It is then filtered and typically UV treated.
You know you aren't educating any of the nutballs right? But I appreciate your willingness to try.

it won't. It's different type of volcano. You want to avoid the volcano's with silica rich magma. The hawian chain has some small threats (like falling into an old lava tube, steam vent, fissure, etc) but no real crazy stuff. The magma feeding the islands chain has more iron and stuff and less silica since it is not coming through a continental plate, but instead through the relatively thin oceanic crust.
It will still be there, in fact, there's a high chance there will be more Hawaii than there was before 😁

U mentioned 2018? Has it already been a year since the last eruption?
Yeah, the summit collapsed on Aug 2, 2018 and eruptions in the east rift zone dropped off a couple of days later. Until then it was crazy, though, if you look at the USGS QuakeMap data for the period up until Aug 2018, there were upwards of 600-700 earthquakes registered PER DAY (all magnitude 4.0 and lower). I think they even started filtering them out as a new channel because it made the app and website nearly useless.
@@lucasthompson1650 , time flies. Thank you, Lucas.
Its pretty drastic changing world
So you have a lake...
And withdrawal pains from all the attention in 2018.
I would like to see where the water is in relation to the magma chamber. How is water seeping in if magma is below lake? Isn't it too hot
The magma chamber is many miles below the mountain, in the Ocean floor crust, the mountain/island is just the pipeline to the surface.
That makes it even more amazing IMO.
The island gets lots of water from rain in any kind of mountain. While the water is under the soil and rock its seeping downwards covered. This means that even while there's heat the water can't evaporate so its still constant in being there, and while moving downhill can seep out into the center of the cone.
At least this is my understanding. I am not an expert.
The idea that water can't evaporate while covered by rock, mud, and dirt should hold even if people have other ideas. And the water could flow downwards. This is reasonable. Ice pack snow flows in normal mountains do this, often creating what people call artesian wells in other places of the west. (By mentioning artesian wells I'm referring to normal non-volcanic Rocky Mountain snow pack ground flow melt flows, not those that are volcanic and dangerous for human consumption.)
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex
The roof of the magma chamber is very shallow only about one kilometre below the summit.
Thank You ..... ✌
good work
Interesting. I've been reading that during a GSM earthquakes and volcanism increase.
In the first diagram there is a lava tube beneath the crater with separate water systems on either side. The next diagram shows water and no lava, did the hot spot just disappear or was this a different kind of system?
But a geothermal operation can drill into the flank of an active volcano_god for the purpose of running turbines to produce electricity?
The whole groundwater-meets-volcano thing is a bit more complex than a 6th grade geology textbook's cop-out of a diagram.
The 2018 'eruption' changed the whole superstructure of the magma chamber. -I'm guessing

We are entering a period of Global Cooling. During the Maunder Minimum the sun radiated less heat. Wheat prices rose 400% in the UK.
But Dr Valentina Zarkhova has noticed that more significant than the slight global cooling is the reduction of the sun's magnetosphere.
This allows more cosmic rays (nuclear particles from distant decaying stars) to strike the earth. The New Madrid fault had a major quake
on 12-25-1699 during the Maunder Minimum. During the Dalton Minimum, the New Madrid fault had 4 quakes on 3 days in 1811-1812.
Japanese scientists also noted an increase in the number of volcanoes during a Grand Solar Minimum. The likely cause of the increase in
both quakes and volcanoes is the increased number of cosmic rays energizing the earth.
CO2=> heat=> ice melting=> mass of oceans increase => pressure changes on tectonic plates => more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
@@BillyMeierInFrenchBM Whether the climate is heating more or less, It's insignificant for water weighs the same in whatever form it is in. This was not a video about climate change (or anything political or not), it was merely a report about the lake forming in the volcano.
@@johndenicola6173 Contact Report 476
This is not harmless, however, because tectonic movements are resulting through the relaxation, through which earthquakes of all strengths are increasingly released. In another way, through the emerging melt-water the sea level is rising, through which the coastal regions are plagued by new hydraulic pressure. As a result, the underground is changing, however at great depths, where great magma-masses are moved and driven into volcanoes, which leads to new and increased volcanic eruptions.

If the volcano in New Zealand has let off steam does that mean that others in the ring of fire will also start showing signs of activity?

It's obvious they are concerned about explosive activity, now that the lake has appeared and is growing. Someone at the USGS needs to step up and say what they are "implying". They need a Leader. Someone to come out and make a decision, one way or another. That is what the people of Hawaii are waiting for, so they can move on. Don't leave them hanging!
Bo Diddly science is about collecting evidence and being as certain as possible without jumping to conclusions before the evidence supports that conclusion. At this point any ‘leader’ could be dead wrong.
It's not quite that simple. You and I can predict this that and the other and if we're wrong that's it. The USGS on the other hand have to be absolutely sure before one of their scientists makes a statement as they have a responsibility that you and I do not and if they get it wrong there are serious ramifications for those involved.
Hydrothermal (steam) eruptions are violent but almost impossible to both predict on long or short term basis.
NZ's White Island is a good example of this and it used to be highly restricted in access because it is so unpredictable. I grew up in NZ and access to the crater area was only allowed for scientists due to the hydrothermal risk - but given decades since the last blow, people get complacent and then they get caught out. It's likely to play out the same way in Hawaii and the USGS has to keep people aware of this without being accused of crying wolf if it doesnt happen next week or next month or next decade.
Look to history . Time and time again people living near a volcano tend to get fucked ! So don’t live near a volcano simple as that
@@phreatomagmatic8016 I've been watching the USGS for 30 years and until I found Dutch sense I couldn't sort out the bulshit they were feeding me and they know what's going on they're not telling you.
Dutch figured out stuff that they've been hiding for many years.
If it ever erupted again would this cause it to be highly explosive?
It might. That's what this man pointed out. Ash deposits from hundreds / thousands of years ago show highly explosive eruptions have occurred in the past.
The hot magma that is currently refilling the magma chamber, could turn the water in the water table to steam. Steam will expand rapidly, with explosive power. So basically he was saying, the next eruption could be quite dangerous with explosions. 🥴
And still less deadly than outback Australia... 😁 😜 😂
Or out front New Zealand.
Looks just like my bathwater!
eeeeeuww.
Yeh , I'm incontinent too
Caaaaaaaannnnooooooonnball.
New Zealand needs to spend on monitoring equipment. Very sad to have many dead from an eruption of a tourist volcano.
I thought he kept saying “like” but he meant lake?? Umm... just me??
Wonderful up-date. Thank you for this post. I wonder whether Pelee will return to Halema'uma'u?
with the water that hot & the water seeping in constantly will deposit dissolved chemistry.
So it's not magma displacing water existing within the vent... Its
ground water.....
anyone got a link to the webcam?

you know how the internet works, right?
@@monkeyfunk8371 yep, 10,000 totally unrelated links when you search for "Kilauea volcano webcam" isn't that how it is supposed to work?
@@Guytron95 its not the internets fault if you cant narrow a search.
