Taal just produced a new volcanic eruption via a series of 9 small phreatic eruptions, thus increasing the overall number of erupting volcanoes to 51. Since I made this video on Friday, Taal had not erupted as of yet. However, I did already have Taal under my highest category of unrest, "Significant Unrest".
GeologyHub Would you be so kind to remind me what the MOHO is. I know it has something to do with the crust- mantle junction. I just don't remember exactly what though.
Another great update! If I may provide constructive feedback, when you show before/after shots (specifically in this case of Hunga Tunga), could you fade from one to the other instead of quickly swapping? The quick change makes it harder to realize how much got blasted out of the caldera.
note if you're watching on a tv/computer monitor you can see the outline of the island before the eruption compared to whats left of the islands.. might not be as visible on smaller screens.
Thanks so much for the videos. One request could you do a video about the Heimaey volcano eruption in Iceland that almost destroyed the major fishing town on the island in 1973. Thank you so much for all the things you are doing on this channel. Your biggest fan from Iceland and a studying volcanolagist and a siesmolagist.
Do not worry, I plan to cover that volcano. The locals, despite losing a number of structures, successfully utilized seawater to divert the lava flows.
I like your videos very much! They are straight forward. Facts only. No speculation. A rarity here in UA-cam! Thank you for that! Greetings from Oklahoma…
I love your posts... would love to see an educational series teaching volcanology... quick blurps... starting with types of rock coming from which kind of volcano flow and where there are volcanoes of each sample. (For us hobbiests that haven't researched it in a book) Also, you state quickly at the end a list of erupting volcanoes, it might be an idea to share a few of those at a time by region.
Check out Nick Zentner's channel of lectures and classes (some complete semesters!) on geology, with much on volcanism. He generally focuses on Washington state, but is info that is generally applicable.
I have followed your channel since the Geldingadalir Eruption started in Iceland 10 months ago. I like your style of how you comment on worldwide volcanic events. Very professional and down to the point. No speculations or doomsday talk. Thank you for that. At the end of each video you ask for input on an interesting topic. Actually I have one that I am interested to very much. It might be beyond your scope as a vulcanologist though. I live in New Mexico on the eastern edge of the Rio Grande Rift zone, which has caused intense volcanic activity in the past. You have covered the close to my home Carrizozo lava flow briefly in a past video about New Mexico active volcanic systems. My questions are: Is the Rio Grande Rift zone still active? What has caused/is still causing the rift? What would be a good source when it comes to scientific papers or books/documentaries to dive deeply into this topic? I would like to learn about, why the state in which I live, has these geologic features that I can see today. Thank you.
@GeologyHub I have an idea for the beginning of the video. When you mention the number of currently erupting volcanoes, the number sightly changes each week. It would be interesting to know what changed. Could you name the volcanoes which stopped or started an eruption?
I’m travelling to Indonesia next month would be great if you did a video on any active volcanos or any predictions on eruptions 🙏 many thanks for your videos so far this is my favourite channel
Depends on what part you are traveling to. A few volcanoes are actively erupting there such as Merapi, Semeru, Krakatoa, and Lewotolo. I noted signs of unrest at Rinjani and Ibu so they could also produce a new eruption
I love your channel and the wealth of information! However, if I may humbly request that you please slow down and take a pause here or there in order for the viewer/listener be able to digest the information better.
Don’t forget Sakurajima, Japan. It has become very active with an eruption on 28 Jan 2022. What is ‘concerning activity’ as it seems of late a lot of large dormant volcanoes are rumbling to life.
When is Sakurajima NOT erupting? Back in 2009 when I forecasted the weather for flights across the Pacific for the USAF, Sakurajima was one of the volcanos we regularly kept tabs on because of ash.
A small suggestion, if I may. Leave text items up a little longer so that people can scan them and decide if they want to pause to read it in full detail. You flash eruption and activity lists on screen way too quick for most people to get anything out of them without pausing the video.

@@azmountains4113 Thank you. I recently had to take over my parents home not far from Mount Baker. Interesting information. And from the map at the end of the video this house is right in one of the yellow zones.
@@paisleykitty7 If you are in a yellow zone, just be aware that you are in a risk area for lahars, albeit most eruptions should not cause damage. However, I recommend checking your home insurance and getting a volcano insurance rider. Makes sure it specifically covers lahars, which the insurance company may try to write off as “just a flood”. I’m assuming that the house in question is located in a fjord of sorts? It’s a very pretty area.
You might want to update on your South Sister from Oregon video as at today, geologists have confirmed that South Sister is experiencing new uplift/ground deformation again since June 2020 to August 2021, as they detected around 2.2 cm uplift at 20 kilometer diameter by five kilometers in west from South Sister and it is still continuing since August 2021. Geologists have confirmed that small intrusion of magma has been accumulating under seven kilometers under the ground as well. News has been updated on VolcanoDiscovery, CVO and few other sources. Cheers!
Where and how do you get access to this land deformation data? There's an interesting swarm of earthquakes happening in western Iceland that I'd like to monitor more closely..
Sentinel, there’s also a few sites I can link you to. The issue is that passes are only made near highly active volcanoes. Davidof is only included due to satellites monitoring nearby Semisopochnoi which is erupting. Here you go: sarviews-hazards.alaska.edu The area around Krysuvik IS being monitored
@@GeologyHub I would very much appreciate all the data I can get my hands on :) I'm not a geologist so I'm not quite 100% on how to read the map but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks for the link!
An interesting video would be an analysis of cartoon/movie volcanoes/ geologic events. I think it would be fun to showcase Hollywood's potential knowledge of geology Or lack there of...
Hey just wanted to ask about the volcano on mount surabachi, the place of the iwo Jima flag raising, some say it may erupt soon because of how some of the ships that were sunk have risen up I believe its 17 meters and I believe they were off shore a little bit but I'm not sure. Any how could you possibly find any information on the iwo jima volcano
Always enjoy seeing these updates! Am i right that you have not yet covered the Volcanoes of Ambrym Island in their own video yet? I also find the footage of the lava lakes there (or previously there) to be quite hypnotic!
I'm hearing about several earthquakes occuring in Peru (today there was a 6.5 magnitude earthquake). While small earthquakes are common in that area, I was curious if there was any with a magma signature or if it related in anyway to possible volcanic activity in the region.
Great vid, as usual, although I wish they were longer. :) So, can't find any RSAM graphs on Tonga, not on NZGNS (New Zealand), AGGA (? Oz geo services), etc. USGS claims recent eq are post-eruption movements along existing faults. Anyway, 4.5-5.3 eq routinely happen around Tonga (ESMC). Often multiple a day going way back into 2021, which is as far back as I've looked. The majority are at a depth of 10km. What is your source for < 4.5mag eqs? I can't find any. Why do you think recent eq are magmatic? Tks!
Great channel that finally YT decided I may like. My father is a marine biologist that would bring various specimens home of the local geology for my rock collection including vials of ash. He also brought me the local stamps with my favorite being geology related so I have many from places that are now history or of volcanoes and geysers that closed up from geologic process'.
@@GeologyHub Yes on the fossils. Not sure about black smokers though he has videos of some in the Gulf of Mexico with their own ecosystem of giant shrimp, giant razor clams and many more examples.
Great question that I had asked a long time ago in regards to the Hawaiian Islands but can't remember the reason so let's get your comment liked more for attention.
Because they lie below the continental plates that travel above them. Hot spots don't actually move but the continents do albeit in one direction like the North American plate which moves in a south and west direction over the Yellowstone hotspot. It is a weak spot of very hot material below the lower mantle from the Earth's core. It takes thousands of years to notice the motion from older locations on the continents itself.
Can you do a video on Spirit Lake? The one by Mt Ste Helens. It is haunted to be on the shoreline knowing that there was hotels and campgrounds around the shoreline before the 1980 eruption. Man, I wish I can see it in its heyday
For the numbers of eruptions being seen as normal I'm curious if there is a figure for major eruptions or large volcanoes becoming active after a long rest
You have to think of a certain level of natural inputs as being part of the background normal levels for the planet.. The problem is anthropogenic inputs have been poured on top of that normal range. 🤔 The other aspect to the problem is the increased damage we have also caused to the natural buffering and rebalancing systems.
Thanks for the update. As a point of reference, with the Tsunami as the after effect of sub oceanic caldera, could such events be construed t9 be a consideration in the semi mythical stories regarding the ancient Greek belief in the Kraken as being controlled by Neptune, the God of the Oceans? Since we hav3 a greater understanding of the nature of such events, it could be a means by which these peoples rationalized natural events.
Could you add or estimate the toxic volume of material that erupt and add that to the video's ? , its nice that everything is blamed on CO2 but you never hear about the pollution of volcanic activity.
40 - 50 concurrently erupting volcanoes is NOT “typical” considering that number is at least 400 - 500% higher than it was in the 1990s. These eruptions will become more intense as the Nemesis star system continues its flyby through ours.
You are forgetting to mention the queen Maude mountains in Antarctica, the rift zone running through them southwards towards the pole, the Area of East Antarctica south of Australia, the West Antarctica rift and llume system behind Thwaites glacier, And South and central Greenland Beneath it's Ice cap. Which has just suffered a full southeast coast flank collapse. The SO2 readings in all these areas are magnitudes higher than ever before seen. With papers now published linking DO warming events on a 1500 year cycle to bipolar SO2 spikes in the ice cores, go figure.
i wonder if a volcano caldera collapse underwater could make a island itself also slide down into ocean. Maybe that is what happened to lots of lost cities in the past.
@@Ampol_Petroleum by "exploding" do you mean "erupting"? The thing to remember is that even a very small eruption (think small pimple compared to a large boil), would also be registered. The planet will do whatever it wants. There have been and always will be, for the foreseeable future, times when there have been more or less than the "average" per day, week or year.
Define massive shift?! The fastest tectonic plates move at most a cm per year or the rate at which your finger nail grows. And keep in mind also that when a major earthquake happens it is not because the entire plate moves, but just a portion of the leading edge making contact with another plate. Now the forward movement may jump several feet ( think Tohoku Quake 2011) or more causing a dramatic earthquake generally they move very slowly. I don't exactly how big a jump can occur in a massive quake.
Is there any relation to magnetic north moving/pole swap and location relative to volcanic activity's now and in the past? Could the region that syncs the van Allen belts build up resonant energy and the relative cooling effect of the polar regions no longer a factor?
@@charlesbates9563 makes sense and what I thought, I am curious if the increase in heat/radiation is causing a reaction I e. Eruptions which then in turn cause varying degrees of a nuclear winter.
If 40-50 are average and we are at 50, what number would make you think something unusual is happening? I wonder if earth's recently-reducing electromagnetic field may be increasing the sun's solar forcing upon the earth.
1 the magnetosphere has minimal impacts on the warmth reaching earth. The sun's warming is modeled almost exclusively through black body radiation which arrives as light, not charged particles and as such is unaffected by magnetic fields. 2. Solar forcing is the name for the above warming through light, which has negligible (effectively 0) impact on volcanism, only on the surface temperature of the planet which affects climate and weather. 3. A change in the magnetosphere does indicate a change in the outer core, so that could be an indicator of changes to the mantle that may affect volcanism but even that feels like a stretch.

You might be confusing actively erupting volcanoes vs active volcanoes which erupt periodically and stop for a while up to a few weeks. Geldingadalur up in Iceland did on occasion stopped erupting a few times for a few days before it stopped erupting completely though it may still be considered active. Actively erupting volcanoes does run about 20--30 in a given day. And active volcanoes that are erupting more sporadically is about 50 per day.
@Harrison Drews Tell me now, do you actually think that IF (note that word), Yellowstone had a super eruption it would not affect you, your family or loved ones? The resulting ash fall and climate cooling would produce famine on a global scale unlike anything that you've considered. If you want to get some idea of the results, there are plenty of academic papers and books on the global effects of the Tambora eruption. Try reading the works of academics such as Wolfgang Behringer to understand just how many deaths worldwide such an eruption can cause.
@Harrison Drews Harrison, irrespective of your confidence in Australia being self sufficient at the moment, a real super eruption, especially in the tropics would seriously affect the climate globally which in turn would alter growing seasons, crop yields etc. Acid rain would certainly have an effect on aquatic life, so there's a good chance fish stocks would crash. Then there's the pollution of water supplies and the effect on all animal life, including humans. Famines often give way to infectious diseases including plague. In such a crowded world it would not be long before arguments on access to resources would lead to armed conflict at various levels. Throughout human prehistory and history the Haves get raided by the Have Nots. You might like to examine any evidence for the effects of the Tambora eruption on Australia's climate, flora and fauna. I've not personally seen any academic papers on it, but I'm sure there must be some in existence.
@sourav jaiswal millions already die every year due to starvation. Humans are responsible for the extinction of an unknowable number of species on this planet, I say it's time for nature to fight back.
Even if it did its at like 7% of its magma chamber and would be hardly any different from any of the other 50 erupting volcanos. Yellowstone makes for a great disater movie and fear mongering tool for tabliods but its practically harmless right now (by active volcano standards anyway).

The SO2 readings in all these areas are magnitudes higher than ever before seen.
With papers now published linking DO warming events on a 1500 year cycle to bipolar SO2 spikes in the ice cores, go figure.
This is not the beginning, this is not the end.....it is the beginning of the end.
Congrats on pronunciation...I give up after the 2nd Hunga...
i wonder if a volcano caldera collapse underwater could make a island itself also slide down into ocean. Maybe that is what happened to lots of lost cities in the past.
There is no city on the Hunga Tonga island that erupted. The nearest inhabited island is to the east about 60 kms.
why did so many volcanoes erupt on dec 9?
Perhaps you could explain your question better?🤔 (Although I suspect I know where this is going.)
@@melrichardson7709 On the chart of volcanoes exploding i noticed a bunch of them saying dec 9
@@Ampol_Petroleum by "exploding" do you mean "erupting"? The thing to remember is that even a very small eruption (think small pimple compared to a large boil), would also be registered. The planet will do whatever it wants. There have been and always will be, for the foreseeable future, times when there have been more or less than the "average" per day, week or year.
Is it possible that the plates are going to make a massive shift? No not a conspiracy idea just something I wonder about
Define massive shift?! The fastest tectonic plates move at most a cm per year or the rate at which your finger nail grows. And keep in mind also that when a major earthquake happens it is not because the entire plate moves, but just a portion of the leading edge making contact with another plate. Now the forward movement may jump several feet ( think Tohoku Quake 2011) or more causing a dramatic earthquake generally they move very slowly. I don't exactly how big a jump can occur in a massive quake.
It will cool the earth need more .
Is there any relation to magnetic north moving/pole swap and location relative to volcanic activity's now and in the past? Could the region that syncs the van Allen belts build up resonant energy and the relative cooling effect of the polar regions no longer a factor?
The continued fall in the Earth's magnetic field allows more cosmic radiation to enter the earth, activating more and more volcanic systems.
@@charlesbates9563 stop giving blatantly false information. Cosmic radiation has literally no influence whatsoever on volcanoes.
@@charlesbates9563 makes sense and what I thought, I am curious if the increase in heat/radiation is causing a reaction I e. Eruptions which then in turn cause varying degrees of a nuclear winter.
Mantle plumes?
Signs of the times.

What’s up with this guys voice. Does he think he’s mr underhill?
Just toot one to start a chain reaction. Scary but amazing
I don't think volcanos have a chain effect.
Mother Earth getting tired of our shit.. the renewal is near!
Did he say Dyke intrusion? Isn't that an unwanted visit from Rosie O'Donnell

If 40-50 are average and we are at 50, what number would make you think something unusual is happening? I wonder if earth's recently-reducing electromagnetic field may be increasing the sun's solar forcing upon the earth.
the real answer is that earth is concious and this is a warning
@@maximkikena622 The real answer is [shit I just made up]
1 the magnetosphere has minimal impacts on the warmth reaching earth. The sun's warming is modeled almost exclusively through black body radiation which arrives as light, not charged particles and as such is unaffected by magnetic fields.
2. Solar forcing is the name for the above warming through light, which has negligible (effectively 0) impact on volcanism, only on the surface temperature of the planet which affects climate and weather.
3. A change in the magnetosphere does indicate a change in the outer core, so that could be an indicator of changes to the mantle that may affect volcanism but even that feels like a stretch.
Or a celestial is about to emerge from below. Lmao

A statue of a pagan deity, Moloch, will greet visitors to the Roman Colosseum for the next few months. Why are some so upset at…
40-50 volcanoes is NOT normal. It used to be 15-20 as the normal range just a few years ago…
You might be confusing actively erupting volcanoes vs active volcanoes which erupt periodically and stop for a while up to a few weeks. Geldingadalur up in Iceland did on occasion stopped erupting a few times for a few days before it stopped erupting completely though it may still be considered active.
Actively erupting volcanoes does run about 20--30 in a given day. And active volcanoes that are erupting more sporadically is about 50 per day.
When will we all die due to supervolcano/asteroid? I want to see the end
🦇💩🤡
Still mispronouncing Tonga as “Tunga”. It’s starting to look deliberate because many have pointed this out, yet you continue to do it.
There are a lot more important things to be concerned about.
Imagine Yellowstone exploding. It would be the end of the United States. That's for sure.
@Harrison Drews 👍
A minor eruption from Yellowstone is more likely then a major one.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 yeah but I'm talking about the maximum energy output from that monstrosity.
@Harrison Drews Tell me now, do you actually think that IF (note that word), Yellowstone had a super eruption it would not affect you, your family or loved ones? The resulting ash fall and climate cooling would produce famine on a global scale unlike anything that you've considered.
If you want to get some idea of the results, there are plenty of academic papers and books on the global effects of the Tambora eruption. Try reading the works of academics such as Wolfgang Behringer to understand just how many deaths worldwide such an eruption can cause.
@Harrison Drews Harrison, irrespective of your confidence in Australia being self sufficient at the moment, a real super eruption, especially in the tropics would seriously affect the climate globally which in turn would alter growing seasons, crop yields etc. Acid rain would certainly have an effect on aquatic life, so there's a good chance fish stocks would crash. Then there's the pollution of water supplies and the effect on all animal life, including humans. Famines often give way to infectious diseases including plague.
In such a crowded world it would not be long before arguments on access to resources would lead to armed conflict at various levels. Throughout human prehistory and history the Haves get raided by the Have Nots.
You might like to examine any evidence for the effects of the Tambora eruption on Australia's climate, flora and fauna. I've not personally seen any academic papers on it, but I'm sure there must be some in existence.
Talk slower and more clearly.
I find that he talks at the right speed and is very clear. After you listen for a while you will agree.
I believe hearing aids are quite easy to come by nowadays.
Could be Mothra. Could be Globull Warming.
Hope yellowstone joins the volcanic song soon
Why would you want that?
@sourav jaiswal millions already die every year due to starvation.
Humans are responsible for the extinction of an unknowable number of species on this planet, I say it's time for nature to fight back.
Even if it did its at like 7% of its magma chamber and would be hardly any different from any of the other 50 erupting volcanos.
Yellowstone makes for a great disater movie and fear mongering tool for tabliods but its practically harmless right now (by active volcano standards anyway).
Would you throw yourself into it when it erupts? If your answer is no, why put such comment?
ALIENS TRIGGERING VOLCANOES? JUST A THOUGHT.
