I lived in Atlixco Puebla for 10 years. The soil is a perfect example of the give and take of volcanos . The farmland in the Atlixco , has very rich soil , a sandy with very few rocks or clay . Grade A farmland for veggies and flowers. This was made from many large eruptions, and the rich potash in volcanic ash.
Oh wow near to Popocatepetl Volcano which erupted a few days ago . My daughter lived in Cholula for nearly a year which is quite near to the majestic volcano.
Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Indonesia was formed from the eruption of Mount Toba 73000 years ago. With a length of 100 km with a width of 30 km and a depth of 505 meters, Lake Toba is a volcanic lake with a giant caldera.
New study suggest that Toba's last supervolcanic eruption could have actually erupted 13,200 km3 of tephra, making it the biggest eruption on our planet, and it will be the first ever VEI 9 and could be the only volcano that could produce this scale.

I find that a lot of volcano videos, especially super volcanic ones, simply explain what the things are. Grrr, it's stuff I know already!!! I don't need to hear it again!!
One of the best volcanic documentaries I’ve seen in a very long time. I’d never heard of Ilopango before this. It’s up there with Yellowstone on VEI 8 scale along with Toba and others. Thank you for doing a multi-scientific program.
So... two Volcanoes erupted at or Near Super Volcano intensity in the 6th Century. Cause it seems Krakatoa also went Kaboom around the same time no wonder the Dark Ages were well the Dark Ages..
@@nekuraookami it was like three or four, ilopango was one, then there was possibly krakatoa Sr, or an Iceland one was a contender, efkujoull was speculated, a north American one more mid, out west, and a Indonesian one, it didn't have to be krakatoa, their was a few other possible ones who are donate now.
What a great documentary, I'm from Mexico and the footage seen here from teotihuacan its a very very rare footage and the specialists from the INHA are real people not like other documentaries where they use actors instead of the real people..amazing documentary!!
Thank you very much for this information about this event there and thank you very much for the right name of this! I know about it from a book and a documentary about it a few years ago and I find it very interesting and astonishing, but also a little bit scary. The thought alone to have the same thing under the garden or in the neighborhood is really scary and it makes me feel a little unsafe! Sure I don't live in and near such an active volcanic region, but we all together got a glimpse of experience with the eruption of Mount Kilauea and the fisures around this volcano on the Hawaiian Island and in the last time scientists are a little concerned about the many calderas in the USA and Italy and many other volcanoes around the globe. I think if they will erupt, we can say goodnight and bye bye to the USA and Italy especially but also Hasta la vista to us all on this planet Earth because of this what is shown here in this documentary about it! So far : Panem et circenses and let the games begin in the moment of it and buy a few bottles of coke and a big meal and invite your friends and family and celebrate a big barbecue party and wait for the..... Lovely greetings from Sarah and have a wonderful, happy and peaceful day and stay safe out there and take care of you ☺💖🇺🇸☺💖🇺🇸☺💖🇺🇸☺💖🇺🇸☺💖🇺🇸
Couldn't give me a house in a multi-million population locked city. When a volcanic disaster hits one of these it's going to make the zombie apocalypse movies look like comic books. It's a matter of when it occurs; it's not an if it occurs situation.
post script: After watching this documentary it occurs to me that the only reason we've been able to build up our global society is due to a relatively peaceful group of eons with cooperation with the sun, space, and the planet. Any violent event by any of these three could easily cast us back to the stone age. The hunter gatherers would be the main survivors of such a disaster.
@@donnavorce8856 exactly. And the signs are beginning to emerge that the sun the magnetosphere etc are acting up. Please pass by Suspicious Observers Channel on You Tube they have an earth catastrophe cycle series that shows a cyclical 12000yrs...and time is almost up.
I heard, on another programme I watched the other day, that there's a new thought and theory on how we got water on our beautiful planet.... and it's becoming more popular amongst scientists. It used to be that "We got water on earth from comets with ice in them hitting the planet." Now, there's a theory that volcanoes gave us water through the water in magma. volcanoes give off steam which condenses in the air and then falls as rain.
San Salvador City sits between two volcanos, San Salvador Volcano (Quetzaltepeque) and the ilopango Caldera. Skyscrapers are being built in the flanks of San Salvador Volcano -_-
The Mississippian culture developed right after the ilopango eruption. I think the people who built Cahokia city and mounds in the USA were Mayan refugees escaping from collapsing Central American Mayan Cities through Yucatan Peninsula, crossing by boats via gulf of Mexico landing in the Florida Peninsula and Mississippi river. Infact Mississippian Culture sites date near after the ilopango eruption. Also many places in the US have Mayan names, such as Miami (Mayami)

That´s interesting because when an arqueological student in Florida, we excavated some puzzling mound sites near the Okeechobee Swamp, and my professor speculated on the possibility of Yucatan connections....
@@MaryOKC I hope so, everyone forgets Flegrei Camps that thew ashes and material past former Yugoslavia and Marsili ( under water super volcano), that is smaller than Yellowstone, but the caldera is filling faster.
The real threats are the supervolcanoes. Even though they erput very infrequently, if one erupted today, it would change the way we live on a global scale. The most well known has to be Yellowstone. But there are other ones as well, capable of claiming just as many, if not more lives. One of the largest is known as Toba (Indonesia), and then you have Taupo (New Zealand), which had the most recent super-eruption. This happened roughly 28000 years ago! But the one that poses the largest threat is located beneath the city of Naples. It's called Campi Flegrei Overshadowed by it's more frequently erupting sibling, Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei can produce enough eruptible material comparable to a medium-sized eruption at Yellowstone. A lot of people live in and around the caldera of Campi Flegrei, and as of today, this giant is showing signs of awakening
One interesting thing is that in order for a volcano to be a supervolcano, it must have done at least one VEI 8 eruption, which all of the volcanoes you noted are... except Campi Flegrei. That volcano's strongest eruption was no more than a VEI 7. The term supervolcano was only borned from a BBC documentary anyway, so there's no set rules.
As long as Campi Flegrei's younger sister nearby keeps erupting, there won't be enough magma build up to force Campi Flegrei to erupt with the immense power that he is capable of that would cause catastrophe on a global scale. Vesuvius draws much of her own power from Campi Flegrei's chambers. Campi Flegrei is starting to fire up again because Vesuvius has gone back to sleep. Vesuvius blew frequently from 1600-1944 but she hasn't gone since 1944. She hasn't lay in wait this long since the 17th century.
@@derekwall200 crater lake is yellowstone. the continent is moving but the hot spot stays where it is. culderas from whats now yellowstone can be traced all along a line to LA. its erupted thousands of times. But the culdera that LA is built in is still active. new york is also in a culdara of another super volcano.
@@cliffbird5016 You have just contradicted yourself. Any old caldera formed by the Yellowstone hotspot will be extinct as the magma chamber clearly isn't there any more
In 536 A D an apparent series of events including volcanoes and space impacts happened that caused a catastrophe lasting into the 540s. They know a massive volcano erupted in El Salvador around this time. And a writer in Indonesia described what was apparently one of the largest Krakatoa eruptions in history. There are sulphur compounds in ice core samples from both poles from this time indicating a giant eruption. Now they`re also finding indications of extremely powerful cosmic radiation events in tree ring data. These seem to happen once per 1000 years on average. But as powerful as the Carrington Event was it didn`t even register in the same tree rings. So civilization is in HUGE trouble! But there is also evidence of space impacts too. Did space impact trigger these eruptions?

Some of the segments of this video are several years old. In the section on Yellowstone they have a small piece of a NPS video featuring Hank Heasler. He transferred to another park 5 or 6 years ago and the video was made several years before that. It has also been used in the BBC movie, Supervolcano.

Pierre LeDouche, The volcano Popocatepetl located 70 kilometers S-E of Mexico erupted when the conquistadors arrived to Tenochtitlan. They even sent an expedition to observe the eruption. This is described in the chroniques of Bernal Díaz del Castillo.
@@allagatoral3839 don't forget long Valley's, cosco volcanic field and Salton Buttes existence. San Andreas used to be set off by water, but magma chambers and mantle plume's can do it as well. Aka look on report on a hot spot that's out in the alantic but once under the mandrid fault and cause some of it's worst ancient earthquakes, and there's that rumor about China lake.
@@jaffamonster2976 no...but I do love that show! There is a children's book that tells the story of the humble farmer out plowing his field and he suddenly plows up the volcano. It's a true story! The farmer was tore up he lost his plow. He had to just unhitch the animal and run as the earth rose and swallowed up his plow. I'm going to see if I can't find the title and author.
nah, some are actually extinct, for example the older hawaian islands or some german ones (sorry for mispronouncement of hawaiian, i don´t know how to do it right :( )
The big ones will affect us regardless of where we live. Eyafjallajökull stopped the air traffic and had economical consequences even here in Sweden. Scandinavia is not a hotspot though.
Don't believe what this doc says about Mayan civilization leaving behind only ruins. Their big-city infrastructures may have collapsed, but Maya culture survived in the traditions of villages throughout the region. They also kept a large variety of written histories that academics would be able to translate today... if only the Spanish colonials hadn't destroyed all but a handful of examples. Mayan spoken language exists to this very day, too, having continued to evolve despite centuries of subjugation of its speakers.
The good news is that they carved these same historical records on stone monuments as well as painted on ceramic urns. See David Stuart's catalog for more.
As for now, the best possible candidate (by dating and stuff) is Krakatoa. Krakatoa erupted around that time, but the dating of the wood found wasn't enough to confirm it, because the amount of wood was too small. That one created the 1883 Krakatoa. There is a documentary about Krakatoa's eruption of 535 AD somewhere on UA-cam.
If we can bore a tunnel under huge mountains, why can't we dig a one-mile deep, quarter-mile dia hole in the ground--a water tank--and a structure overhead (1 sq mi ) to catch rain water and store it? Plastic domes (with gutters around the perimeter and a series of pipes) to direct rain into the tank would not only preserve near-fresh water (which can be further refined), but could help lower sea levels. There would never be flooding, all would be protected from F5 tornadoes, and volcanic ash, and other events that could threaten health or life. In one such dome, 700 people could live very comfortably under controlled conditions (65F, 35DP). The hard-plastic domes themselves would sequester a lot of carbon. I'm talking about making thousands of such domes all over the world, each storing a tremendous amount of water. For each dome for residents, three domes would be devoted to growing food: fruit trees, soy beans, carrots, bananas--anything anywhere--including northern Canada. Food could be grown 12 months of the year. The energy for all this would have to be from an unlimited supply--which is another discussion. If humanity wants to save itself from world-wide disasters, this is something we should be thinking about
There's a bunch of stuff that makes me question the viability of your idea: 1- Light. Living under a dome would isolate us from the Sun's light, the one that gives energy to living beings for the day, as much for animals than plants & trees. This con would be at keast less significant if the top of the dome let's through enough light without giving to the weight of thrown projectiles, such as volcanic rocks. Which leads us to; 2- Natural disasters. One of the major things during the 79 AD Pompeii eruption was that buildings gave to the weight of the lapillis and bombs thrown by Vesuvius before the surges swept in. It told people back then that you're not safe anywhere, not even inside. Granted housing designs got better, but I don't think it can reach up to sustain anything thrown into them. Where I live, the biggest natural danger is flooding, and despite the latest designs, water will always find a way to move in, and that happened not too long ago, in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, a suburb of Montreal, when the protective dyke gave in. One thing I would add is earthquakes and tsunamis, would the domes be able to withstand sudden powerful quakes then the horrendous passing of water? 3- Electricity. In order to always put all of these domes under comfortable climates one needs to pour in a lot of electricity all year-on. And of course that doesn't count the sheer demand of electricity to run warehouses and plants. In order to have enough, we also need not just one source of renewable energy (thermal energy would be the best option in this case), but we also need a lot of them, and there aren't enough accessible thermal regions to build the required amount of thermal power plants imo. Just my 2 cents on this. I love how the producers of the documentary is still active on this video despite being almost 2 years old and rather than disabling the comments.
Karin Desmonds As if literature hasn't taught me that already. Every time the characters make the mistake of thinking they're safe, the greatest danger comes.
There’s a great UA-cam volcano trilogy about Campi Felegri in Italy. Deals with some of the same info as this documentary. The entire Naples area is sitting in an enormous caldera, just waiting for the right moment. I highly recommend it. Enjoy. 🖖 🇨🇦 🖖
"Oh! He's happy. He's just coughing." He's just having a bit of a sniffle, sneezing. With the puff of smoke @ the 17:56 mark, I can honestly see exactly why the warnings aren't taken seriously. I can't be sure if the volcano is actively teasing the s**t out of the locals or just grumbling like a teenager having a sulky tantrum. 🤷♀️🤔 Either way, one day he'll cough... then suddenly start projectile vomiting without warning. 😳
I've said for a long time that we are 1 or 2 large volcano events from the Stone Age. Well maybe the Bronze Age except without the life skills of the ancients. Its been at least 20 years since that dawned on me. Kind of like the more we know about volcanoes, the more we realize how unprepared and powerless humans are to do anything but flee. But you have to flee before the crowd or you'll be doomed with them. Evacuation of even a smaller city of 200,000 would be a cluster of chaos. But fleeing/evacuation is only the 1st big problem and for many people just a delay to their death from starvation, disease, lack of medicine for their chronic illnesses, and outright murder. If you evac a population with a large number of criminally minded people (like New Orleans) to another location (like Houston) the hostility will soon boil. The media covered up the mega problems of the New Orleans group caused in Houston. Besides ever hurricane evacuation along the Gulf Coast results in a gridlock traffic jam. This ramps up the anger/hostility level towards the govt and fellow escapees. A worst case would be moving South Chicago to central or western Iowa farmlands. That would guarantee a violent backlash from the locals in reaction to this totally different culture which contains a large number of predatory/lawless people. The clash would take less than a week before the locals fight back to defend themselves. In different regions of the USA the clash would be on the first day, I predict IMHO/life experience. I started studying disaster phenomena issues in the latter 1970's, especially when I got into govt employment. Back then it was nuclear attack responses but most people related issues are the same. For years the plan was sheltering in place until the radiation danger lowered. Then somebody in the Federal govt got the bright idea of evacuating large cities of 1 million or larger out to the "safer" countryside. Someone was smoking crack and ignoring ALL past experiences and knowledge of behavior to dream this up. A few years later the Dept of Defense did an in-depth study of how a nationwide disaster would effect Fed govt control etc. The first loss of control would be ignoring anything Federal (especially if the Feds cannot help). One point freely admitted and printed in the report was the USA breaking up into regional factions of like minded citizens. Example the western states of WY, MT, SD, ND, NE, KS, ID would be more likely to forge a coalition themselves, even having western Canadian provinces join them. The South or Deep South would do the same. A number of likely regional groups were mapped, basically the USA map would look more like Europe. Let's face it, there are areas where the people's mentality is actually irritating to others in times of peace, Boston/NYC for example, as well as So. California. The above is all bad enough. In my mind the worst to come is crop failures around the globe.

According to Hyman Rickover, it will take 6 months to learn the skills of a Bronze age person. It's also the amount of time it will take for the hundreds of millions in the US to kill each other down to a population of 20 million or less. 20 million people is all the arable land mass of the United States you can feed without technology.
Teotihaucan reached its zenith within the years 100 BC-650 AD,as to who built it is not completely known but presumed to be part of 2 cultures,Maya and Toltec,had a population of somewhere around of a hundred thousand,but the city predated the Toltecs,so most likely Maya,Mixtec and Zapotec,little is known about the city itself or why it collapsed,different theories to the poor revolting to possibilities of a volcanic eruption.
Mexico City is in more danger from earthquakes than Popo erupting, especially as its built on a lake bed so anything over M6 is likely to to cause Liquifaction, also has anyone ever looked at the lake bed being a caldera itself?
The mountain speaks through rumbling, groaning, and snapping which is drowned by the noises of the city and when she wants you to stop and listen, she will let you know.
I tend to agree that this narrator is erring very much on the side of dismissal - we ALL know (if not personally) that volcanic events have been the cause of the death of untold numbers of societies across the world - and it is STILL the root cause of the highest number of fatalities per recognised event, including those killed in Tidal Waves. ANYONE living within the influence of a live volcano is gonna be high-risk - but most of them don't have an option; most of 'em just stay put and hope for the best.
Yellowstone is not a STRATA VOLCANO like the Cascade mountains, Mt Rainier, and Mt ST Helens, etc! You can check with Nick Zentner a Geology professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, USA? He is free on the internet! Yellowstone is over a Hot Spot like Killowa on the Big Island in Hawaii. Because of Plate Tectonics when it last "blew" it was in Idaho about 65000 years ago. 🐈⬛🐈⬛👵My cats and me.
the local archeologist Sergio Goméz Chavéz refers to Xitle afterwards (23:12) but the edition set both scene so far apart from each other that no one can't relate; you have to watch again in order to link the name to the story on 21:32...
The actual geologic term for a "supervolcano" is a "resurgent dome caldera." The word "supervolcano" was created by the BBC for a special they did on Yellowstone.
i have lived in kansas all my life never seen a mountain in person looking at the stratovolcano timestamp 24:42 i feel like i'm about 1 8th of inch tall i'm guessing the base of that volcano is about 20 miles away but its so big its like its right in front of you

Whilst nowhere on earth is safe from a volcano Hong Kong was formed by a series of mega eruptions that last happened 140 million years ago. And until 2012, was not discovered to be a extinct super and as to its volcano colderia well it extends some 11miles or 18 kilometers in size and spewed out some 72 cubic miles or up to 300 cubic kilometers of ash and lava. Fortunately for us nowerdays it's long been extinct although much of Hong Kong and it surrounding Victoria harbour and the surrounding islands where once part of this colossal volcano. Evidence of this can be found at the now famous Geopark and also in sai kung in the form of rocks and samples of crystals recovred from the site.
The narrator sounds exactly like the Australian actor Robert Taylor (he played leading role as sheriff Walt Longmire in the A&E/Netflix series "Longmire" that ran from 2012 to 2017). I am sure it is him
..I wonder what caused the eruption of Mount Calbuco volcano in Chile, back at 21 April 2015.. Is it might caused by forming of gas that became under such high pressure that it just caused an explosive eruption..?? Or was it a mix of gas and uprising magma through the crust in combination with gas and became pressurised by a blockage of a lava dome..?? However..: It was for sure one the more bigger and freighting eruptions in Chile..!! Thank God that there was no one seriously killed or heavily injured..!!
Overall, a very good documentary, but the narrator should have had some help with the script. At one point he refers to the "SmithONian" in Washington - which of course is the SmithSONian. At another point he describes something or someone at "omniPOtent" instead of "omNIpotent. Not a big deal, but not very professionally done. I also noticed the description of the volcano that began erupting out of a cornfield, and thought at first that it was Popocetepetl because it was never named and had to look it up, and as someone has already noted it was instead Paricutin. Otherwise interesting geological and historical information and great video of the volcanoes and their surroundings.
World wide ancient stories of a world wide flood. And they didn't learn anything from that. And even today 80 years from WWII no one learned from that either. So good luck everyone!!
Maybe the tall temples in Teotihuacan and similar are dedicated to the volcano gods. The Gods who live in tunnels underneath - as found in Teotihuacan. So the locals build pyramidal temples to mimic volcano’s in the hope of placating the gods. And prayed to them and made sacrifices saying - “take these and leave us alone”? Chris Davies
@@hazardsandcatastrophes It occurred to me as I watched your programme. And why not? Haven't we always wondered why the people went to so much effort? Yet, there they are in an area where pyramidal volcano's are common and very destructive. Surely the populace would want to placate the gods who they thought lived under the volcano's and caused so much destruction? I'm a retired geologist so I always look for logic. ChrisD
Other than man-made (the wars of 1914-1945) the earth hasn't had a major catastrophe affecting millions or billions of people for several centuries now. We've been especially lucky since 1945; we haven't even had a bad flu epidemic for 50 years. It's past time for something to happen.
That's what I have been thinking. No huge volcano eruptions, no meteor impacts, just our global warming. But global warming means warmer seasons, warmer soil and sea, higher temperatures that help the flow of magma and such... Wel, we'll see what kills our first.
Beneath every volcano at its core center with the surface of the Earth is a spicule of magma, which generates heat at three to four thousand degrees. Ninety five plus percentage of all volcanoes are located near to a l;arge body of water.The heat from the magma core sucksw water from the underground table and turns it into super heated steam. Within the midsection of the volcanic mound a chamber is created which contains crushed magma and this pressurized steam. Volcanic ash makes the best and most hardest concrete and the chamber develops walls that may be as thick as fifty meters in diameter. Water converted into steam in some cases goes around the chamber and up into the surrounding area and is vented away from the mound as mountain streams. When the pressure in the chamber reaches a point where it can no longer be contained, The chamber blows up as a volcano. Millions of tons of the water ash mixture is blown into the atmosphere and down the sides of the mound as the familiar pyroglastic flow of hot mud. In many cases the top most part of the chamber fall back into the void created by the blown up chamber as a caldera. The process is repeated to be determined by the water source of the subsurface table. Mount St Helen's blows up in this fashion approximately every hundred twenty five to thirty five years. . .
Mexico City - What about survival shelters with self contained air supply systems? I’m surprised the drinking water isn’t already contaminated...the volcanic ash would clean up the filth in the rivers and streams by melting/burning and burying it.
@@hazardsandcatastrophes No!! I don't like volcanoes, I love volcanoes. I love watching documentaries. And movies that will lead to the end of the world.
I lived in Atlixco Puebla for 10 years. The soil is a perfect example of the give and take of volcanos . The farmland in the Atlixco , has very rich soil , a sandy with very few rocks or clay . Grade A farmland for veggies and flowers. This was made from many large eruptions, and the rich potash in volcanic ash.
Oh wow near to Popocatepetl Volcano which erupted a few days ago . My daughter lived in Cholula for nearly a year which is quite near to the majestic volcano.
Kudos to the narrator at 45:04. How long do you think he had to practice the name of that volcano?
At least he gave it his best shot! It took me half an hour, it gets you money off in bars in Iceland ;)
Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Indonesia was formed from the eruption of Mount Toba 73000 years ago. With a length of 100 km with a width of 30 km and a depth of 505 meters, Lake Toba is a volcanic lake with a giant caldera.

Thank you very much for this information about this event there and thank you very much for the right name of this! I know about it from a book and a documentary about it a few years ago and I find it very interesting and astonishing, but also a little bit scary. The thought alone to have the same thing under the garden or in the neighborhood is really scary and it makes me feel a little unsafe! Sure I don't live in and near such an active volcanic region, but we all together got a glimpse of experience with the eruption of Mount Kilauea and the fisures around this volcano on the Hawaiian Island and in the last time scientists are a little concerned about the many calderas in the USA and Italy and many other volcanoes around the globe.

Immaculate animations guys, truly inspired.
Couldn't give me a house in a multi-million population locked city. When a volcanic disaster hits one of these it's going to make the zombie apocalypse movies look like comic books. It's a matter of when it occurs; it's not an if it occurs situation.
post script: After watching this documentary it occurs to me that the only reason we've been able to build up our global society is due to a relatively peaceful group of eons with cooperation with the sun, space, and the planet. Any violent event by any of these three could easily cast us back to the stone age. The hunter gatherers would be the main survivors of such a disaster.

I heard, on another programme I watched the other day, that there's a new thought and theory on how we got water on our beautiful planet.... and it's becoming more popular amongst scientists. It used to be that "We got water on earth from comets with ice in them hitting the planet." Now, there's a theory that volcanoes gave us water through the water in magma. volcanoes give off steam which condenses in the air and then falls as rain.
@Nicholas P errrrrrrrmmmmm....NO.

San Salvador City sits between two volcanos, San Salvador Volcano (Quetzaltepeque) and the ilopango Caldera. Skyscrapers are being built in the flanks of San Salvador Volcano -_-
Blue Azul True. I hope i don't have to grab my popcorn.
The Mississippian culture developed right after the ilopango eruption. I think the people who built Cahokia city and mounds in the USA were Mayan refugees escaping from collapsing Central American Mayan Cities through Yucatan Peninsula, crossing by boats via gulf of Mexico landing in the Florida Peninsula and Mississippi river. Infact Mississippian Culture sites date near after the ilopango eruption. Also many places in the US have Mayan names, such as Miami (Mayami)
That´s interesting because when an arqueological student in Florida, we excavated some puzzling mound sites near the Okeechobee Swamp, and my professor speculated on the possibility of Yucatan connections....
That makes sense, but most remains of the towns are under water off coasts.
15:13 someone forgot about Volcanoes of Indonesia (147 volcanoes) Each volcano in Indonesia is listed that has erupted within the past 10,000 years.

@@MaryOKC I hope so, everyone forgets Flegrei Camps that thew ashes and material past former Yugoslavia and Marsili ( under water super volcano), that is smaller than Yellowstone, but the caldera is filling faster.
@@RejectedInch exactly!! And this one will blow...and catch folk unawares
The real threats are the supervolcanoes. Even though they erput very infrequently, if one erupted today, it would change the way we live on a global scale.
The most well known has to be Yellowstone. But there are other ones as well, capable of claiming just as many, if not more lives.
One of the largest is known as Toba (Indonesia), and then you have Taupo (New Zealand), which had the most recent super-eruption. This happened roughly 28000 years ago!
But the one that poses the largest threat is located beneath the city of Naples. It's called Campi Flegrei
Overshadowed by it's more frequently erupting sibling, Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei can produce enough eruptible material comparable to a medium-sized eruption at Yellowstone.
A lot of people live in and around the caldera of Campi Flegrei, and as of today, this giant is showing signs of awakening
One interesting thing is that in order for a volcano to be a supervolcano, it must have done at least one VEI 8 eruption, which all of the volcanoes you noted are... except Campi Flegrei. That volcano's strongest eruption was no more than a VEI 7.
The term supervolcano was only borned from a BBC documentary anyway, so there's no set rules.
its any volcano with a VEI rating higher than 7. like Mt Toba, Tambora, and Mt Mazama (crater lake CA) which can cause significant global impact
As long as Campi Flegrei's younger sister nearby keeps erupting, there won't be enough magma build up to force Campi Flegrei to erupt with the immense power that he is capable of that would cause catastrophe on a global scale.
Vesuvius draws much of her own power from Campi Flegrei's chambers.
Campi Flegrei is starting to fire up again because Vesuvius has gone back to sleep. Vesuvius blew frequently from 1600-1944 but she hasn't gone since 1944. She hasn't lay in wait this long since the 17th century.

@@cliffbird5016 You have just contradicted yourself. Any old caldera formed by the Yellowstone hotspot will be extinct as the magma chamber clearly isn't there any more
I live in Ecuador ..we have 19 of the worlds largest and active volcanoes..incredible sights
In 536 A D an apparent series of events including volcanoes and space impacts happened that caused a catastrophe lasting into the 540s. They know a massive volcano erupted in El Salvador around this time. And a writer in Indonesia described what was apparently one of the largest Krakatoa eruptions in history. There are sulphur compounds in ice core samples from both poles from this time indicating a giant eruption.
Now they`re also finding indications of extremely powerful cosmic radiation events in tree ring data. These seem to happen once per 1000 years on average. But as powerful as the Carrington Event was it didn`t even register in the same tree rings. So civilization is in HUGE trouble!
But there is also evidence of space impacts too. Did space impact trigger these eruptions? See these documentaries and the recent space impact show from Magnetic Reversal News:

Don't believe what this doc says about Mayan civilization leaving behind only ruins. Their big-city infrastructures may have collapsed, but Maya culture survived in the traditions of villages throughout the region. They also kept a large variety of written histories that academics would be able to translate today... if only the Spanish colonials hadn't destroyed all but a handful of examples. Mayan spoken language exists to this very day, too, having continued to evolve despite centuries of subjugation of its speakers.
The good news is that they carved these same historical records on stone monuments as well as painted on ceramic urns. See David Stuart's catalog for more.
Their water supply went bad because they all ate Chipotle and broke the toilets
i wish there was a documentary on the volcano of Maria Laach, which is bigger than a normal volcano, but smaller than a supervolcano
What volcano had the second eruption? They just mention Ilopango?
As for now, the best possible candidate (by dating and stuff) is Krakatoa. Krakatoa erupted around that time, but the dating of the wood found wasn't enough to confirm it, because the amount of wood was too small. That one created the 1883 Krakatoa. There is a documentary about Krakatoa's eruption of 535 AD somewhere on UA-cam.
The official dating puts the Ilopango eruption in 430-450 range. So both volcanoes in 535-541 are as yet unknown.
If we can bore a tunnel under huge mountains, why can't we dig a one-mile deep, quarter-mile dia hole in the ground--a water tank--and a structure overhead (1 sq mi ) to catch rain water and store it?
Plastic domes (with gutters around the perimeter and a series of pipes) to direct rain into the tank would not only preserve near-fresh water (which can be further refined), but could help lower sea levels.
There would never be flooding, all would be protected from F5 tornadoes, and volcanic ash, and other events that could threaten health or life. In one such dome, 700 people could live very comfortably under controlled conditions (65F, 35DP). The hard-plastic domes themselves would sequester a lot of carbon.
I'm talking about making thousands of such domes all over the world, each storing a tremendous amount of water. For each dome for residents, three domes would be devoted to growing food: fruit trees, soy beans, carrots, bananas--anything anywhere--including northern Canada. Food could be grown 12 months of the year.
The energy for all this would have to be from an unlimited supply--which is another discussion.
If humanity wants to save itself from world-wide disasters, this is something we should be thinking about
What do the others think about that idea?
There's a bunch of stuff that makes me question the viability of your idea:
1- Light. Living under a dome would isolate us from the Sun's light, the one that gives energy to living beings for the day, as much for animals than plants & trees. This con would be at keast less significant if the top of the dome let's through enough light without giving to the weight of thrown projectiles, such as volcanic rocks. Which leads us to;
2- Natural disasters. One of the major things during the 79 AD Pompeii eruption was that buildings gave to the weight of the lapillis and bombs thrown by Vesuvius before the surges swept in. It told people back then that you're not safe anywhere, not even inside. Granted housing designs got better, but I don't think it can reach up to sustain anything thrown into them. Where I live, the biggest natural danger is flooding, and despite the latest designs, water will always find a way to move in, and that happened not too long ago, in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, a suburb of Montreal, when the protective dyke gave in.
One thing I would add is earthquakes and tsunamis, would the domes be able to withstand sudden powerful quakes then the horrendous passing of water?
3- Electricity. In order to always put all of these domes under comfortable climates one needs to pour in a lot of electricity all year-on. And of course that doesn't count the sheer demand of electricity to run warehouses and plants. In order to have enough, we also need not just one source of renewable energy (thermal energy would be the best option in this case), but we also need a lot of them, and there aren't enough accessible thermal regions to build the required amount of thermal power plants imo.
Just my 2 cents on this. I love how the producers of the documentary is still active on this video despite being almost 2 years old and rather than disabling the comments.
"Feeling save, is the greatest danger....."
Karin Desmonds As if literature hasn't taught me that already. Every time the characters make the mistake of thinking they're safe, the greatest danger comes.

I've said for a long time that we are 1 or 2 large volcano events from the Stone Age. Well maybe the Bronze Age except without the life skills of the ancients. Its been at least 20 years since that dawned on me. Kind of like the more we know about volcanoes, the more we realize how unprepared and powerless humans are to do anything but flee. But you have to flee before the crowd or you'll be doomed with them.
Evacuation of even a smaller city of 200,000 would be a cluster of chaos. But fleeing/evacuation is only the 1st big problem and for many people just a delay to their death from starvation, disease, lack of medicine for their chronic illnesses, and outright murder. If you evac a population with a large number of criminally minded people (like New Orleans) to another location (like Houston) the hostility will soon boil. The media covered up the mega problems of the New Orleans group caused in Houston. Besides ever hurricane evacuation along the Gulf Coast results in a gridlock traffic jam. This ramps up the anger/hostility level towards the govt and fellow escapees.
A worst case would be moving South Chicago to central or western Iowa farmlands. That would guarantee a violent backlash from the locals in reaction to this totally different culture which contains a large number of predatory/lawless people. The clash would take less than a week before the locals fight back to defend themselves. In different regions of the USA the clash would be on the first day, I predict IMHO/life experience.
I started studying disaster phenomena issues in the latter 1970's, especially when I got into govt employment. Back then it was nuclear attack responses but most people related issues are the same. For years the plan was sheltering in place until the radiation danger lowered. Then somebody in the Federal govt got the bright idea of evacuating large cities of 1 million or larger out to the "safer" countryside. Someone was smoking crack and ignoring ALL past experiences and knowledge of behavior to dream this up.
A few years later the Dept of Defense did an in-depth study of how a nationwide disaster would effect Fed govt control etc. The first loss of control would be ignoring anything Federal (especially if the Feds cannot help). One point freely admitted and printed in the report was the USA breaking up into regional factions of like minded citizens. Example the western states of WY, MT, SD, ND, NE, KS, ID would be more likely to forge a coalition themselves, even having western Canadian provinces join them. The South or Deep South would do the same. A number of likely regional groups were mapped, basically the USA map would look more like Europe. Let's face it, there are areas where the people's mentality is actually irritating to others in times of peace, Boston/NYC for example, as well as So. California.
The above is all bad enough. In my mind the worst to come is crop failures around the globe.
Thank you. It´s always great to get in a dialogue and get new point of views on those topics.

According to Hyman Rickover, it will take 6 months to learn the skills of a Bronze age person. It's also the amount of time it will take for the hundreds of millions in the US to kill each other down to a population of 20 million or less. 20 million people is all the arable land mass of the United States you can feed without technology.

Wow
Mexico City is in more danger from earthquakes than Popo erupting, especially as its built on a lake bed so anything over M6 is likely to to cause Liquifaction, also has anyone ever looked at the lake bed being a caldera itself?
Depends on whether there is a large magma chamber beneath Mexico City.
The mountain speaks through rumbling, groaning, and snapping which is drowned by the noises of the city and when she wants you to stop and listen, she will let you know.
Seems to me like a Mexican version of Pele.
I don't know if there's any Mexican volcano prone to pyroclastic flows tho, like those at the Lesser Antilles arc.
I don't care what it is, Mexico is a shithole run by mongrels.
I tend to agree that this narrator is erring very much on the side of dismissal - we ALL know (if not personally) that volcanic events have been the cause of the death of untold numbers of societies across the world - and it is STILL the root cause of the highest number of fatalities per recognised event, including those killed in Tidal Waves.
ANYONE living within the influence of a live volcano is gonna be high-risk - but most of them don't have an option; most of 'em just stay put and hope for the best.
Where did you get this information?
Yellowstone is not a STRATA VOLCANO like the Cascade mountains, Mt Rainier, and Mt ST Helens, etc! You can check with Nick Zentner a Geology professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, USA? He is free on the internet! Yellowstone is over a Hot Spot like Killowa on the Big Island in Hawaii. Because of Plate Tectonics when it last "blew" it was in Idaho about 65000 years ago. 🐈⬛🐈⬛👵My cats and me.

Not American continent, but North America.
North America IS a continent. South America is another continent. Please go back to 2nd grade geography since you failed it.
The actual geologic term for a "supervolcano" is a "resurgent dome caldera." The word "supervolcano" was created by the BBC for a special they did on Yellowstone.

Is it might caused by forming of gas that became under such high pressure that it just caused an explosive eruption..?? Or was it a mix of gas and uprising magma through the crust in combination with gas and became pressurised by a blockage of a lava dome..??
However..: It was for sure one the more bigger and freighting eruptions in Chile..!! Thank God that there was no one seriously killed or heavily injured..!!
Overall, a very good documentary, but the narrator should have had some help with the script. At one point he refers to the "SmithONian" in Washington - which of course is the SmithSONian. At another point he describes something or someone at "omniPOtent" instead of "omNIpotent. Not a big deal, but not very professionally done. I also noticed the description of the volcano that began erupting out of a cornfield, and thought at first that it was Popocetepetl because it was never named and had to look it up, and as someone has already noted it was instead Paricutin. Otherwise interesting geological and historical information and great video of the volcanoes and their surroundings.

Maybe the tall temples in Teotihuacan and similar are dedicated to the volcano gods. The Gods who live in tunnels underneath - as found in Teotihuacan.

Other than man-made (the wars of 1914-1945) the earth hasn't had a major catastrophe affecting millions or billions of people for several centuries now. We've been especially lucky since 1945; we haven't even had a bad flu epidemic for 50 years. It's past time for something to happen.
That's what I have been thinking. No huge volcano eruptions, no meteor impacts, just our global warming. But global warming means warmer seasons, warmer soil and sea, higher temperatures that help the flow of magma and such...
Wel, we'll see what kills our first.
Calm before the storm.

Beneath every volcano at its core center with the surface of the Earth is a spicule of magma, which generates heat at three to four thousand degrees. Ninety five plus percentage of all volcanoes are located near to a l;arge body of water.The heat from the magma core sucksw water from the underground table and turns it into super heated steam. Within the midsection of the volcanic mound a chamber is created which contains crushed magma and this pressurized steam. Volcanic ash makes the best and most hardest concrete and the chamber develops walls that may be as thick as fifty meters in diameter. Water converted into steam in some cases goes around the chamber and up into the surrounding area and is vented away from the mound as mountain streams. When the pressure in the chamber reaches a point where it can no longer be contained, The chamber blows up as a volcano. Millions of tons of the water ash mixture is blown into the atmosphere and down the sides of the mound as the familiar pyroglastic flow of hot mud. In many cases the top most part of the chamber fall back into the void created by the blown up chamber as a caldera. The process is repeated to be determined by the water source of the subsurface table. Mount St Helen's blows up in this fashion approximately every hundred twenty five to thirty five years. . .
Great that we have so many experts in ourcommunity! We are always glad that you all share this insight and knowledge with everyone
Mexico City - What about survival shelters with self contained air supply systems? I’m surprised the drinking water isn’t already contaminated...the volcanic ash would clean up the filth in the rivers and streams by melting/burning and burying it.
No self contained air supply, you need filtered air supply system (both from sulfuric gases and dust particulates) - same canisters as for your masks
That was the fire of God that ran through that unholy city.
Is a volcano a preclude to war?
The classic school project..the erupting volcano...right ! ....
Do you like volcanoes?
@@hazardsandcatastrophes No!! I don't like volcanoes, I love volcanoes. I love watching documentaries. And movies that will lead to the end of the world.
Dr. Robert Dull not only is smart, he is beautiful.
Eliana Cordoba I noticed that, too! Hello to you, Eliana, from Central Florida!
