One of the coolest parts, and something I wish you'd asked him, is why are the older magma plume islands so much smaller than the younger ones? The answer is that the old ones were once just as big as the Big Island, but they've been eroded away over millions of years! Eventually, the Big Island will slowly erode into the sea. Other islands appearing in the east, each larger and younger than the preceding ones west of them, will continue to form over the mantle plume. One day, the Big Island will be an underwater shallow reef somewhere west of the new, future Hawaii islands that have yet to be formed. Even the Mauna Kea volcano, currently at over 2 miles (4.2km) above sea level, will erode until the waves overtake it and it's the last little dot in the chain of new Hawaiian islands. I love your content, I just wanted to share a cool fact about this amazing phenomenon!
@Remedy He is using the phrase 'I Think'. Becoz, we are not entirely sure. It is to the best of our understanding. (He actually thinks.) That means it is not necessarily a lie. On the contrary That means it is probably true. So yeah. I highly doubt you have better theories or ideas on the matter.

I don't think you can "quench" a thirst for knowledge. My entire life (well, from age five, anyway) I've made it a point to learn at least one new piece or clump of knowledge and/or skill every day.

That's 44 years of that, and with every thing I learn I am made aware of an average (an estimate) of two to ten I haven't learned yet in addition to the dearth of knowledge I was already too well cognizant of.

Fun fact I learned in earth science class! One hypothesis for the weird bend in the island chain (which can also be seen on other similar island chains in the Pacific ocean) is that when the India collided with Asia 55-50 million years ago, it created so much force that it knocked the Pacific plate onto a different trajectory. I decided to double check that the timelines match up, and they do! Based on the Pacific plate moving ~7 cm/yr (google) and the bend being ~3600 km away from Hawaii (google earth), that means the bend was formed ~51 million years ago, right around the same time.
what about formation of deccan trap ? which volcano is tail in current days for that trap which formed in India . i am an electrical engineer but knowing about geography is my hobby . some life situation forced me to become an engineer instead of pursuing my hobby . when I was child different question from geography would keep me awake at night .
Really appreciated not just the info but the sudden BILL NYE and then back to the scheduled content haha, surprising but in a good way and warmed my 90's kid heart
Yellowstone? Ya mean Tamu Massif, its almost as big as Mons Olympus on Mars. Its definitely bigger than Yellowstone. There are tons of andesite supervolcanoes like Yellowstone. Yellowstone is really, really big, and so are the rest. But Yellowstone is not 'the biggest' volcano. Andesite calderas are definitely most dangerous, should any single one super-erupt it could end all life on Earth. Yellowstone is just more guaranteed to finish the party. Like all other andesite supervolcanoes: Bora, Merapi, Campi Flegrei, Taupo, Glacier Lake, Long Valley etc it has a long dormancy. Tamu Massif on the Shatsky Rise is basaltic, like Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Those spew a lot of lava, heat and gas ..mostly rock that forms a dome. Andesite is viscous, the experts say it doesn't flow quickly and expend itself more or less harmlessly. Rather it comes up a tube, forms a plug which cools, becomes solid, bottles the magma chamber until magmatic stress under the hotspot fractures caprock and that forms a sunken caldera. The rim is prone to forming pyroclastic clouds, hurricane blasts, Lahars, and ejecta like lava bombs as material escapes and flows in a superhot cloud. The vent forms an atmospheric cell of hot gases and air above the caldera that constitutes its own weather system against prevailing atmospheric currents and associated weather topography. A storm of fire and wind and death in a 60-90 mile radius called the deathzone. The killzone is wider still, and eventually the ash cloud covers the Earth, blotting all light from the sun for decades. Global temperatures fall, a new ice Age begins and does not retreat until some process releases enough carbon dioxide to trap infrared light and warm the planet and break the reflectivity of the ice sheet which has self-perpetuated an Ice Age.
Two! Just two! Keep up with the news, geological and otherwise people. There are quite a few hotspots which have major calderas and/or effects on faults, like the mandrid one that moved out into the Alantic and is causing seafloor ground deformation/buldging out there with a few others. Then there's the hot spot /mantle plume that's coming up under new jeresy, new hamshire and Massachusetts. And there's some rumors on what's really going on with china lake, either hot spot re activating and moved south a bit from it's other feeder volcanoes, note why the Mono-Inyo crater with cosco is showing activity while rest north isnt really anymore, or a new one is forming there. And adding mt Pektu as another version, has an interesting occurance happening there. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/3C2HVOB-g5s/v-deo.html for more on that.
Yellow stone is also a subduction super volcano and has very different mechanisms. The last super volcanic eruption was centered over Lake Taupo in 231CE +-9y.
Because I live in Hawaii and have a science degree I wanted to see how informative and correct your video on Hawaii was. It was spot on. Mahalo for featuring our unique state. So if I wait long enough I will end up in Siberia?
Thank you! I have learned a lot from this. I hope you are staying safe with all that's going on right now, it's pretty scary even for me and I don't live anywhere near Hawaii. Be safe guys!
Great vid. I love how scientists have this telling tendency to precede their commentary with ”We think...” whereas the religious simply make statements.
That's because "the religious" don't think (or perhaps can't). Their philosophies of life are fed to them like fast food - all prepared, pre-programmed, pre-digested rules and regulations. All they have to do is "believe" and, of course, pay. Thinking is verboten!
Is preceeding a statement with "we think" no longer a statement? It's funny because sometimes we say "we think", other times we leave it out, and regardless, the end summary is always something along the lines of 6:04 - where any doubt is omitted completely and we then extrapolate the hypothesis across a range of other mysteries/problems as if it were undoubtedly true. That's what makes the news too, not "we think". In truth, it's sometimes as anecdotal a practice as religion.

Thanks for the explanation! This is in one of the GMAT articles that I didn't really understand, now with his explanation and the images, it is much more digestible!
Suspect the video's captioned image of ocean surface eruption is photo shopped. Once I've realized I've been played , it doesn't matter how good the video is ,because I won't watch it. Click bait is that insulting.
it's actually more complicated than just a change in the plates movement. It has to do with how the Earth's mantle is convecting. Essentially that hot plume that she talked about going straight up, didn't go straight up at first. It was actually blown a bit such that it curved away from where it came from. There are some good images in the paper below. I'm by no means an expert but when I learned about it in my marine geology course I was pretty intrigued. Here's the review paper that talks about it. It's fairly recent. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.mantleplumes.org/WebDocuments/Tarduno2009.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwj_xsnF7tvSAhWhgVQKHXTKCGsQFggfMAE&usg=AFQjCNHZzee31AwUcxMCXg9wG_cVmj8vFQ&sig2=dHktiks-2mxl8YOUAO1Eyg
Great video!!!!!!! It is great to see that hawaii education system still works. I was born and raised on the Big Island but lived in Kaloa and worked in Kapa'a in the late 90s. I thought your comment about no night life was funny because it's TRUE. Lol the only thing open after 10pm was Hamura's saimin and 7-11. Any follow up videos about the current eruptions that in happening in lower Puna here on the Big island?
As mentioned in another comment, Diana's friend also has a great skill for explaining things. 2 out of 22 is a pretty good ratio for science podcasters!
Yeh, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Couldn't quite remember if it was Randall or Randolph at first. But then again it must be thirty five years plus since I read The Stand. Indeed. The walking dude. What an enigmatic Monika ehh?
I noticed in the video the lady says "formation of the islands IS" the connected words are formation and is but if at first I thought she should have said ARE because of islands ~islands are ~formation is.
Great question. The other islands have eroded after millions of years. Kauai, on the opposite side of the island chain, is 5 million years old. The big island is still forming.
Actually the Hawaii Island chain extends all the way to Kure Atoll. Beyond that are the Emperor Seamounts which were previously islands but have eroded after eons.
Physics Girl I don't see why that conclusion follows from the evidence. Those other "mountains" in the chain look uniform in size. If erosion acted equally upon those islands as the plume moved, shouldn't we see islands taper in size? It seems like the plume moved relatively quickly and now has slowed down.
hey. I really love your video but the end is a bit wrong. Scientists have studied why the 60 degree angle changed and it's not that the plate changed direction but that the plume got blown (by mantle convection) to a new position. I just learned about this in class and had the same idea that you did. here's a link to the paper that explains it much better than I can. keep up the good work! science.sciencemag.org/content/324/5923/50
Nobody really knows why, or even if that's what is happening inside the earth. These are all speculations and suggestions, not science. Science requires experimentation and observation, so it's not really possible for "scientists" to have "studied" this in any detail. We simply do not know enough about the inner workings of the planet to know how or why any of this is happening. All people can do is speculate and create hypotheticals based on very broad assumptions with what little evidence that exists on the topic.
Triumvirate888 ...we do have ways of observing the interior of the earth, although there are limits to what we can understand from the data. Seismology and magnetics provide massive amounts of data. Geologist studying things like ophiolites can provide additional information about chemistry and the conditions of formation. High pressure experiments are a huge field in geophysics where experiments are done to better understand everything from mineral stability to water content to how different types of seismic waves pass through different materials. Just because we cannot literally see the interior of the earth does not mean that we cannot make observations on it. Now plenty of the hypotheses we have to make sense of our observations are up for debate. Some are well agreed on due to overwhelming evidence like plate tectonics, the earth has a liquid and solid core, the core is primarily made of iron and some nickel and a tiny bit of something else. What that something else is is a pretty hot topic currently.
*ophiolite is a section of the earths oceanic crust and underlying upper mantle that has basically been uplifted and emplaced on continental crust so that it is exposed above sea level
Super Fascinating! I don’t feel clickbaited at all. They explained the ‘bubble’ shown. Since it is an event that took place roughly 5 million years ago, pretty tough to get a real pic of it.

Infinity is not a real value, it is a theoretical existence. For something to achieve infinity is impossible. There will always be an end in the real world. Theoretically, numbers are infinite, however, they will end once people forget them. May your curiosity never be quenched! You will never make it to infinity.
Numbers don't end once people forget them. Numbers exist whether we care to remember them or not. Humans did not create numbers. We labeled them that. They have always existed and always will. Infinity is a number beyond compreshension. There are also different values of infinity. Some are larger than others. We count in singularities. One, two, three, four and so on. But then you get fractions and the amount of possibilities for those numbers, which gives a larger infinity than singular numbers.
I know about the different sizes of infinity. Numbers still aren't truly infinite. They will end along with everything else once the universe ends. I was only trying to prove that infinity is impossible to achieve, to make an even more negative and pessimistic version of the original comment. Fair enough your points are correct, but this was intended as a joke.
Huh, a UA-cam personality who a). is not annoying and b). whose voice does not cause the paint to peel off the walls of my room - it’s a Christmas Miracle!!
Physics Girl, Dianna, would you consider doing any videos on artificial neural networks? It's something I've been improving my understanding of over the past couple of years and I'd really like to see your take on it because you have a way of breaking down complex ideas and making them interesting and easy to understand. ^^
She is too young. I'm 36 and she's like 24 or somewhere in her early 20's. True, I do think she is gorgeous and seems to have a really cool personality, looks to be very smart and would likely be fun to talk to but that does not mean it is okay for me to ask her out in the comments section of one of her videos. Wouldn't that be like totally weird and creepy? I'm guessing that it can be hard for a woman to put her image out into a public forum and do what she is doing without being pestered by old guys like me, so I would rather just be respectful and simply give her credit where credit is due without being too much of a creep about it.
No more weird and creepy than dispassionately discussing the idea, just so you can demonstrate how gentlemanly clinical you can be to casually dismiss it. Nice try though, I am guessing she shares our amusement.
How so? She answered the question - almost all volcanos pop up where tectonic plates meet. These are violent places, geologically speaking, so it makes sense that volcanos exist there. Hawaii's volcano is weird because it's in the middle of a plate. There isn't one plate grinding against another, and there isn't one plate subsuming another. Kilauea is a weirdo.
Hey Diana, you know when we heat up a matter it loses its magnetic property, also heating a magnet does too. My question is, why does earths mantel, core and other stuff has a magnetic characteristics even its that hot.
Good explanation by Christian, but I'll try and add to it, if I can. Some metals are magnetic because of the way their atoms are aligned. Think of an atom as like an apple with an arrow stuck through the core. (This comes about because the atoms are spinning, but that could take a longer explanation!) If the arrows are all aligned, you get a strong magnet. If they aren't, you don't. When you heat a metal up, the atoms begin to jiggle about more. This means they stop being aligned the same way, so the lose some of their magnetic strength. When the metal cools, the atoms are frozen in to whatever random direction they were in, so the magnet is lost. Now, if you have charged particles moving, you can generate a magnetic field. This is how electromagnets work. In the Earth, the molten iron is flowing. This acts a bit like the electrical current in a wire, so we get a magnetic field.
enes Cakir Basically, the answer is that magnets *don't* lose all their magnetic properties when heated. When heated beyond the Curie point, a magnetic material changes from ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic to paramagnetic. This basically means that it can no longer form permanent spins. However, a paramagnet's spin will still line up with magnetic fields. So after it cools, it will go back to being ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic and lock in the Earth's magnetic field at the time
Do a video on the switch in magnetic polarity as recorded on the sea floor. Curious to know what consequences that phenomenon might have when the next switch happens.
As someone who also grew up in Hawaii (Oahu instead) and while I learned a lot about how the volcanoes were formed, several times, but never have I heard of basalt floods and the theory about the hotspot just being the tail of one. Also, to get an idea of how things can move through solid rock, I had a geology teacher liken the mantle to tootsie rolls. I also like to think like wet clay and its moving via convection is like kneading the clay.
It's not unusual about Hawaii, We live on a rock in floating in space. Mother nature has always changed, never a day goes by without something happening. remember the continents were supposedly all together at one point millions of years ago.
Thank you! You are a great person, Dianna! These information are very useful and you have done a great job doing things for popularizing science and open our minds about amazing facts of science!

@@johnnicholson8811 iceland is the same kind of volcano as hawaii except its much bigger
@@SevenPr1me Well not completely. HI does not lie on a plate boundary like Iceland.
Iceland is not unusual, other than the spreading ridge happens to be high enough to poke out above the surface of the ocean at that place.
Fun fact I learned in earth science class! One hypothesis for the weird bend in the island chain (which can also be seen on other similar island chains in the Pacific ocean) is that when the India collided with Asia 55-50 million years ago, it created so much force that it knocked the Pacific plate onto a different trajectory.
I decided to double check that the timelines match up, and they do! Based on the Pacific plate moving ~7 cm/yr (google) and the bend being ~3600 km away from Hawaii (google earth), that means the bend was formed ~51 million years ago, right around the same time.
what about formation of deccan trap ? which volcano is tail in current days for that trap which formed in India . i am an electrical engineer but knowing about geography is my hobby . some life situation forced me to become an engineer instead of pursuing my hobby . when I was child different question from geography would keep me awake at night .
Really appreciated not just the info but the sudden BILL NYE and then back to the scheduled content haha, surprising but in a good way and warmed my 90's kid heart
I've watched this video about 6 times. I have showed my family and friends. It makes sense. And so cool . Thanks
my mind literally exploding from the knowledge you bestowed onto us. thank you
Physics Girl! I've used your videos a bunch in my Earth/Space Science class, and now I can use it for Geology too. You are the best.
I appreciate that, but I usually go by Mr. Wells.
So great of you to share your spotlight. He explained it all succinctly.
This was educational and taught me something new.
CHERISE SCANTLEBURY why learn when you can think? 😎
Loved this. This was just the perfect video for my daily cravings for random knowledge, lol.
Suzanne ,yup..yup..mine too..))..
Suzanne lol doing the same right know
I feel you girl!
5:00 Hey...I am from Maharashtra...!!!!
I knew that my land is formed by lava and stuff but I didn't know exactly how.
Now I know!
do you drink magma?
I like the “And...” ending best! Good vid kama’aina
Dianna really loved this video! kudos to you and the animator for presenting knowledge in this creative way x
TWO glaring exceptions. The other is Yellowstone.
Yellowstone? Ya mean Tamu Massif, its almost as big as Mons Olympus on Mars. Its definitely bigger than Yellowstone. There are tons of andesite supervolcanoes like Yellowstone. Yellowstone is really, really big, and so are the rest. But Yellowstone is not 'the biggest' volcano. Andesite calderas are definitely most dangerous, should any single one super-erupt it could end all life on Earth. Yellowstone is just more guaranteed to finish the party. Like all other andesite supervolcanoes: Bora, Merapi, Campi Flegrei, Taupo, Glacier Lake, Long Valley etc it has a long dormancy. Tamu Massif on the Shatsky Rise is basaltic, like Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Those spew a lot of lava, heat and gas ..mostly rock that forms a dome. Andesite is viscous, the experts say it doesn't flow quickly and expend itself more or less harmlessly. Rather it comes up a tube, forms a plug which cools, becomes solid, bottles the magma chamber until magmatic stress under the hotspot fractures caprock and that forms a sunken caldera. The rim is prone to forming pyroclastic clouds, hurricane blasts, Lahars, and ejecta like lava bombs as material escapes and flows in a superhot cloud. The vent forms an atmospheric cell of hot gases and air above the caldera that constitutes its own weather system against prevailing atmospheric currents and associated weather topography. A storm of fire and wind and death in a 60-90 mile radius called the deathzone. The killzone is wider still, and eventually the ash cloud covers the Earth, blotting all light from the sun for decades. Global temperatures fall, a new ice Age begins and does not retreat until some process releases enough carbon dioxide to trap infrared light and warm the planet and break the reflectivity of the ice sheet which has self-perpetuated an Ice Age.
Two! Just two! Keep up with the news, geological and otherwise people. There are quite a few hotspots which have major calderas and/or effects on faults, like the mandrid one that moved out into the Alantic and is causing seafloor ground deformation/buldging out there with a few others. Then there's the hot spot /mantle plume that's coming up under new jeresy, new hamshire and Massachusetts. And there's some rumors on what's really going on with china lake, either hot spot re activating and moved south a bit from it's other feeder volcanoes, note why the Mono-Inyo crater with cosco is showing activity while rest north isnt really anymore, or a new one is forming there. And adding mt Pektu as another version, has an interesting occurance happening there. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/3C2HVOB-g5s/v-deo.html for more on that.
Yellow stone is also a subduction super volcano and has very different mechanisms.
The last super volcanic eruption was centered over Lake Taupo in 231CE +-9y.
I hope that you have a peaceful, relaxing, healing day today, Dianna! 🙏🏻♥️
"Hawaii. You are a tiny volcanic island, haha." Iceland.
This was something I didn't know and I loved learning about this! I'll be looking into it in more detail thanks to this video.
That ending though 😂
I felt like Sheldon Cooper for a second, like 'Wh-what? No, you can't do this! Oh pleaaaase say "Happy physicsing"' :D
Emma Hollen hahahah I felt exactly like Sheldon too! "plz don't do this to meee"
Like that one Vsauce where "And as always, thanks for watching" is replaced with a mildly disquieting leer.
Pedro Heck right😂😂😂
almost got me, i was all like what the Heck!
Because I live in Hawaii and have a science degree I wanted to see how informative and correct your video on Hawaii was. It was spot on. Mahalo for featuring our unique state. So if I wait long enough I will end up in Siberia?
Very interesting, Dianna and Noah. Thanks for sharing this with us.

She lives in CA, I believe.
Great vid. I love how scientists have this telling tendency to precede their commentary with ”We think...” whereas the religious simply make statements.
That's because "the religious" don't think (or perhaps can't). Their philosophies of life are fed to them like fast food - all prepared, pre-programmed, pre-digested rules and regulations. All they have to do is "believe" and, of course, pay. Thinking is verboten!
Is preceeding a statement with "we think" no longer a statement? It's funny because sometimes we say "we think", other times we leave it out, and regardless, the end summary is always something along the lines of 6:04 - where any doubt is omitted completely and we then extrapolate the hypothesis across a range of other mysteries/problems as if it were undoubtedly true. That's what makes the news too, not "we think". In truth, it's sometimes as anecdotal a practice as religion.
Ps I love how people's hatred of religion comes out via passive agression in the comments section of UA-cam videos, about volcanos.
I'm not religious but I understand why religious people like the idea of faith

Thanks for the explanation! This is in one of the GMAT articles that I didn't really understand, now with his explanation and the images, it is much more digestible!
I thought I was too old and cranky to be amazed wow
Love it when she says "Bloop bloop bloop" :-)
Yah. Me too haha

News is talking about a plume getting ready to erupt. 😐
In her personality, she reveals the effects of being raised in a paradise Island. (Happy girl) :)
And the PHD looks like the guy from Something About Mary (Lee Evans)
The reason why you make fork holes in pie - else you would have the Hawaiian Islands appear on your pie crust.
borjojo like some Hawiian Pot Pie.
Ok so 5 years later im just learning about this plume theory?? I read ALL THE TIME. Amazingly cool! Thank You for all You do!
I just want to see the thumbnail footage. WHERES MAH CLICKBAIT!!!?
Suspect the video's captioned image of ocean surface eruption is photo shopped. Once I've realized I've been played , it doesn't matter how good the video is ,because I won't watch it. Click bait is that insulting.
Because of that, they earned a thumbs down.
Can we get an answer on why the tectonic plate changed its direction?
Sula Wills Because it was pushed by another plate? That seems like more of a historical question than a physics question.
It realized it was going the wrong way. Duh.
it's actually more complicated than just a change in the plates movement. It has to do with how the Earth's mantle is convecting. Essentially that hot plume that she talked about going straight up, didn't go straight up at first. It was actually blown a bit such that it curved away from where it came from. There are some good images in the paper below. I'm by no means an expert but when I learned about it in my marine geology course I was pretty intrigued. Here's the review paper that talks about it. It's fairly recent. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.mantleplumes.org/WebDocuments/Tarduno2009.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwj_xsnF7tvSAhWhgVQKHXTKCGsQFggfMAE&usg=AFQjCNHZzee31AwUcxMCXg9wG_cVmj8vFQ&sig2=dHktiks-2mxl8YOUAO1Eyg

Great explanation Diana and Noah! Diana your personality kept my attention all the way to the end of the video
Great video!!!!!!! It is great to see that hawaii education system still works. I was born and raised on the Big Island but lived in Kaloa and worked in Kapa'a in the late 90s. I thought your comment about no night life was funny because it's TRUE. Lol the only thing open after 10pm was Hamura's saimin and 7-11. Any follow up videos about the current eruptions that in happening in lower Puna here on the Big island?
As mentioned in another comment, Diana's friend also has a great skill for explaining things. 2 out of 22 is a pretty good ratio for science podcasters!
Agree
No comment,
I just want you to know that I love your show and you are amazing

Yeh, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Couldn't quite remember if it was Randall or Randolph at first. But then again it must be thirty five years plus since I read The Stand.
Indeed. The walking dude.

Oh my gosh, I did too! Lol
LOL, yes! And I considered commenting on it, but I figured nobody would get it. My mistake. :-)

I noticed in the video the lady says "formation of the islands IS" the connected words are formation and is but if at first I thought she should have said ARE because of islands ~islands are ~formation is.
I cant imagine why everyone wouldn’t be watching this now that things are so incredibly active in Hawaii! Thanks !!!
This was soooo Good .. im like a child in a candy store right now!
With child-like explanations, too. This is 5th grade level stuff.
Why is Hawaii so much bigger? Did the plume grow or did the tectonic movement slow down?
Great question. The other islands have eroded after millions of years. Kauai, on the opposite side of the island chain, is 5 million years old. The big island is still forming.
Actually the Hawaii Island chain extends all the way to Kure Atoll. Beyond that are the Emperor Seamounts which were previously islands but have eroded after eons.
Physics Girl I don't see why that conclusion follows from the evidence. Those other "mountains" in the chain look uniform in size. If erosion acted equally upon those islands as the plume moved, shouldn't we see islands taper in size? It seems like the plume moved relatively quickly and now has slowed down.
At least it seems that the speed has varied.
None of your business.
hey. I really love your video but the end is a bit wrong. Scientists have studied why the 60 degree angle changed and it's not that the plate changed direction but that the plume got blown (by mantle convection) to a new position. I just learned about this in class and had the same idea that you did. here's a link to the paper that explains it much better than I can. keep up the good work! science.sciencemag.org/content/324/5923/50
Nobody really knows why, or even if that's what is happening inside the earth. These are all speculations and suggestions, not science. Science requires experimentation and observation, so it's not really possible for "scientists" to have "studied" this in any detail. We simply do not know enough about the inner workings of the planet to know how or why any of this is happening. All people can do is speculate and create hypotheticals based on very broad assumptions with what little evidence that exists on the topic.
Triumvirate888 oh really? is this your field of study?
I'm not an expert I only know what that review talks about. I thought it was pretty darn cool. Especially how they managed to figure it out!
Triumvirate888 ...we do have ways of observing the interior of the earth, although there are limits to what we can understand from the data. Seismology and magnetics provide massive amounts of data. Geologist studying things like ophiolites can provide additional information about chemistry and the conditions of formation. High pressure experiments are a huge field in geophysics where experiments are done to better understand everything from mineral stability to water content to how different types of seismic waves pass through different materials. Just because we cannot literally see the interior of the earth does not mean that we cannot make observations on it. Now plenty of the hypotheses we have to make sense of our observations are up for debate. Some are well agreed on due to overwhelming evidence like plate tectonics, the earth has a liquid and solid core, the core is primarily made of iron and some nickel and a tiny bit of something else. What that something else is is a pretty hot topic currently.
*ophiolite is a section of the earths oceanic crust and underlying upper mantle that has basically been uplifted and emplaced on continental crust so that it is exposed above sea level
I know I’m years late on this video BUT my mind is blown! Would love to hear more of you two discuss science!
Dianna you are an angel.

Super Fascinating! I don’t feel clickbaited at all. They explained the ‘bubble’ shown. Since it is an event that took place roughly 5 million years ago, pretty tough to get a real pic of it.
=oD!!! Hawaii links to Siberia! That is soooo cooool!
A geology video on a Physics channel finally 😏
BTW, I'm a geology undergraduate.
Love the irritated look on his face when she kept interrupting with questions as her brain was jumping ahead.
Yes!!!🤔😂😂
Yeah, she's a bit ditzy. This is the first and last of her videos that I'll watch.
Just subscribed for two reasons, the video is very informative and Diana makes it fun and easy to follow. Looking forward to watch other videos.

May your curiosity never be quenched! To infinity and not a step further!
Infinity is not a real value, it is a theoretical existence. For something to achieve infinity is impossible. There will always be an end in the real world. Theoretically, numbers are infinite, however, they will end once people forget them. May your curiosity never be quenched! You will never make it to infinity.
Numbers don't end once people forget them. Numbers exist whether we care to remember them or not. Humans did not create numbers. We labeled them that. They have always existed and always will. Infinity is a number beyond compreshension. There are also different values of infinity. Some are larger than others. We count in singularities. One, two, three, four and so on. But then you get fractions and the amount of possibilities for those numbers, which gives a larger infinity than singular numbers.
I know about the different sizes of infinity. Numbers still aren't truly infinite. They will end along with everything else once the universe ends. I was only trying to prove that infinity is impossible to achieve, to make an even more negative and pessimistic version of the original comment.
Fair enough your points are correct, but this was intended as a joke.
^ Dear god, Wha- What have I done!?
sorry, I never want to make arguments on other people's comments.
when i heard million of years, my brain just go "bye"
🤔😂
when she got up and didn't say happy physicsing i almost cried
yeah - I said out loud, "Hey!"
Noah's explanation was awesome... bring him back again :-)
Missed a trap, Columbia River flood basalts, 16 MYA, the Hotspot, Yellowstone.
Yellowstone?
I was wondering if yellowstone was the same sort of thing after watching. Thanks mate!
Yellowstone is a rhyolitic eruption, the flood basalts are a different type, but the heat was transferred to the area under flood basalts.
Huh, a UA-cam personality who a). is not annoying and b). whose voice does not cause the paint to peel off the walls of my room - it’s a Christmas Miracle!!
Physics Girl, Dianna, would you consider doing any videos on artificial neural networks? It's something I've been improving my understanding of over the past couple of years and I'd really like to see your take on it because you have a way of breaking down complex ideas and making them interesting and easy to understand. ^^
Awww c'mon man, just ask her out.
She is too young. I'm 36 and she's like 24 or somewhere in her early 20's. True, I do think she is gorgeous and seems to have a really cool personality, looks to be very smart and would likely be fun to talk to but that does not mean it is okay for me to ask her out in the comments section of one of her videos. Wouldn't that be like totally weird and creepy? I'm guessing that it can be hard for a woman to put her image out into a public forum and do what she is doing without being pestered by old guys like me, so I would rather just be respectful and simply give her credit where credit is due without being too much of a creep about it.
No more weird and creepy than dispassionately discussing the idea, just so you can demonstrate how gentlemanly clinical you can be to casually dismiss it. Nice try though, I am guessing she shares our amusement.
The correct answer is to lie and say I'm married and stop being a perv Dr Why. Can't a comment ever just be a comment?
Dr Why you hit the nail on the head man
This was so cool! Thanks!
I got click baited by the thumbnail.
Same :/ I'll never subscribe to a channel that does this.
Thumbs down for clickbaits that don't deliver
How so? She answered the question - almost all volcanos pop up where tectonic plates meet.
These are violent places, geologically speaking, so it makes sense that volcanos exist there. Hawaii's volcano is weird because it's in the middle of a plate. There isn't one plate grinding against another, and there isn't one plate subsuming another. Kilauea is a weirdo.
Jennifer Saar the photo is of something that is never show or discussed in the video, and is arguably more interesting than what was discussed
At least she's hot. There's that.
This is so Kaw... I mean.. Hawaii
when I was in 4th grade I one a spelling contest with the word plate tectonics.
Philip Spencer I find that hard to believe...
Won*
You know there is something called smell check right? It makes a different word thinking the other word is write from the other word.
Philip Spencer as he spells won wrong
It must've been a miracle considering your current spelling of won
Great presentation, you are a very entertaining educator.
Focus!...
lol right my brain was like waahhhhhhhhhhhh ...
Dont blame her. She got excited about the volcano. She just forgot to use the voice activated "focus you fak!!" Feature on her camera.

Hey Diana, you know when we heat up a matter it loses its magnetic property, also heating a magnet does too. My question is, why does earths mantel, core and other stuff has a magnetic characteristics even its that hot.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature
It is on the beginning
Motion!
Good explanation by Christian, but I'll try and add to it, if I can. Some metals are magnetic because of the way their atoms are aligned. Think of an atom as like an apple with an arrow stuck through the core. (This comes about because the atoms are spinning, but that could take a longer explanation!) If the arrows are all aligned, you get a strong magnet. If they aren't, you don't. When you heat a metal up, the atoms begin to jiggle about more. This means they stop being aligned the same way, so the lose some of their magnetic strength. When the metal cools, the atoms are frozen in to whatever random direction they were in, so the magnet is lost.
Now, if you have charged particles moving, you can generate a magnetic field. This is how electromagnets work. In the Earth, the molten iron is flowing. This acts a bit like the electrical current in a wire, so we get a magnetic field.
you can magnetize a dead magnet with another strong magnetic field, so while itsc ooling it takes on the field that is present
enes Cakir Basically, the answer is that magnets *don't* lose all their magnetic properties when heated. When heated beyond the Curie point, a magnetic material changes from ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic to paramagnetic. This basically means that it can no longer form permanent spins. However, a paramagnet's spin will still line up with magnetic fields. So after it cools, it will go back to being ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic and lock in the Earth's magnetic field at the time
Do a video on the switch in magnetic polarity as recorded on the sea floor. Curious to know what consequences that phenomenon might have when the next switch happens.
use the search bar above and you'll get a bunch of hits.
Already have, but I'd like to see Physics Girl's take on it.
As someone who also grew up in Hawaii (Oahu instead) and while I learned a lot about how the volcanoes were formed, several times, but never have I heard of basalt floods and the theory about the hotspot just being the tail of one.
Also, to get an idea of how things can move through solid rock, I had a geology teacher liken the mantle to tootsie rolls. I also like to think like wet clay and its moving via convection is like kneading the clay.
You can also look at California and see the same thing.
new physics girl avatar! (phi)sics girl, i love it!
People: "Geography is boring"
Noah Randolph-Flagg: "Hold my chain of volcanic islands
Very good info I lived in Hawaii for over 25 years and learned a lot from this video.
Make a story about gps tracking the moving tectonic plates
Live by the volcano die by the volcano. Hawaii 2018
except no one has died have they?
It's not unusual about Hawaii, We live on a rock in floating in space. Mother nature has always changed, never a day goes by without something happening. remember the continents were supposedly all together at one point millions of years ago.
