      @PewDiePie Slav if the numbers are right, the io eurptions are only small compared to flood basalts formations. since the video you pointed out gives 100,000km3 for debris ejected while something like the siberian traps has ejected molten rock with a volume of 3-4million km3 literally 30-40x more. now the io plumes are high because io is tiny compared to earth, it takes far less energy to toss something to that height as compared to earth

      @PewDiePie Slav If we were standing wearing animal fur in front of a cave with a spear in hand on Jupiter's closest moon io... the marvellous sight of some super eruption would be a pleasant goodbye and last farewell for our senses compared to the pain inflicted by everything else in that environment.
      Lakagígar eruption in Iceland 1783 were bad enough killing a quarter of the population and causing temporary climate change, famine and revolution all over the world and they were "only" 16 km3.
      And another thing.. did you know..
      Most things carry more germ than toilet seats.. people think they're all there so the toilet seat's germ populations get a fresh lemony apocalypse more often than almost anywhere else.. especially your keyboard and remote control and... but who cares.. just be grateful you do not have to manually operate and micromanage your immune system.. you would probably feel like the chinese government.🤣🤣🤣

      Love to the operators of the Chinese government like all other humans. They're trying theyre best for the best outcome for all humans for any and all situations big and small. We are all learning and improving our selves every day. I am sure the operators of the Chinese government are praying regularly for a the most peaceful and happy and prosperous outcome for anyone in any situation and are like all good humans motivated to be the best versions of them selves that would make even Buddha proud of them.

      Most of "the floor is lava" that began on the seafloor - some of it gradually emerged above sea level, creating islands, which expanded in size, connecting islands into bigger and bigger continents as mountains emerged while people arrived in sailing ships to "discover" the new lands, built huts to live in as the Rothschilds financed colossal post office buildings, capitol buildings, cathedrals, etc. - across Europe, Asia, the American continents, Asia, Africa, the islands, Australia, etc., which created the illusion of being civilized cities as the Rothschilds laid claim to the cities because of the debt from the buildings authorized by members of their "secret societies" - if you don't believe it, review the true history of our Earth - it doesn't go back as far as you're told it does.

    The Great Dying is probably one of my favorite paleontology subjects, and also one of the ones that I feel is important to study. So much biodiversity completely wiped out not by some object from outer space, but by our own planet's natural processes - something that had potentially been occurring over and over again throughout the early formation of life, but had hit a cataclysmic threshhold at the end of the Permian. The resulting wild directions that evolution would take in the immediate aftermath is equally as fascinating. Honestly I wish more documentaries, films, and even games would touch up on these topics - I'd love to see a game like Saurian that tackles the climate destruction caused by the Great Dying and the resulting explosion of life that occurred afterwards in the Triassic.

      @@laferrari3027 Sorry but you're ignorant. These large flood basalt events lasted hundreds of thousands of years, mass extinctions and climatic shifts don't happen over night. Humans absolutely are the cause of current increased CO2 levels. We have been burning fossil fuels containing large amounts of carbon for the past 150 years, and the amount of CO2 emitted this way per year is much larger than what was emitted during the last global warming period (PEOTM, Paleocene-Eocene-Thermal-Maximum, 55,8 ma). These are completely different time scales. Human-induced climate change is about decades whereas these flood basalt events lasted tens and hundreds of thousands of years.

      I know it can be a little difficult to understand the advanced concepts of economics for someone like you, but its a pretty basic principle where when someone provides a service, the provider of the service gets paid by the person who asked for the service to be provided.

The only catch is there are advertisements on the video - which for you can be problematic because I imagine clicking the skip ad button can be difficult for someone with a IQ as low as yours.
      But i digress. These advertisements during the video are done so UA-cam, this wonderful website you have used for a long time free of charge, can make some money for all the work they put into it. UA-cam also gives some of this money to content creators that people enjoy.

      Erick Reis because "random" in scientific terms isn't the same as colloquial use. In colloquial terms it literal means "without cause," while in scientific terms it means "without a known explanation."
      That's why there's a language barrier between science and laymanship, where people think that positive genetic mutations in evolution are statistically impossible. The two camps are just talking about two completely different things.

      Think of this as a geological timescale, if basaltic lava solidified with a thickness of 10km from the surface, the movement of tectonic could possibly change the way the landscape looks, even mt.everest is just 8.8km from Sea level. Think of that as a huge plateau with 10km from the ground, not from sea level. And the tectonic force could change that in due time. Like if its over convergence (destructive) zone, the force will definitely uplifted the area higher much more than it already was...
      May not have much change on the relative size of the earth, but definitely be for person observation.

    I would also bear in mind that by the time the heat reached it's zenith, it was only a few degrees on average colder than the temperature at which the oceans would have begun to boil away, which would be at about 47 degrees, compared to 42 degrees it was back then. Venus did in it's history reached it's own tipping point and their once beautiful oceans also boiled away. Oceans also are a major lubricant for plate tectonics so that would be gone, and water vapour on the scale of entire oceans boiling away would be an excellent greenhouse gas, also likely to boil greenhouse gases out of the rocks. It would be a catastrophe and we only missed it by an average of five degrees. That's pretty intimidating to me.

      The uploader has a lot of things wrong: Vesuvius didn't decimate Pompeii thousands of years ago as the public is told - it was in 1631. Pangaea is fiction, continental drift is fiction, the ice ages are fiction, etc. When a group of imbeciles - a.k.a. geologists - get together to promote preposterous nonsense, it's best if you consider the source and do your own research, rather than regurgitate their insanity as if it's real. Why refer to geologists as imbeciles?
      1. Because their idiotic lunacy is contradicted by hundreds of independent historic documents, written in over a dozen languages from all across our Earth,
      2. Their idiotic "theories" are contradicted by observed geological evidence,
      3. Their IQ's are uploaded - online - by psychologists so anyone who clings to the "science" from those with IQ's of 85 to 115 should be aware that it's the intellectual equivalent of the smart kids in fifth and sixth grades. Since the vast majority of the public ALSO has an IQ in 85 to 115 range, they don't notice the stupidity that's paraded around as "science" but those of us with a functioning brain have zero tolerance for this nonsense.
      The truth about our Earth does not come from theories but from evidence - since geologists are programmed with lies and lunacy about our Earth, including the idiotic nonsense of the geological timeline of millions and billions of years, they fail to figure out the true timeline which is clearly documented in hundreds of historic records - written in over a dozen different languages from all across our Earth.
      Reports from our ancestors include the timeline for our oceans, the timeline for our continents, our major mountain ranges, our major cataclysms, the when and how of the broken and subducted tectonic plates, the when and how of the ocean trenches and archipelago islands, the timeline for our glaciers and ice shelves, etc. - it's all documented by our ancestors and corroborated by thousands of independent sources which include maps of sonar images of the landslide debris on the seafloor that displaced massive volumes of sea water which launched colossal tsunami waves that decimated the lands - since that decimation is documented in historic records, we know when the underwater landslides happened, we know when dozens of supervolcanoes exploded in North America, along with thousands of smaller volcanoes, and we know why.
      Thanks to the reports from our ancestors, we also know when and how the Grand Canyon was formed, when and how the Siberian and Deccan Traps were formed, when and how our mountains were formed, when and how our oceans were formed and so on - all of this is documented in historic records by our ancestors and corroborated by thousands of other independent sources, written in over a dozen languages, from all across our Earth.
      Those that prefer to cling to the inside walls of the prison of lies that was imposed upon them by the evil overlords that control our world - with their fake paper dollars are free to do so - those who prefer truth can find it clearly documented in historic records.

      ​@@Amy-im8bh Break free of your programming - "scientists" are NOT the brilliant genius minds that you're programmed to think they are. Geologists are NOT brilliant scientists - they're overgrown ten-year-old boys with out-of-control imaginations - they walk around with an invisible pink tutu and fairy wings as they wave their invisible magic wand while proclaiming "millions of years ago" - this does not make a person a scientist - but since the dumbed down, drugged up, poisoned and programmed public is trained to bow down to and grovel at the feet of idiotic clowns, few realize the "scientists" - including the professors with their insane geological timeline of "millions and billions of years" - are one big fat psy-op upon the gullible public.
      Let's look at the evidence: since we know science majors are required to take classes in chemistry, geology, physics, computer science, etc., since we know most students don't earn A's in those classes, since we know most students earn C's in those classes, we know that most science majors graduate with a C average - that's not impressive.
      Add to this the fact that most "scientists" graduate from low level institutions with minimal entrance requirements - like in Idaho, Arizona, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, etc. - this is where the great scientists of the common man come from - but since the common man is not very bright, they don't realize the fraud that's imposed upon them.
      Since most "scientists" do NOT graduate from highly-selective universities - like Oxford, Cambridge, etc. - since most scientists do not graduate magna cum laude ... there's no reason to put these clowns on a pedestal.
      Since the A students tend to go into medicine where they can easily take home half a million a year, since the B students tend to become chemists, pharmacists, engineers, go into biotech, etc., and since those who excel in "coding" go into IT, the bottom of the barrel usually become geologists where the pay is lowest - except for those graduating from highly selective universities who are offered positions with mining companies, oil companies, etc.
      Pause to consider these facts: programming a parrot to repeat "millions of years ago" takes a few minutes - but it's not the intellectually-challenging stuff of truth.
      Add the fact that the chemistry that's taught is intentional disinfo, the geological timeline is a psy-op, the physics is laughable, and since the timeline from carbon dating is a fraud, since the timeline from ice cores is a fraud, since the ice ages are fiction, since pangaea and continental drift are also fictions, since forecasts from the fake experts known as climate scientists have been repeatedly wrong - for years - you can begin to understand that they're not experts at all.
      "Science" is a hoax - this includes the science agencies, the space agencies, the fake science magazines, the idiotic peer review journals that maintain compliance among the unintelligent fake science gods, and their job titles and paychecks - it's a hoax upon the not-so-bright public.
      Claims from low IQ "scientists" should be promptly hurled into the rubbish - not paraded around and regurgitated like the toxic vomit that it is.
      Add to all this the fact that psychologists have uploaded the IQ's of geologists: so we know that with few exceptions, they're 85 to 115, which is, at best, the intellectual equivalent to the smart kids in fifth and sixth grades but since the unintelligent public is not cognitively competent to realize this, the common folk are easily programmed with a full spectrum of deception by the dingbats in their rumpled adolescent clothing - this preposterous fraud is conspicuous to anyone with a functioning brain.
      Shall we imagine the billionaires that control our world get their "science" from imbeciles with IQ's of 85 to 115? Of course not - billionaires get their science from the great genius minds of 170 to 200, nearly 100 IQ points higher than the "science" that the public gets while the discrepancy between the general public and the developmentally-challenged population is typically 15 to 20 IQ points - notice the "average" ones gloat over their intellectual superiority while the "slow" ones are segregated by a fraction of the "speed" that separates the general public from the real scientists - which is typically a factor of FIVE times greater.
      Why trust science reports from low-IQ "scientists"? Why trust science reports from those with the mind of a child?
      Since the ludicrous contradictions in their claims are conspicuous to me, I'm appalled that anyone would fall for their nonsense.
      Anyone who thinks "scientists" are brilliant should go to their local college to take the academic placement test and then listen carefully as their adolescent scores in "comprehension" and "spatial skills" are explained to them - then maybe they can begin to realize they are intentionally dumbed down, they are intentionally poisoned and drugged by the food, beverages, medications, by their soaps, shampoos, etc.
      Try to understand the truth of what I'm telling you - the disinfo is intentional. NASA, NOAA, the USGS have been repeatedly caught altering data and defrauding the public - they are NOT brilliant scientists - if I told you all the hoaxes and frauds that have siphoned hundreds of billions of dollars from the gullible public, and the trillions of dollars in financial fraud, you'd be horrified by the level of evil that has control of our world.
      Keep in mind that the 1% hoards 99% of the world wealth as babies and children suffer and die from malnutrition and curable disease in deplorable conditions - now remind yourself who owns the multi-million dollar publishing houses that print the lies in schoolbooks and college textbooks - who prints the lies in the fake science magazines? Who controls the multi-million dollar museums that prop up fake relics that reinforce the timeline lies?
      Why lie to us? Why not tell us the real chemistry, the real geology, the real physics? Do you not realize what would happen if the public knew the truth of our world? Think about it - what would happen to the fake billionaires that control our world with their fake paper dollars? What would happen if free energy was available worldwide? They'd lose control - they'd lose their wealth - they'd lose their mansions - they'd lose their freedom - that's why they lie.

    While the cause is still unknown, many scientists are currently looking into the link between these events and asteroid impacts to determine if there is a link between the two (with one of the leading theories being that the asteroid impacts cause flood basalt eruptions), since there are so many extinction level events that feature both a known impact and a flood basalt. Recently the Wilkesland Crater in Antarctica was getting attention for being on the opposite side of the planet as the Siberian Traps and they were dated to around the same time frame. Great video and please keep up the good work.

    Great video! As a geologist, I can appreciate the implications of these basaltic features. I live in western Colorado, and look up at the Grand Mesa, which is the largest flat -topped mountain in the world at 500 sq miles, reaching an elevation of near 11,000 ft. Although miniscule by comparison, this basaltic feature is the result of the same processes described in the video, approx 10 mil years ago. These basalt flows reach thicknesses of 240 meters. A major product of this eruption was the melting of significant glaciers which formed massive debris flows comprised of the Eocene Green River and Wasatch Formations, which to this day form significant outcrops right down to the Colorado river, many miles away. These flows wiped out all that they encountered. In many places, these deposits sit atop the Cretaceous Mancos formation.

    Thank you so much for covering this particular type of volcanism. Much attention is devoted to the study of supervolcanoes and supereruptions and for good reason, since we have a number of supervolcanoes that show signs of stirring, we should also study and give attention to flood basalts and their causes since they, in my opinion, can cause much more devastation and can occur again. Think about it, we haven't a supereruption in about 26-27 thousand years (Taupo) as opposed to a few million years ago for flood basalts (Columbia River Flood Basalts).
