The Deadly Dormant Volcanos Scattered Across The World | Volcanic Planet

I live on Kilauea. The danger is when people don’t listen to the scientists. We love our HVO

[@yourshadowself]

This is a great documentary

[@calebspengler2039]

I love you Donnie I hope you get everything in life you ever want and that volcano continue to be a source of wonder worth studying your whole life 🌋❤️

[@rayvelasco2059]

Most Excellent ¿

[@just_kos99]

I clicked on this video thinking you were going to be discussing dormant volcanoes. So far, everything I've seen (halfway through the video) has been about active volcanoes.

[@holymelon8011]

It could be one of those channels that rips documenterys from legit places

[@ce731]

This documentary is several years old ... before the White Island disaster. Still, an excellent tour of volcanoes.

The men who carry the sulfa are amazing. These men would be great special operation operatives. What a unit it would be.

Yikes! That volcano in the Congo was like staring into Hell. It’s amazing to realize a similar lava lake exists on Erebus in Antarctica.

Why is the section at 59.00 a repetition of an earlier segment?

Olympus Mons. You got it backwards. Saying that any one volcano is the most dangerous in the world is kind of a matter of opinion. Depends on who you ask. And as far as the largest on Earth goes, that depends on the criteria that you use to make that judgment. Still, a good video.

[@strongestavenger3085]

Bro what lol

[@lebronjames5601]

Good catch on the correct name of Mars Olympus Mons. Imo the most dangerous volcanos are the ones that can cause the largest destructions. Italy’s Mt Etna can kill many and Mt. Vesuvius can kill millions in the city of Naples. Yellowstone is a super volcano that its caldera was basically discovered about 45 years ago. Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines is also a killer. Cumbre Vieja in the Canary Islands can change the US East coast via a tsunami. Although I’m a surgeon I have always loved volcanoes and have visited about 20 of them.

The largest active volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa, that's by total height AND total volume of the mountain. The Apolaki complex is the largest known shield volcano on earth though there have likely been many other larger that have been erased by erosion/time, this one is not particularly tall but its "footprint"/area and volume exceed even Mauna Loa's. It's not subjective in any sense. How potentially "dangerous" is a bit more subjective, as you note but not completely. The population within a distance likely to be effected by all aspects of eruption (lahars are included even though they can occur significantly before, after, or unconnected to an eruption), the typical nature/type/size of the eruptions typically produced, ease of evacuation, and resources available to deal with the event are how they are analyzed. Taal, Vesuvius/Campi Flegrei, Ranier, Nyiragongo are among the most potentially dangerous/likely to cause catastrophic loss of lives.

[@FLAME456X]

@@lebronjames5601 Theres also the Itallian super volcano Campi Fligre underneath Naples which can erupt at anytime causing a monsterous disaster and also killing a lot of people too and causing a lot of damage

[@charlesmcmillion5118]

Yellowstone will be the equivalent of nuclear bombs? No, more like thousands of thermonuclear bombs.

I think I'll watch this for a little while Ventura catch them in a lie Raymond Paul Sullivan III me myself and I and him

Persistent westerly winds have also dragged the current in one direction for over 20 years, increasing the speed and size of the clockwise current and preventing the fresh water from leaving the Arctic Ocean. This decades long western wind is unusual for the region, where previously, the winds changed direction every five to seven year. Scientists have been keeping an eye on the Beaufort Gyre in case the wind changes direction again. If the direction were to change, the wind would reverse the current, pulling it counterclockwise and releasing the water it has accumulated all at once. "If the Beaufort Gyre were to release the excess fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean, it could potentially slow down its circulation. And that would have hemisphere wide implications for the climate, especially in Western Europe," said Tom Armitage, lead author of the study and polar scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Fresh water released from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic can change the density of surface waters. Normally, water from the Arctic loses heat and moisture to the atmosphere and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, where it drives water from the north Atlantic Ocean down to the tropics like a conveyor belt. This important current is called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and helps regulate the planet's climate by carrying heat from the tropically warmed water to northern latitudes like Europe and North America. If slowed enough, it could negatively impact marine life and the communities that depend on it. "We don't expect a shutting down of the Gulf Stream, but we do expect impacts. That's why we're monitoring the Beaufort Gyre so closely," said Alek Petty, a co-author on the paper and polar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The study also found that Beaufort Gyre is out of balance because of the added energy from the wind, the current expels that excess energy by forming small, circular eddies of water. While the increased turbulence has helped keep the system balanced, it has the potential to lead to further ice melt because it mixes layers of cold, fresh water with relatively warm, salt water below. The melting ice could, in turn, lead to changes in how nutrients and organic material in the ocean are mixed, significantly affecting the food chain and wildlife in the Arctic. The results reveal a delicate balance between wind and ocean as the sea ice pack recedes under climate change. "What this study is showing is that the loss of sea ice has really important impacts on our climate system that we're only just discovering," said Petty.

40 seconds in and you know Olympus mons is the largest volcano . Trust in what you know is gone. Bummer , you could say, the best theory? Or we believe? Stop dumbing people down!

[@warpdriveby]

I'd give the "protests" on Mauna Loa/Mauna Kea a degree of respect if they were demonstrating against HOTELS/McDonalds/Surfing shacks/or even just plastic straws, but protesting humanity seeking to know and understand OUR UNIVERSE? If anything is in the spirit of our ancestors seeking understanding. These protestors are rejecting the best, the true good of modern tech while IGNORING GREED DRIVEN COMMERCE?

[@johntimlin6664]

U guys Crack me up. You've got a better chance of an earthquake or medior then yellow stone 😂

[@stargazer5784]

On a side note, the people choosing to live near this volcano do so at their own peril. They know that it's extremely dangerous. When it blows, they'll be screaming for help, when they should have moved away long ago. Everyone else will have to foot the bill for their stubbornness and shortsightedness. The innocent children will suffer the most.

[@drew6344]

More than likely those innocent children would be starving to death. If not for the extremely fertile soil that the volcano creates.

[@rickstanley9710]

2 minutes in " Nyiragongo is the most similar volcano to Yellowstone." Really? Done. You totally lost me within 2 minutes. Awful nonsense.

[@LBetsy326]

i think he meant in terms of danger and possible destruction.. Nyiragongo occurs b/c of a rift. Not a hotspot. i personally think that Phlegraean Fields are likely the closest we have right now....

[@rickstanley9710]

@@LBetsy326 Nyiragongo is fully capable of destroying nearby towns. Yellowstone is a caldera super volcano capable of ending modern civilization on planet earth. Stating garbage as "facts" during what purports to be a scientific documentary is worse than bad, it's awful. It's lazy writing by uninformed people presenting nonsense as "science". I hate it.
