Hawaiian Lava Flows

[@ixian_technocrat]

No click-bait, no stupid jokes, no begging for likes, succinct objective presentation, good ratio of video and images, music only used as background sparingly. This video does not belong on KZbin. Good job sir, I wish this site had more quality content like this.

[@youdontknowme3935]

i was SURE that this video came from some kind of tv show ... impressive

[@hellz23456]

same bro i thought it was aired maybe on BBC or NatGeo lel

[@expressrobkill]

also i enjoy a sexy mustache, just thought i would end your sentence.

Yet, 878 people thumbed it down! They prefer the MSM's dramatizations and lies, over clear explanations of scientific phenomena. They don't want to learn anything. Born dumb, die dumb.

I wish there is HD version.

[@annetterichards5271]

I agree. I've learned a LOT by watching this and really enjoyed watching the branch go into the hot lava. So cool.

[@cyclone19692000]

dont know why youtube decided to recommend this but I am glad it did good work

[@PAULTHEAV8R]

Ok, that was probably the most informative short video on volcanic lava and lava flows I’ve seen. Great job! Thank you.

[@loanahoylman1466]

This is the best video on Hawaiian volcanoes I have ever seen. I've visited them and now live in New Mexico, which is full of volcanoes. I've studied volcanoes, but the shots in the video made so much of it suddenly come together in my mind with wonderful clarity. Thank you.

[@andrewedis9907]

I always appreciate videos with solid editing, information and good voice over. Clearly a lot of work went into this so thankyou!

[@jonasduell9953]

Was on my recommended, came for the lulz, stayed because well narrated, informative and just beautiful. Excellent video! Thanks

[@BalefulHead]

Very well made video - you actually covered the answers for a lot of questions I'v seen people ask over the last few weeks. Great educational resource.

[@niasuez2088]

You have a great narratoring voice - Its very engaging and easy to understand. I would to see more videos on geology from you - Or your narration or presenting other documentaties

[@ddittmar940]

Nia Suez yes it takes a special kind of narrator to make the shapes of dried lava sound interesting lol

[@joelizak3513]

Yes...yes...and yes. My thoughts exactly.

[@christinethompson6924]

Your video is first class and your voice is so calming and relaxing to listen to. You did an incredible job making it interesting and factual. It was a pleasure watching it. Thank you for not using a computer voice.

[@nickynockyknackynoo2346]

An extremely watchable and 'listenable' video Jerry. Thank you. In case others notice the change, there were a couple of passages where I thought one of my speakers had packed up, as the audio shifted more or less to one channel, from being centred. But I can see from a quick look at the audio waveform that it is on the video.

[@zizimugen4470]

Wow, that last time-lapse is pretty awesome! Geology is such a slow science, when we can see geologic events happen like this, it's really incredible!

[@kilogulf1164]

Great video..lived in Kalapana as kid and actually played with the slow moving lava throwing crap in and burning it.

[@Atemporalacab]

POT TERCES right now theres an eruption going on , i live in hawaiian beaches very close to Kalapana

[@krimsonfel3676]

Excellent and well done presentation. KZbin doesn’t deserve such quality.

Very good. Needed to be longer because it is a genuinely educational programme, free of emotive vocal exaggeration and tricksy visual effects.

[@ShizukuSeiji]

I don't understand why someone would dislike this? Could it be a creationist who objects to phrases like "millions of years"? I can't see any other reason why this educational mini-doco wouldn't get a thumbs up.

[@ThomasStevensontutor]

Nice presentation, sir! I especially enjoyed the time lapses and your explanations of lesser-known phenomena such as tree moulds and lava deltas. Thanks for making this. :)

[@russellsmith3855]

wonderful video !! well edited and nice smooth transition. Great to see a well planned script too.

[@danf279]

Wow, I am genuinely impressed with the quality of this.

[@allthingsharbor]

Great video - concise and clear explanations of what I am seeing and reading about the current eruption on the Big Island. Thank you !

[@phillipc6799]

Excellent video Jerry. I now understand what they are talking about in the Kilaeau videos that mention a-ah and pahoehoe flows. You should do more videos.

[@FrontierSettler]

I don't know how I could have used that 8 minutes better! thank you!

[@davidmaiolo]

Recognized most of these areas from the big island. Awesome video. Your explanation of the lava tree formation was better than the official placards at lava tree state park

[@Atemporalacab]

David Maiolo hahah right , i live in Hawaiian beaches

[@gythwulf]

Those benches disappearing at the end really tripped me out.

[@cjprowe5]

High viscosity means it flows slowly, something with low viscosity will flow easily. water has a very low viscosity. Other than this, great video!

[@jerrymagloughlin3070]

Thanks. You're right, pahoehoe lava is low viscosity lava, and as I said, when it flows slowly, for example on relatively flat ground, all those interesting patterns can form. As the lava increases its viscosity, aa lava results, which usually forms the very slow, thicker, bulldozer-tread-like flow pattern we illustrated.

[@priyasmruti9431]

thank u so much Sir for helping students who could not able to see all these scientific phenomena directly at the spot

[@hypertion]

That final timelapse was amazing.

[@OleOlson]

Thanks for the explanation and video of the lava benches at the end here. I was hiking out on these (despite the warning signs), but had no idea how rapidly they could slump into the ocean like that, and now know why it is dangerous.

[@ZackLee]

you guys should do more geology stuff, like for example "how the hexagonal shaped rocks in California Yosemite formed"

[@CalvinHodgson]

Just based on that description alone it is likely formed by a sill (underground vertical intrusion of magma) or lava of basalt that breaks into hexagons as it cools. This is known as columnar jointing.

[@JennyvonHenkelmannLecter]

Calvin Hodgson that's awesome. It reminds me of some of the Yellowstone formations.

[@ResortDog]

Hmm. In these volcanic wastelands in the Oregon Nevada Outback those are usually horizontal flows capped by another horizontal flow before it could cool or its an eroded vent plug it came out of some eons earlier.

[@bigred8438]

Excellent. Loved every minute of your video. Thanks.

[@supermicro8384]

WIsh we had these kind of videos when i was in school. That was fascinating and well explained keeping the viewer interested. Kudos

[@ralphbellstedt456]

Wow, what a great video, you have no idea how well done this was, this channel has so much potential. If you continue with these type of videos on other rock formations, types and how they form, you could get a great following. I would love to see one on kimberlite.

[@brianbrewster6532]

A truly amazing and educational video. Thanks Jerry, for publishing this. I just published a video where I show my family body rafting through the Gao Lanang in Pangandaran, West Java. I described this as a lava tube that a river just happened to flow through. Geology is a fascinating subject which accounts for how everything is formed around us.

[@punk4rockorz]

Very educative video, no clickbaity video! Great work.

[@Scharpy1]

WOW! Outstanding presentation! Thank you for a perfect Hawaiian lava explanation. Got a big kick and surprise to see my good friend Anthony Fink mentioned in the end. Again, nice work.

[@jerrymagloughlin3070]

Great, glad you liked it. I think we did two flights with Anthony, and he did a great job getting us around and into position for our aerial shots.

[@MooseKnuckleMike]

All the way around an excellent video. So well put together.

[@steffjacey6484]

This is how all educational videos should be made. 10/10

[@Not_The_FBI_1992]

I've actually been to where he is walking on the rock. Pretty sure it's in New Mexico, there's a specific area where mountains open up into a vast desert.

[@Scoin0]

That one tube they were walking into near the end of the video is so cool. I went to the big island to hang out with my Dad and before we flew back to Oahu he took us there. The only light I had at the time was my phones flashlight. My brother and I walked in while my Dad slept in the car, he works nights and was very tired. We must have spent at least an hour or two wondering deeper and deeper into the tube. Marveling at how interesting everything looked.

[@phuokyu6441]

this is what all youtube content should be like very well made

[@AugustBreak]

You remind me of Chris Hadfield the Canadian astronaut. Both of you have clear passion for your fields and are able to dumb down much of the complicated bits for us regular people. Maybe the mustache is the reason for it.

[@02Rizqan]

Most satisfying hawaiian lava flow explanation!

[@007vsMagua]

For tree roots to grow thru the top of a lave tube would imply the top of the tube is made of the cinder type of lave making the top of the lava tube somewhat unstable I would think. This video is a great explanation...thanks.

[@11pmeade]

So maybe the Kapoho point area will be back again if the waves carry the lava away like the end of video states does happen.

[@roodborstkalf9664]

Not likely

[@thingsofsuch]

Pretty and destructive. The end where the delta is destroyed and becomes part of the ocean shoreline ... what is almost balance between growth and reversal, quite impressive that was.
