How to survive a volcanic eruption | Survival Science with Huw James | Head Squeeze

[@TechLaboratories]

This is much better information than anything I've seen in Hollywood movies! While I'm not one of the millions living on the slopes of volcanoes, it's still really fantastic survival tips and general information about how volcanoes erupt!

[@HuwJames]

Thanks so much guys, really pleased you like it! The team worked really hard on it behind the scenes!

[@HuwJames]

Thanks for all the comments guys! Will reply to some individually when I'm back on the mainland :o)

[@TheRapidGamer]

Why did you put tectonic plates backwards?

[@kill40001000]

Because of the Latin name, Tectonicus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics

[@mayhemusic100]

You've never heard that before?

[@MuadDib1402]

Indeed. I thought plate tectonics was the name of the scientific theory, and a tectonic plate is the thing floating around on the mantle?

[@kill40001000]

MuadDib1402 Exactly!

[@BhijanNeupane]

I've been researching into survival and found a fantastic resource at Micaden Survive System (google it if you are interested)

[@tinglydingle]

Did not work, local volcanic eruption still killed me.

[@sratus]

really cool gfx style. love the scrapbook idea. great vid

[@HuwJames]

Thanks so much! Lot of work went in behind the scenes on this one!

[@childeater7327]

Become the volcano

[@ProfAwesomeO]

how did you know I was in my pajama's eating a sandwich? o-o

[@BBCEarthScience]

Old fashioned intuition!

[@ProfAwesomeO]

***** I knew I should never have traded my intuition in for the new model

[@sim61642]

Brit Lab Wrong! im not eating anything!,lol

[@zillah-janelouwrens9538]

Cool

[@christinedenisebernardo7324]

What video editor did you use? Also, what effect do you call the "papers on top of each other"? Thanks!

[@Jayremy89]

How does a refrigerator/freezer work?

[@nickrich56]

Journal format looks cool ... Info is excellent ... volcano dude threads?

[@HuwJames]

What you mean by volcano dude threads? Hanks for the feedback, we appreciate it!

[@xx4x4x4]

Wow. I am sitting at home in my pajamas eating a sandwich.......

[@pattt5408]

Wat exactly do we cover our mouth with? Cloth or a proper respirator?

[@HuwJames]

Anything will do! Respirator would be better but a wet cloth is great! Thanks for the comment!

[@katarinavasic8634]

This video is true...You can survive by this steps!I just wanted to ask,do Serbia have volcano???

[@dazi00bsm]

This is really helpful! Im going to a lot of volcanoes (including mount etna) with school ay easter so this will be good help! Thanks guys!

[@doggvetriabs]

You don't really have a chance to survive if a pyroclastic flow hits. Not even if you're in a house with sealed up windows and doors, because it's force can destroy the whole residence. Am I right? Pompeii for example.

[@christianchuck7429]

Your right but then again the only reason they died was because the volcano basically blew the con causing a crazy eruption, and also the town of Pompeii was right under the volcano 😃

[@colbylawson7841]

It will also ignite and start fires inside your house because they sure as hell are hot.

[@kellius1]

What I find weird is that I just started studying tectonics in school.

[@Pesmerga87]

yay I'm from sicily, but live quite far from etna :p

[@HuwJames]

You're proper lucky, it's a lovely place!

[@Sgt_Viper000]

The ring of fire has had me confused about something, if Texas is so close to it why don't we suffer from earthquakes and volcanoes? Also would it be wise to try to get geothermal energy from areas near or on the ring of fire?

[@ksng767]

Did I just realise that the names of Disgaea's Etna and Laharl came from volcanic terms?

[@iota-09]

i live in italy but i never thought so,mainly because i didn't even knew that laharl was an actual word in english.

[@Sgt_Viper000]

I guess I'm asking if you could make a video explaining the Ring of Fire.

[@nickrich56]

... was wonderin about the trousers ... they appear fire resistant

[@TheDriver458]

Ah I remember in 6th grade we studied plate tectonics. Those were the times...

[@DrArtiePoole]

"Sitting at home eating a sandwich" Is he fricking psychic?

[@HuwJames]

Just a regular psychic, the art of "fricking" is too hard for me to master!

[@DrArtiePoole]

Ah that's brilliant! Good job!

[@420triptrap]

Could a gasmask stop the diarrhea?

[@ASKaPHYSICIST]

depends on the amount of diarrhoea I guess.

[@colbylawson7841]

Can A gas mask defend your nose from the dangerous smell of diarrhea when you've got to go extreme on the toilet?

[@govindschavan]

didn't mount etna just erupt?

[@HuwJames]

It did! Google Etna Webcams and there are some live feeds! Thanks for your comment!

[@HamStuff]

Whenever you ask that question, the answer is quite likely to be yes.

[@SoanosBarcoded]

Duck and cover!

[@seb5945]

What would happen when a tornado goes over an active volcano?

[@HamStuff]

If it's currently erupting, it'll throw ash and globs of lava about the place if it's not, it could still throw ash but wouldn't be much different from a tornado anywhere else.

[@moonliteX]

why the epilepsy gfx?

[@asdgashash]

How am I supposed to take in his sand drawings if you cover them with your fancy video editing?

[@HuwJames]

The sand drawings were AMAZING! It was a hedgehog riding a Staffordshire terrier through a field of sugarcane. They were being chased by Hilary Clinton inside a giant robot shaped to look like a fusing of Daft Punk and the Pope to create the abstract concept of "Daft Pope". The graphics were more on point...

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

Just curious, why would one want to, or need to, survive a volcanic eruption?

[@williamedwardhackman4695]

I like learning to survive a volcano eruption. The believe the King James Bible and the Bible it does say to help people. Learning how to survive a volcano eruption is helping people.

[@jadeprinces]

If I remember correctly Etna same as yellowstone is super volcano so there is little we can do to survive if it explode

[@HuwJames]

Have a Google of Etna at the moment, it's going off as we speak! It's different geologically to Yellowstone but both are very impressive places! Thanks for your comment!

[@jadeprinces]

Huw James I did with new google earth this morning after watching your video. So they are different,I wasn't sure i remember reading in somewhere and i knew that yellowstone can be super volcano and i though etna is too. Might be a good theme for some of your new videos. Anyways thanks for replaying and keep up awesome work.

[@HamStuff]

It's not even 1% of a Yellowstone style supervolcano.

[@TheMaartenbaert]

Just had an exam partially about this :p

[@Omaricon]

pfft, I only need a single bucket of water.

[@BBCEarthScience]

and what would you do with it?

[@Omaricon]

***** I would do like any one else would, create a permanent water source which would turn all lava into cobblestone (These statements are from a video game called Minecraft in which lava will be turned into stone from the slightest touch of water).

[@HardestTargett]

Drown yourself in it so you don’t burn to death?

[@DOGGYGONE1]

👏😄

[@CampbellMcIntosh]

What did he say? Here? Ear? Year? Dear? Pear?

[@KaueZX19191]

dude Hes gud boy

[@Barrenge]

Another way to survive an eruption is to not "hang around Mt Etna"!

[@HuwJames]

You're right there, have you seen what it's up to at the moment? Have a Google! Thanks for your comment!

[@Barrenge]

!9th this year. Looks good at night.

[@TheDriver458]

Stupid phone is changing every apostrophe and quotation mark into friggin' computer code.

[@bunnypuppy1571]

could this help with Yellowstone?

[@jackwilliams703]

marsha mills nope, your best bet would probably be to get the hell out of the USA

[@davidalty1018]

best tactic to survive a volcanic eruption listen...

[@Greynwolf]

[@TheDriver458]

I can never understand why a volcano can "happen", grammatically speaking. Isn't it called a volcanic eruption?
