Mazuku - Deadly CO2 pockets

[@jhyland87]

0:39 now that's pretty incredible... To watch the smoke rise and set at a very specific level.

[@cillyhoney1892]

Can you imagine living in a place where low lying areas become filled with deadly, scentless and invisible gas? What a nightmare.

[@fxly]

My guess is that deadly gas is the last thing they worry about

[@pjaro77]

This video is part of PBS Nova Volcano under the city documentary film.

[@michaelfreudiger]

pjaro77 Thank you! I will add it to the video description, I could not remember where I got this particular clip from.

[@nrdsgtbck101]

The narrator sounds like the guy who does the voice for the codex in Mass Effect.

[@AlexZander688]

Neil Ross Codex Narrator. Also Nova narrator listed under his IMDB profile.

[@joker_storm2232]

I'm suprised they dont try to grow certain crops in the pockets. It's definitely hot enough to encourage the plants to uptake the excess co2. Hemp would be a great option as they'd be able to process it into so many different products.

[@yakacm]

this is from a longer documentary, can't think what it's called thou, YT has loads of gr8 documentaries on it now that they allow clips longer than 10 mins.

If a person got into it, does he/she feel unpleasant and want to gasp for air? Or simply feel tired and faint?

[@woahtzee]

Camera men don't die 🤣

[@gordongate]

@pieznice29 there is a reaction between co2 and pure magnesium, but its still technicallly an oxidisation reaction, the high temperature/energy released can strip the oxygen from the carbon but the magnesium still needs to be burning first to get to the reaction temp >1800C , flares contain other chemicals and they drop the reaction temperature so it would have to rely on the presence of a chemical oxidiser in the flare mixture

[@RickSuaz]

This looks like something brought from a Movie.

[@RicoLen1]

@bigdaddybrazil depends on how hard you're breathing... if you empty your lungs out and fill it with CO2 you're SOL. If you're breathing lightly, however you'll get lightheaded and start to pass out, if you do, odds are you're not waking up. If you know what's going on, and you start to feel lightheaded you'll have a few moments to seek higher ground and hopefully some oxygen.

[@20TonChop]

So even if you only get one breath of all Co2 then immediatly get somewhere safe you will still die?

[@lpb3731]

CO2 isn’t the silent killer, Toby is. (On another note, poor child :( )

[@anamaitron]

pour little children :( thanks for helping me in science

[@ProlificThreadworm]

You gotta liquidise them first somehow

[@azrieljale]

Lmao... fuckin pourrr xDDD

[@matthewbeardmore]

@gordongate Ahh right, i didnt take into account of the other chemicals in a flare that would have an effect on this. Thanks for the correction.

[@pseudocaveman]

That's fascinating.

[@orgminyak]

@greasemonkey2985 No... plants do both, breathe in oxygen and and co2. in the night, there should be too little oxygen cuz it doesn't photosynthesize

[@gordongate]

@pieznice29 Only if the flare composition has an oxidiser mixed in with it.

[@orgminyak]

Shouldn't the grass die as well?

[@Hairysteed]

Do you know how plants work?

[@isnaelxavier4567]

No, they shouldn't, because grass and plants like CO².

[@mrgravyman]

Don't plants also respire requiring oxygen though? How would they do that in the 'mazuku'?

[@signalsoldier]

The amount of air that would be replinished is very slow... Any air that is converted would immediately be displaced by the more dense C02. It's just not a fast enough process.

[@renevank]

Planta require CO2, and PRODUCE oxygen

[@przybyla420]

It’s only occasional. Plants do need oxygen, for one thing their roots need air present in the soil. Presumably if it lasted weeks or months the plants and soil organisms would use up all the oxygen in that air that’s in the pore spaces.

[@nzoomed]

how does the flare burn without oxygen???

[@MrAsh-hr9mm]

nzoomed flares have their own fuel within them they dont need oxygen. Most flares can burn underwater. Flares are useful for safety but are difficult to put out because its hard to smother them

[@matthewbeardmore]

@gordongate You sure? ive seen magnesium burn in co2.

[@markjobling70]

The plants could however tolerate higher levels of CO2 and lower levels of O2 than animals could.

[@tomsheehy4142]

Plants respirate co2 instead of oxygen

[@tomsheehy4142]

They produce oxygen

[@GunMeat]

OMG, who could expect ?

[@vistigioful]

Interesting.

[@greasemonkey2985]

@orgminyak No, because remember plants breathe in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. However, there is so much carbon dioxide, that it displaces all the oxygen created by those plants.

[@irvintang2751]

Nice

[@matthewbeardmore]

@soverato3 IF it was a magnesium flare it would burn just fine in co2

[@markjobling70]

Plants do not just live off carbon dioxide. They create food from carbon dioxide using photosynthesis, releasing oxygen. They activate and use this food using respiration, which requires oxygen. I this case the oxygen would rise away from the plants above the denser mazuku, so in this scenario, without available oxygen, the plants would suffocate.

[@newnamesameperson397]

I know this is six years late but go read a book

[@des_sed]

@@newnamesameperson397 I don't see any part of their comment that is wrong? Plants do respiration and consume oxygen all the time and only do photosynthesis when there is light. The wiki page of Mazuku describes a Mazuku happened in Mammoth Mountain in California that caused deforestation.
