Sleeping giants: Europe's Volcanic Threat - Full Documentary

[@just_kos99]

Campi Flegrei and Long Valley, CA are the two resurgent dome calderas that scare me. I think they're a lot more likely to go off than Yellowstone. Interesting factoid: Jackson, Mississippi is the only US state capital built on an extinct volcano.

[@SevereWeatherCenter]

I wouldn't worry about Long Valley or Yellowstone. Both currently have no uplift. Campi Flegrei on the other hand has been having an uplift rate of almost 8" per year. Iwo Jima has been uplifting at a rate of nearly 5' per year, and the Awu volcano has uplifted 20 feet since 2021. But the most dangerous one is Iwo Jima, as since James Cook discovered Iwo Jima. The shoreline that he visited in 1775 is now more than 140' above sea level.

[@Davej123]

​@@SevereWeatherCenterI wouldn't worry about iwo jima either too much tbf there's a few more dangerous.. It's only had minor eruptions.. Sakurajima is prob more deadly or taal, tambora, toba list goes on

[@robdiesel2876]

​​@@Davej123Maybe you missed it. Iwo Jima has 5 feet of uplift per year with only minor eruptions. Those eruptions aren't helping relieve that pressure. Meanwhile the pressure builds. This thing would make Mt Pinatubo look small if it goes. Tambora isn't doing anything at all. Taal is making noise and should be watched as well. All of these volcanoes should be watched. Especially Iwo Jima!

[@jim.franklin]

The Phlegraean Fields (also known as Campi Flegeri) is not a resurgent dome caldera in the slightest, it is a Caldera Volcano without any resurgent dome - unlike Long Valley which is a caldera volcano with a resurgent dome. The domes that have been formed in the Phlegraean Fields are eruptive domes, usually referred to as cinder cones, these are caused by eruptive events that give the impression of multiple volcanoes, but the source material comes from the same spot. Whilst the majority of caldera volcanoes have resurgent domes, these are caused by the magma pushing up the overlying ground to form the dome, rather than by eruptions. If you look at the3 history of the whole area then the region around Naples may be the most dangerous, volcanically speaking, in the world. Mt Vesuvius sits tabout 10km to the south, but its formation coincides with the last major eruption of the Phlegraean Fields some 39,000 years ago - further Ischia is also an active volcanic system off the coast on the edge of the 39,000 yr old Caldera - it is unkown of these volcanic systems are linked underground, although it is highly likely this is the case.

[@MrCombatNinja]

​@@SevereWeatherCenter Is it Iwo Jima as a whole or just Mt. Suribachi?

[@Incogneto1981]

I have been to the top of Vesuvius twice. It is stunning.

Canary island are not in Europe it's on the african plate

[@stucar7677]

@MrsHippyChick maybe owned by Spain but where are the island ????? Not in Europe

[@monicaolssonkolkman4424]

​@MrsHippyChick not part of continental Europe

[@idontdosugar5026]

Europe isn't a place, it's a collection of countries 🤣​@@stucar7677

[@tibolcb6446]

@MrsHippyChick Wrong, the Canary Islands are geographically in Africa. Greenland is part of Denmark yet it's in North America, Samoa is part of the USA yet it's in Oceania, Ceuta is part of Spain yet it's in Africa, Guyana is part of France yet it's in South America.

[@Just_Daz]

Geographically canaries are African, culturally they are European.

[@bialarcrais1763]

What beautiful and mesmerising footage they have used Incredible information Canfligrei is an extremely dangerous beast

[@antonio39776]

Canary islands are in Europe the same way Hawai is in USA

[@jim.franklin]

To be fair, at least Hawaii is not actually part of a seperate continental land mass - but it was taken with deception, lies, bribery and corruption.

[@enckidoofalling2883]

I live on Kilauea. I would not live in Napoli

[@WoitrinMarc]

excellent document, very well documented but subtitles are awfull...And have in mind that Canarias are not in Europe , on the geological point of view, but on Africa

[@DrBiBeatz]

Imagine being alive 400k years ago and witnessing that eruption in flra fields.

[@thomasfogerty3515]

Ueah that makes a whole lot of sense!

[@wicusjansenvanvuuren2614]

This documentary needs to learn what continental means, and maybe look at a map of the world.

[@orogenicman]

The Canary Islands are not on continental Europe.

[@monicaolssonkolkman4424]

"Practially no activity" on La Palma between 1585 and 2021?🤔🤔 And part of continental Europe? Who wrote the script for this documentary? Not very accurate

[@lilylove2021]

All those boffins...😂😂

[@baneverything5580]

Are they explaining LAVA to us?

[@jdl7211]

Note of advice...when you say the Canary Islands are part of continental Europe, your whole show loses credibility. I didn't watch any futher.

[@kerryoxford9232]

Not part of Europe geographically, but Politically. It’s a major holiday destination for Europeans. Note of advice to you 😊

[@cw8975]

Omg 😂 How old are you? 12?! You sound like a child.

[@rachelmercer4036]

Oh so you don't know what "continental Europe" is either. Noted. OC is right, it's a series of islands, calling them part of continental Europe is exactly like calling Hawaii part of the US mainland. Hilariously incorrect.

[@kerryoxford9232]

@@cw8975 it is part of Europe as it is part of Spain. I am not 12. The University Hospital of Tenerife saved my 7 month old daughter’s life when I was living there 20 years ago. I am a marine biologist

[@Cliffordhurst951]

The Canary ISLANDS ARE ADMINISTERED BY SPAIN, but are part of the African continental plate. They are not part of Spain.

[@user-CIGAxScape]

... there's no anomaly .

[@keithfromireland]

Even the guy didn’t pronounce Eyjafjallajökull correctly 😂

[@cuddlepaws4423]

It is sad to see that the majority of comments are about the Canary Islands not being part of Europe. Who gives a f*ck. Hawaii is not part of America. It was an interesting documentary and very thought-provoking. There were even good voice-overs in English for the cerebrally challenged who cannot read subtitles.

[@heinmadsen-leipoldt2341]

But I believe there might be more, such as paarl mountain.

[@JuliusCaesar888]

Lol at everyone being mad about the Canary Islands. They are Spanish, deal with it.

[@timberry1135]

geo Geologically they are African

[@cuddlepaws4423]

And the Falklands are classed as British despite being 8000 miles away. Much as Argentina cries about it.

[@julianmansell2379]

No one's mad about the Canary Islands but if it erupts on the Southern ridge it could be all of our problems. So quit acting like a clown.

[@RR98guy]

Hungary has several extinct volcanoes or so they say.

[@lordzizo375]

But the Laacher Lake Vulcano exploded with the Force of VEA 8 that was 10.600 years ago that before my time. And you do so as if its still active.

[@timberry1135]

It has never had a VEI 8 eruption, Neither has Campi Flegrie. Campi Flegrie's largest eruption was a VEI 7 and Laacher See VEI 6

[@gerdpfitzenmayer7021]

It's still 'active' by producing carbon dioxide bubbles, so it's only 'sleeping', not dead

[@annemousty9607]

Je n'ai rien appris de ce doc.....tristement

[@heinmadsen-leipoldt2341]

In South Africa we have one extinct volcano, the famous suncity resort is build in its flanks or rims,

[@michaeldance6879]

Edinburgh in Scotland is also built on extinct volcano

[@tomdolton2960]

Yes they Can because there's no such thing as an extinct volcano there's always a chance I can run into a new hotspot even if it passes over one just saying.
