Disclosure: And yes, I WAS paid to include the ad in my video and this comment with the above message by Wargaming, the company behind world of warships. Now for the non sponsored part of this comment. For those of you who have followed my Canadian volcano series, it should come as no surprise that the Iskut Unuk River Cones rank in at #1 on this list. They have produced more than a dozen recent eruptions, perhaps even more if you consider its northeastern-most vent. The only negative regarding this volcano is its incredibly remote and must be hiked to. So, did any volcanoes surprise you on this list? If so, let me know!

I'm Canadian. And I know for a fact that most Canadians don't even know we have any. I didn't know. I'm old. I only found out we had volcanoes after I started studying them. We get almost no earthquakes and other than rocks, lakes and trees, there's little active geology happening. However, those in British Columbia know they are in danger of a big gone. Quebec has an old fault which can occasionally cause big ones. I felt one. It's source was Quebec around 1988, and I was near Toronto. Earthquakes on the east coast of North America are felt over great distances. I was on the 23rd floor of a building and I knew it was an earthquake because I had many hanging plants and they were all swaying to the waves. My girlfriend was napping beside me and woke up to tell me to stop shaking the couch. I told here it was an earthquake. I told about running outside, but since I knew they only lasted around 30 seconds, I knew I should just sit and ride it out. Since I was on the top floor, I was hoping I could ride the building down since I wouldn't be crushed by the other floors. I remember it distinctly.

@@simonlemerveilleuxdelisle3779 I'm also from Québec City. I recall the 1997 one as well. I recall the 1988 one, but it's a smear in my memory (I was 4). My dad had initially blamed my sister and I for running too hard in the hallway; as we were running, we did not feel it as well and, being young and hearing the accusation, were just bewildered. The 1997 (I thought it was 1996) pretty well, though for some reason there is no entry in Wikipedia for it. It happened so fast, I first though there had been a bomb. It was just a loud BOOM, some shaking, and it was finished. I realized it was an earthquake only after it ended. I was in the basement at my parent's house, on concrete, so I felt it all.

[@ImpendingJoker]

I love all the volcano and weird/interesting geology stuff. Too bad I live in Florida where we have about zilch in terms of geology. After all it's just an up lifted sand bar made of sand stone, lime stone and coquina with deep deposits of gypsum, phosphorus, and Sulphur. Used to be a lot of gold, copper and uranium mining that was all striped out decades ago, and where I live is near a former copper mine that is now a super fund site. Mining destroyed this state's interior but very few people outside the state know about it. As a long time player of World of Warships, I can confirm that it is a nice little package they are offering. The USS Texas while slow in the game has better turrets than the USS New York of the same class as it's rear turrets are a bit further back allowing them to aim more forward around the super structure.

Could be cool to do a history of volcanic/earthquake activity on the east coast of the US! Love the content

[@martinhoude3518]

There's a video on a new channel, named Deep Dive, about a series of earthquakes in the Eastern US. It's about how Eastern earthquakes are so dangerous. They're not necessarily big, but there's nothing holding them back as the ground conducts the shock waves very far and structures are not made to resist quakes. Apart from that, the Appalachian Mountains are so, so old. It's likely that any volcanic activity there, if there was any (big mountain chains are not synonymous with volcanoes), is hundreds of millions of years old. The plate boundary is in the middle of the Atlantic, not on the coast.

[@taterkaze9428]

Oh look, a World of Warships ad! Grats on the sponsorship. Wargaming has a talent for spotting rising channels. WoWS is one of my 2 favorite games. I've played it for 6 years and have completed 17,000 battles. It's a great game for people who can anticipate an opponent's actions and recall detailed information under pressure. Success doesn't depend on your reflexes although aiming is equal parts art and science. The pace of play is much slower than World of Tanks or Warthunder (and way, way slower than fast shooters), with a 20-minute battle clock. Scale is immense, with some maps reaching 2,500 square kilometers. For these reasons, it's known as "the game for grownups". Hardly any kids play it, at least not on PC. If you're one of those people who still think computer games are for kids WoWS will change your life.

[@Lava6409]

I'm not sure where you got the eruption data at 5:28 but the Global Volcanism Program lists the 1904 eruption as uncertain rather than confirmed. The Edziza complex has erupted more than 13 times within the last 10,000 years, even though the GVP lists only four eruptions. Edziza has a lot of undated Holocene volcanic deposits, some of which may be as young as a few hundred years old. The Bridge River Cones north of Meager have produced at least one undated Holocene eruption and the Silverthrone Caldera northwest of Meager produced basaltic andesite lava flows down river valleys possibly in the last 1,000 years. I'm pretty sure there have been more than 42 eruptions in Canada within the last 10,000 years due to the fact that so many volcanic deposits remain undated and possibly unstudied or undiscovered due to remoteness. A lot of work is still required to get a good idea of how active Canada's volcanoes really are.

[@richardkey4289]

Interesting, the point about undiscovered things in Canada ; a rare or new moss or something was discovered in Wells Gray park, I believe, a few years ago , in a huge sinkhole garden thingie; it's location is being guarded . With increasing encroachment on privacy ( a drone can watch you from.5 miles up.) , It's cool to know Canada still has a few things hidden . All I ever discover are old stolen, stripped, burnt cars & trucks when out biking in the boonies !

[@Lava6409]

@@richardkey4289yes more volcanic rocks have been discovered over the years. Something to consider is that a lot may be hidden under the glaciers and icefields of BC's mountains. For example, the retreat of Lillooet Glacier near Meager has exposed volcanic rocks that were erupted under ice. This was published in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences in 2017.

[@LeCharles07]

We need to build a wall so Canada can't send us their unwanted lava, lol. Joking aside, what actually causes the earthquakes from intruding magma? Is it the pressure literally splitting rock at weak points and pushing the rock apart?

[@kidmohair8151]

wldfires this summer, rains this fall...a volcano sort of makes a twisted kind of sense, methinks

[@johnchedsey1306]

I spent three years in Pemberton BC so Mt. Meager is very familiar to me. Even visited the hot springs a couple times (this was before the major 2010 landslide destroyed the access roads to the area). There were many warnings regarding what to do if there was a sign of a landslide or other hazards due to the composition of the mountain. I certainly wouldn't be shocked if the volcano did come back to life in the coming years.

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

Great video as usual keep'em coming

[@acwright]

How about a video on Bowens Reaction Series and its potential effects on radiometric dating?

[@alexrouth4341]

I was flying over Mt. Meager in a small airplane 2 years ago to see the fantastically large landslide that occurred off the side of it. I presume that was triggered by these earthquakes that you mentioned. Additionally, about 20 miles away off the back of Mount Joffre, there was also a huge landslide could that be related?

[@Lava6409]

No earthquake was involved in that landslide. It was attributed to structurally weak volcanic rocks and groundwater.

[@GeologyHub]

The landslide you are referring to was oddly enough not volcanic in origin but was partially due to hydrothermal alteration of the southern flank of the Meager Complex. Several unlucky people who were in the area made an "Indiana Jones style" (rolling boulder of doom) escape by driving as fast as they could on a dirt road to escape the fast incoming wall of rock. They all survived without a scratch. The landslide at Joffre peak was unrelated, but could have been caused by either receding glaciers or earthquakes.

Also, alot of them are egg/oval shaped and seem to be flaking/pealing off in layers like an onion 🤔. P.S. Awesome channel!! Keep up the excellent work - I'm learning a lot!
