What Are Volcanoes? Crash Course Geography #21

[@lhfirex]

I always thought of volcanoes as angry, since they blow their top, but they look pretty happy in this video!

[@TheN0odles]

It's ok, no need to be hot headed about it

[@Justin-cw7zf]

It’s almost human geography time. This series has been amazing so far. I’ve been interested in geography for the longest time but haven’t known any good resources to learn it

[@parinitanabar]

same here person

[@bgclo]

Speaking as a licensed geologist in the pacific NW, this is a great series but is WAY too short to do Crash Course Geology true justice.... we're not merely a subset of Geography. I'm biased, but it really does deserve it's own course. That said, what a great job CC has been doing summarizing geologic features and processes and super props to Ms. Carrere for excellent presentation!

[@Vanagandr518]

Gotta say, the first couple of videos in this series the host spoke way to fast but now she's got a much nicer tempo 👍 Clear improvement

[@venkatasrikanth245]

Simply = They are the pressure cooker valves of earth.

[@gatodebrotas]

i'm amazed about the fact that tom scott also uploaded a video about volcanoes today

[@FinFET]

0:08 what a flex on Tom Scott 😂

[@StraveTube]

She must not have eaten the Icelandic-Mexican fusion cuisine.

[@sumitrana2420]

Just watched that video yesterday.

[@MrElliotScott]

I love this

[@Trulsbk]

I also love volcanoes.

[@SEAZNDragon]

Tom Scott just posted a video of him trying to film Iceland's newest volcano. Worth a watch.

[@simjans7633]

The Monteregian hills (which include Montreal) were formed when the North American plate slid across the New England hotspot ~125 Ma ago. Underground volcanoes made huge chambers of hard plutonic mafic rock. During the last glaciation period, glaciers scraped the ground, leaving nothing but the hard volcanic rock intact. Now we have a chain of hills from Montreal to the state of Maine that looks like the hawaiian island chain.

Hi Crash Course supporter here from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭😁👋👋👋

[@Beryllahawk]

The squeaky toy noise XD Wonderfully done! Thank you for such a great series thus far, just caught up with everything!

[@drewliedtke2377]

That milankovitch cycle stuff wild-and wildly controversial. Good for you guys for putting it in a video.

[@sussekind9717]

Welcome to the club! You never forget your 1st volcanic eruption, no matter how many more of them you witness (or so I am told by geologists, I've only seen 2, and they were both on the same volcano 12 days apart). When the earth booms like that, it seems to grab you from the inside of your chest.

[@rioncitylife1917]

hi CrashCourse, hi everyone " very good episodes I really like learning stuff ", :)

[@juliocesargarciafernandez4995]

Nice , i always loved geography

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

The beginning of this kinda scared me when I thought back to those 18 people in New Zealand last year who were doing exactly the same… and now they aren’t here any more. 😢

[@ACivillage]

When I come across anything related to Volcanoes, I get reminded of what lies beneath our feet; I think for a bit, scared and then forgets everything because of 'day to day life'. Only to be reminded again. Well, it's a great video.

[@mayisloveyall]

nice I love volcanos thanks for that information girly ❤

[@angelicam.alcantarao.748]

im getting more and more intrested into geography

[@AndrewOnYoutube]

That lil volcano is so happy!

[@fluffypurplepop4629]

Bout time you guys do geology and volcanology videos! Finally! My area of passion

[@LtNduati]

That little animation of the volcano on the top right of the intro was so cute, and I couldn't help but laugh then I remembered what volcanoes do, and really wish someone had hit the little guy's snooze button before he was awoken 😂

[@Anonymous-qw]

Geographer looks a good job. You get to go to very exciting places.

[@josealbertojuarezfernandez7421]

Excellent content.

[@41-siddharthabehera6]

extensive coverage...nice video

[@analekaiyo3801]

this video is so helpful! Watched it twice. The girl has explained it well too

[@dreamoftheendless7159]

THE VOLCANO IN THE THUMBNAIL IS ADORABLE

[@Zaxnafein]

Thank you for the lesson 🌋

[@aliceaster9838]

Thank you! 🌋 💥

[@ancientswordrage]

Another stellar episode!

[@dgo792]

The start of this video reminded me of "the story" from friends

[@Endlesstraveler8]

Awesome!

[@TheMesosuchus]

A topic for Crash Course Geology?

[@chrisb3air]

Incredible

[@chacmool2581]

This video could be unpacked into a one-hour course/documentary.

[@StudyWaliClass]

wow appreciated

[@trevorguy63]

Tom Scott just uploaded a video about a volcano in Iceland lol

[@Iisa1010]

"the floor is lava" screamed at drunk geoscience students works world wide :'D

[@shwaig1]

Volcanoes: Planet Earth's never-ending acne problem :(

[@غيمة-و5ع]

omg, amazing

[@ooraculo223]

I never imagined vulcanoes were so happy.

[@gibranhenriquedesouza2843]

Is there an estimation for how long Earth's geological activity will last?

[@Club-kc9wl]

Wow and on the same time that Iceland has been having an active volcano. What a coincidence, or maybe not?

[@jvjv8093]

Oh nice

[@karenday6477]

Is all the under water volcanoes around all the Islands specifically ? And if so if they go off hard what would happen to the Islands?

[@matanbaranes3088]

Volcanos are basically earth zits. With earth blood and pus being magma/lava and mentle.

[@derekwong8772]

I thought she was rapping terms at first before realising I was watching the video at 1.5 times of speed.

[@susannemuris2088]

It's H2S that smells like rotten eggs and SO2 that smells like striking a match

[@tatianatub]

forbidden syrup

[@40g33k]

No Volcanos in South Arica. Thank, Someone.

[@pvtpain66k]

7:25 What's "Tahoma"? Did you mean to say "Tacoma"?

[@varana]

Tahoma and Tacoma are alternate forms of the name of the mountain.

[@drewliedtke2377]

In the native Salish language, it has an H not a C sound.

[@bgclo]

Tahoma is the original name for the mountain from language of the local Indian Tribes (or First Nations if you prefer) and was anglicized to Tacoma, (which should not be but is also a brand of truck...).

[@khills]

There are lots of Indigenous language names for Tahoma, including Tacoma and Talol, but the one most folks seem to advocate for the official name change is Tahoma. There’s lots of information on the internet about it, since renaming it picked up speed after Denali was officially renamed.

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

Good catch You saved me from posting the same comment (As an Aussie, even I spotted this mistake!)

[@alessandroc29]

*pew pew mountains*

[@yaardvark3451]

Has CrashCourse done an episode on different geographic projections? It's clear that the map overlays depicted @ 3:07 are using different projections. It's not as noticeable near the equator, but the volcanoes near the Arctic region are depicted farther north than they actually should be -- the volcanoes on the Kamchatkan peninsula and Aleutian Island chain are all offset, and the volcanoes in highly-active Iceland are depicted as being in Greenland, the latter of which is devoid of active volcanic activity. Otherwise, great episode -- very informative!

[@Gadgetmaster101]

As a Geology major its kind of sad that the geology stuff is being lumped in with geography, they are certainly adjacent fields they are not the same. A Geologist is not a Geographer and vice a versa. It just feels disrespectful to try to relegate such a vast wonderful field as Geology to some subsection of geography (Another wide ranging field). As they say "Geology rocks, but geography is where its at."

[@Z3nHolEminD]

Spock - he’s a Vulcan 🖖🏽 ( volcano )

[@b3yourself91]

Still waiting on crash course geology

[@maxwellvandenberg2977]

Ayy chemical weathering time

[@karenday6477]

What part of the earth could be lost by them in time

[@PrincessTS01]

have you seen how cute the geldingadalir volcano in Iceland is, and stop playing the floor is lava!

[@brainstormingsharing1309]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheRubbrdux]

Unsqueezing?? Is that like unfreezing??

[@mopnem]

It’s kind like Alexis rose in another time line lol

[@AkumetsuVER4]

A.S.O. Too much Volcano

[@StyleS_]

Sorry crash course I’m on summer break 😎

[@Vhailor_Mithras]

Volcanos are the Zits of the Earth.

[@trinidaitobago2]

Volcanoes are spice mountains.

[@Anonarchist]

I have some bad news for anyone reading this comment: *THE FLOOR IS LAVA!*

[@joan543100]

*Geology

[@TheRogueRockhound]

This is exactly why I question how much of an impact humans have on climate; Definitely have an effect but compared to what volcanoes can spew??? I wish we could put more into answering these questions

[@FakeBlocks]

Too much volcano..... no volcano

[@tessaisgrigg1965]

First like!

[@CaptainMorghan4152]

Volcanos are the pimples of earth that the gods decide to pop in order to make pimple popping videos

[@joeytje50]

2:05 ew, "miles"...

[@blaynesplantvlog7117]

I eat volcanos

[@Foolnation]

Ah yes, Earth's pimples

[@ZombieCast115]

first

[@valkhii]

Simple. Big Earth Pimples.
