Why China's Largest Volcano Is So Unusual
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2024
- Mount Paektu (also known as Changbai Mountain) is one of the largest volcanoes on earth and yet, for the longest time, nobody could explain where it came from or why it exists. Here we will discuss why this volcano is so unusual and how the geological mystery surrounding it could eventually be solved.

Thanks for watching.

Since this video is somewhat going viral currently (at least by my measures) I want to take the time to thank everyone who has watched and or subscribed - I really appreciate it. That it only took two videos to get this channel going is really nice to see and exciting. Also thanks for all the lovely comments. Please be assured that I read them all, although I can’t possibly answer all of you. There is only so many times I can say "thanks" or "thank you" before it starts to feel silly ; )
I'm already working on more content for you guys but please be patient as I'm working alone.
Take your time dude, quality over quantity 👌
Hey man, this stuff is top notch quality. I very much look forward to any further educational content! :D Good luck!
You kind of fell into my feed somehow and being a casual geology fan I decided to watch this video. Woah! I was mesmerised and fascinated throughout this entire presentation. So you produced this yourself (after researching as you've explained)? Edited the animations and stuff? Man, you deserve more than 12 thousand subscribers. I had assumed your channel had a team of researchers and editors purely based on the quality of production. Sorry for sounding like a fanboy, but man, that's great work. Subbed and sharing.
If you do a documentary on the Kardashians I will happily sit and watch it..
Please do more!
interesting title, 1 look and i really want to watch it, even tough it's 27 mins. and truth to be told, i didn't skip anything.
amazing video, pretty much explain everything that i want to know. cool edit, well done.
The graphics are extremely high quality feels like this commissioned documentary from National Geographic
Can't agree more.
This looks exactly like a vox video, especially with the font and maps.
Better than National Geographic - all the sensationalism, over-emotionalisation and pathetic music is missing.
Even better than nat geo!more info n less aliens😂😂😂
@@thomaskositzki9424 While I see where you're coming from, I'd say the sensationalism in National geographic is within acceptable boundaries. The Discovery and History channels on the other hand...
Either way, Deep Dive makes excellent videos, there's no arguing with that.
I wasn't expecting to watch a nearly 30 minutes documentary on youtube. Yet here I am because of the marvelous illustration and narration.
The fish video wasn't even interesting sounding, until i watched it. I just had a compulsion to watch it. I don't remember subscribing, but I'm glad i did. I didn't even give a fuck about the fish, but somehow i was as engrossed as a child watching it.
@Michael Bowman Frankly, your comment makes absolutely no sense.
Attention span problems?
That's pretty much the only sort of thing I watch on TH-cam.
What an incredibly underrated channel. This is without any exaggeration, some of the highest quality content on TH-cam
Completely agree
Dito
Thanks!
I don't know why you say it's underrated. It's his second video dude.
yessir science is the future
as someone who studies geology, I can say this is very thorough and very clear. really well taught.
Okay
It's actually wild how many days of classes this covers. So well explained with such good diagrams.
So well taught my professors should have shown this in class!
I’m a professional O&G geoscientist, employed at a famous IOC - this is my first TH-cam comment: EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO!!!
Go look at rock.

For all of TH-cam’s flaws, the fact that gems like this can still get made and achieve deserved success makes me really happy and hopeful for the future of this platform. AMAZING channel in the making here, keep doing this man.
What I found the most interesting in this video is that the rock in the mantle has water deposits in it, as I have largely believed that anything below the crust is just hot semi-molten rock that circulates. I know classes are usually just generalizations of what actually takes place but it's always interesting to break those generalizations with new information
It's crazy how much water is down inside the earth.
Possibly more than all oceans combined.
This is crazy and mind blowing. its so interesting.
Why does this channel only have 4 videos? Nothing but love in the comments, tons of views… we need more magic! ❤
Nobody tell the young earth creationists how much water is down there! They're always going on about a global deluge after all. They'll plagiarize this science; "it rained cats and dogs AND the god brought water from underground, you see." 🙄
@@GuiiBrazil Well, think about it, volcanoes are associated with massive discharges of STEAM. Where is that steam coming from? The obvious is ground water, but... groundwater causes lava to cool, and steam from groundwater doesn't come out of the caldera. steam emission from the caldera... that's coming from DEEP below ground.
I am a geologist for 30 years. This is the best video on the subject I have ever seen. Nice work.
By subject I mean plate tectonics. This is the first video I have ever seen on this volcano.
@@tk423b wow. Thanks for your input! I’m somewhat skeptical about videos like this because I’m not an expert in any science and I have no idea where they get their sources but it’s nice to hear that it’s accurate. The only channel I truly trust is Answers with Joe and PBS eons. I’m sure there are more I can’t think of but you get the point.
It s also nice when an expert provides a positive comment and not negative criticism. 👍👍
As a soon to be graduated geologist, I can agree that this is one of the best videos on this subject I've seen in a while. And it's nice to see that the phenomenon of crustal material "getting stuck" actually being represented instead of another copy and paste thing about Yellowstone or Kilauea.
@@nw6gmp you know this is just me but I don’t mind criticism if the TH-cam doesn’t get their facts straights or intentionally misleads people. Obviously everyone makes mistakes so there is a way to go about it but I’d much rather be told I’m wrong than keep on saying the wrong thing if that makes sense.
It’s almost hard to believe that this is a one man show with such high quality videography and research. You’re giving whole networks like National Geographic and Discovery a run for their money. Fantastic work!
yeah. the production value is absolutely stunning
this is koreas volcano not china wtf
these days, that is not really saying much is it...
i think it's more than one person, but still
The animations, overlays of depth plots on maps, models showing subducting tectonic plates, this is the type of video that gets kids really excited about geology. I am totally sharing this one.
I have a feeling that I should have paid to see this man's work.
I feel the same. The sheer quality and research material is overwhelming.

As a high-school dropout who loves geology, this was such an amazingly informative video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm going to watch all of your videos.
Dropout gang 🤟
I'm not a domain expert in this field. However, I do have a PhD in chemical physics and I dare say that this is one of the most informative and high quality videos I have seen so far on TH-cam. Excellent work!
This comment sounds like it came from your prof. For the project you just submitted 😋
I'm a Land Surveyor and Geological Surveyor, and I have to concur. Well researched and nicely presented. I'm impressed at the amount of information that was offered in such an easy to digest manner. I immediately subscribed, because if this is what we're getting in video 2 what will follow is only going to get better.
I have a PhD in crystal meth and I agree with my fellow experts here
Shh

This was the first video I made for this channel - although it’s now released as the second one. It probably wasn’t wise to tackle so a complex and long topic before I even knew what visual style I was going for as it meant I had to start over multiple times during the animation/editing process because I wasn’t happy with how the video looked - but in the end it turned out pretty nice I think. I'm still not 100% happy but at some point I just have to let it go and focus on new projects. Hope you enjoy it.
Is it possible to edit the title to China's/Korea's largest volcano? Many Koreans consider Mount Paektu sacred as it's considered the birth place of the Korean Nation (it's even mentioned in the South National Anthem). Koreans may feel offended having their ownership of the mountain excluded in the video title. Great video though. And very informative.
@@ki-youngjang4067 If you Koreans are so angry,why not take it?You can even copy the method the chicoms were using in Ladakh.
@@naamadossantossilva4736 We aren't? It's dual owned by both Korea and China? The video title just implies it's owned by just China which is wrong.
Your information is nothing short of fantastic. Thank you so much for what you provide!
@@ki-youngjang4067 Turning a natural thing, into a national thing, is really dumb.
As a retired geologist who loves the science even more than the day I received my grad degree, I love this. Everyone thinks in nature, there should be a simple, one size fits all type of answer. But the earth is incredibly complex. I truly think there are more unanswered questions in the science today than in 1975. And that's not bad news, but great news. Everytime we answer a question, we find a half dozen more requiring explanation. Very well done!!
Praise God!
and thats what makes life so exciting! Im not much of a scientist or aiming to be one, Im more of an artist, however Im an artist who loves to take inspiration from nature so it encourages me to learn and explore about our planet... through artist's perspective!
How can we help this channel? He could start by giving us his email. I can see this channel exploding with recent science and deep mantle plumes or fish that cool our earth . It’s all good.
@@mira55x-planetnalzena15 earth is art. Do it!
The more we learn the more we learn how much more there is to learn.
Wow, this is science communication at it's finest! Having a science background myself it's notable to see just how many geologists & other science nerds are going to the effort of commenting on your videos about the excellent presentation of complex concepts.... absolutely adore the visuals 👍 I'm particularly struck by the subtle underlying analogy with the concept of scientific study as a whole, and how it differs greatly from the public's misconception of a 'definitive, divisive & exclusive domain of intellectuals'.... how science is actually a constant & never-ending cycle of learning... we don't talk about 'proof' or 'right/wrong', just more nuanced 'evidence' that steers us in new directions & add to the collective knowledge.... how two different theories (like layered VS whole mantle convection models) can *_both be right._* And how politics is irrelevant to scientific study because the volcano doesn't care if it's called Mt Paektu or Changbai Mtn, it's in everyone's best interest to know more because it's a danger regardless of your nationality or political opinions. Very nicely done! 🌋🌍
I am a PHD student in geophysics, with a minor in geology. This video presents a great example that how the knowledge I am working with and the lectures I took for credits are linked together! Seismology, Potential Field Theory, Metamorphism, Hydrothermal Geochemistry, they all make much more sense now! Excellent job!
Sounds like Book of Genesis knew already.
You should check out the lecture videos on Pacific NW geology on the Central Washington University channel. Great stuff there too, some of it very recent science.
@@madenthecountrybabylikegri1261 Uh, no.
Have you tried exogeology? Can you explain the volcanos on Venus or Mars? Did the know that Olympus Mons (the largest shield volcano in the Solar System) last erupted in the Oligocene??!! How can that be when Martian seas must have vanished 2 billion years ago? The smaller size of Mars might indicate that it's cooled internally rather faster than the Earth & now has a solid inner core. Or does it?
@@kryts27 I saw a study recently that suggests that Mars doesn't have a completely solid core yet.
This is better than most national geographic videos. I can’t believe how much effort you put into this. Great job.
This is at par with old National Geographic documentaries, the ones from the 90s and earlier.
NatGeo went downhill when they lazily joined the "reality" bandwagon that History and Discovery started.
@@nightvisiongoggles Thanks for qualifying that. Back in the 70s, you needed a sponsor to join and subscribe and I felt immensely proud to have done just that. I see National Geographic now and cringe. Sure, a lot of their photographic work is still top class but the content is of very poor quality.
Well, National Geographic is awful 90% of the time, so you're not setting the bar real high lol. This is FAR better than any NG video I've seen in the last 15 years
Dayum, the algorithm showed me something great for once. This honestly comes off as a professional documentary with the visuals and research shown. Top quality stuff here
I'm just an armchair browser and I've watched many geologic presentations, this was the most interesting, topic and explanation, you really did your homework on this, it's a gem.
I was surprised by the quality of this documentary in every sense: how professional the edition looks (in terms of both graphics and sound), the choice of the subject and the in-depth look at it. I'm tired of "documentaries for the masses" that don't teach anything new and rely on crisp graphics (ehemBBCehem) or popular subjects (tall buildings, sharks, etc) with a very superficial approach. I feel that for the first time in a very long time I've learned something really new and actually interesting. Thanks a lot, you just gained a new subscriber.

Dear Deep Dive, I am an South Korean amateur geologist. I've studied and visited many of the geologic wonders of the world. But haven't visited Mt. Baekdu because of the political problem... Yes, you're right. Baekdu means 'white head' in Korean. And every Korean regard it as a holy mountain, so it is ingrained in South Korean national anthem. But very few South Koreans actually visited it. This mountain is so named probably because of the snow-covered mountain top. If it was 2km higher before the 946-eruption, it is understandable why it have had the current name... I've been curious what happened at Mt. Baekdu, why there is a such a large caldera. Since it is nowhere near to the subduction zone, it shouldn't be there... Now you explained almost everything in detail and I cannot find any flaw in your presentation. Thank you very much for your work.
A holy mountain of the mythological origins of Korea! It is mentioned in the North national anthem too. Every Korean should be allowed to visit it at least once in their lifetime, it sucks that this isn't currently possible. The peninsula belongs to all Koreans.
Maybe N.Korea move their nukes there for testing. Hide inside this volcano so the West can’t see. They’ll think it just a volcano erupting or earthquake but deep within it’s actually nuke clear testing site deep underground.
Maybe you could visit China? I'm sure you'll be welcomed here. Changbai Shan and Tianchi are open places of interests.
@@1fishoutofwater It was the Japanese who conceded half the mountain to China, during their colonisation of Korea, in order to be granted railroad rights in Manchuria.
The part of this mountain in China is a tourist attraction, many people go. As a Chinese, because it is too crowded, there are few good weather in the year! However, the Korean people in Shanghai like to go, and it’s very convenient！Enjoy the peaceful way！ ^ ^
As a geologist, I must say this is the best job of animating tectonic processes I've ever seen. Nicely done!
i am a science communicator with a deep private interest in geology and volcanoes and while i can't comment on the science, this video is a brilliant example of how science ought to be presented---not merely to 'popularize' it but to do justice to the subject matter in a way that respects both the researcher and the curious person. thank you.
I’m currently a geology major and I’m very interested in science communication. I know this is just a TH-cam comment and it’s a year old, but would you be willing to tell me how you got into science communication? If you end up seeing this thank you!

This is one of the best programmes I've watched - no time wasting digressions or theatrical dramatics, no ear-splitting music, no repetition, just the facts explained in a concise and measured way by someone who evidently knows his stuff, supported by clear graphics and film work. It reminds me of a BBC documentary of 30 years ago. Many thanks for sharing.
This video taught me more about volcanos in 25 minutes than high school ever did in two years
Not "literally" and definitely not "quite literally". Otherwise, nice.
This is arguably the best produced educational TH-cam video I have ever seen. Spectacular graphics and clear concise messaging. A+.
1 happy geologist here. Great job of explaining complex topics in a way that a more general audience can understand. Also nice to see source references
I’m both sad and thrilled that this channel is so new. It means there’s nothing to catch up on, but there’s lots to look forward to! Great work!

Better. No commercials. No dumbing down. No repeating of the same simplistic material over and over again. Tv is over.

This is one of the best educational videos I've seen in my 71 years of life. I've been doing layman-level study of volcanism, plate tectonics, and earthquake geology for decades - it's all a favorite topic of my scientifically-oriented mind. I now have a vastly better understanding of how subduction volcanism comes about, to say nothing of the entirely new-to-me topic of the processes underlying this volcano I'd never heard of before. Your use of 3-D diagrams was revelatory, packing so much information into a few seconds that it took my breath away. I will need to return to it several times to absorb the densely packed information you have granted me. I'm so grateful, and I look forward to your other offerings. Astonishingly good work.

As someone deeply interested in geophysics, this was a real learning experience for me as I had often wondering how volcanoes form in non-subducting or non-hot-spot zones
Most of geology in a nutshell: "It isn't as simple as choosing one model over another"
I've noticed something.
One way or another, when trying to convey scale, something is nearly always going to be compared to New York.
@@arthyualagao8279 It's prolly because New York has been in so much media that's been seen worldwide that most people have a sense of the scale of the city. I was recently watching a Vox video about asteroids and they used Bethesda Terrace in Central Park for scale. I've never been to Midtown or Central Park, but I've seen Bethesda Terrace in several movies and was immediately able to understand the scale of the asteroid they were talking about.
It's like everything is a special case in geology.
most of science at the cutting edge is the same
I love how you didn't dumb things down, just straight up explained everything carefully and super well! Thanks for putting so much love into it. Your visuals are just amazing. You maximized the use of the available technology and information and it is KILLER. You've made it so easy to understand.
I wish more studies would be done on a volcano in my country, Taal Volcano. It's a very unusual volcano, too. Major towns are located inside the caldera, and there are endemic freshwater versions of saltwater species in the lake. It's been very active lately, and yet, not much information is available.
Yes!
Major towns inside the caldera? And freshwater versions of saltwater species? That sounds really interesting
Sometimes, just now and then, one stumbles upon a pearl on YT. And what a pearl is this channel. Thank you so much!

Excellent video! Very professional production quality, and it does a good job of explaining complex material in a way that is easy to understand.
Agreed. One comment I'd like to make though is that Mt. Paektu is spelled like that and not like this: Peaktu.

Very...very well done :D As a geologist myself, it's great to see someone putting together such a great resource, not only for aspiring geologists still at university, and for us seasoned geologists wanting to catch up on things, but also for the general public which doesn't know much at all about the planet we live on. This is a great teaching resource. I hope you produce more videos like this in the future and to the same quality. You've set the bar high for the presentation of science topics on any social media. Once again, well done :D
Science is dope, right? Love it!
Wow. Just wow! Thank you for this explanation !
One of the best science videos on youtube. A real shame this channel isn't making more content
Disclaimer: I am a geologist & this is impressive research! Thx! 😍
Madum, Iet me dare say that I think that you are quite short of words to aptly praise such a Unique piece of exotic knowledge this video has infused into our minds.
You may like to read my comments and kindly add your learned view thereto. THANKS.
Holy shiet, documentaries of this quality and caliber really deserves more recognition!
Amazing video, really well explained, I did a degree in Geology 35 years ago, when there was no internet and a lot of this was still in question, even the bizarre possibility that an impact wiped out the dinosaurs. Public access information like this is a real contribution, but there is so much of it - videos of this quality stand out.
A fellow "old timer" :D :P I've held my degree in geology for about the same time and like yourself, I've seen great strides in our knowledge over the 35 and more years since we were both at uni. This video is one of the best I've seen about the subject and I hope to see many more like this. It's a great resource and a good introduction for people unfamiliar with subject. More videos like this should be promoted and published online instead of much of the stuff that we do see online. Better to educate people than fill their minds with rubbish.
@Glenn Moore im religious but dear ron wasnt and isnt something to put any faith in. I would suggest hugh ross for u
I know I'm late to the party but as all the other geologists here have already said this is extremely well done! Genuinely impressed with how well you understood and implemented processes that really aren't talked about outside of high level lectures and research. Earned my like and subscribe for sure :)
I’m a geology major and I’m so amazed by the quality of information the graphics in this!
Man, the amount of production value on this video is so much more than in some documentaries I've seen on tv.
So many hours of work must have gone into this with the goal of education, I really appreciate that, big respect. :D
Heck, children (relatively speaking) know how to make movies now and when someone like this that has interesting material and a story to tell it's amazing what they can produce with graphics and video editing software.
As a geologist, this is absolutely one of the best popsci Earth Science videos I've ever seen. You did a lot of homework and it shows. Great job!

My father was a geologist and so i lived with field trips and maps from my earliest days.
In addition I began my formal studies in geology just as the ideas of plate tectonics were new and beginning to be accepted.

Thank you for a wonderful piece of work.

That speaks volumes about the story telling story building, editing, animation. All such quality levels.
The winning part in this video is when you simplify such heavily researched topic and explain it so smoothly. One of the best geography based topic I've seen and listened to in a long time.
I've noticed something.
One way or another, when trying to convey scale, something is nearly always going to be compared to New York.
I think you may be on to one of those internet laws here, like Poe's and Godwin's.
Omg, in Italy we learn in school that, even if it’s warmer there, Naples has the same latitude of NY.
This guy is a one-man army, look at the quality of his videos!
Mount Paektu (Baek-du) is so fascinating. Thanks for this showpiece. Really beautifully done.
“The Mantle Transition Zone may hold more water than all the oceans combined.” WOW, imagine that.
Yeah.. a LOT more.
Nestle is now preparing to make a large drill to get that water in the MTZ.
农夫山泉有点甜
My thought is: Can we reach it to tap into the fresh water? Not sure if we can drill that deep, but if we could... or the possibility of geothermal power?
@@500dollarjapanesetoaster8 - Good question. There is enough water in the crust alone to solve all of our water problems forever... and we can reach it almost anywhere on Earth simply by drilling. Most of it is NOT ocean water.. but that doesn't necessarily mean it's drinkable. Much of it could be anoxic or too high in one thing or another. It would be worth finding out.
For laypeople like me, in which curiosity for geology ended in high school decades ago, fancy and detailed graphics and clear explanations like that, it sure makes it all much easier to digest, follow along, and get interested in a volcano I've never heard about for 27 whole minutes... congratulations!
Found any other channels??
Same here. I have ADHD. So it's hard for me to focus for extended periods on videos like this. Made even more difficult by a frontal lobe stroke. But I managed to watch it all the way through. Great work!
@@sislertx Brick Immortar and USCSB. Can’t recommend both strongly enough!!
I'm not a Geologist but I do have a Master degree in Geography with specialization in Geomorphology and have to say your presentation is really very good. If my professor gave lectures like this I wouldn't have been trapped in library for more than 5years.
This is fantastic information. I have lived in China, Korea and Japan for many years. Have experienced numerous earthquakes, typhoons, etc. This video helps me to under the bigger picture. Thanks.
This feels like a professional documentary with a full budget. Amazing man
As a geology student, this is well researched. You did a very good job. I learned alot.
This is why I'm going to become a volcanologist. Damn this is cool.
To clarify, I'm in HS now, but have been interested in volcanology since early middle school.
Best of luck
Geology is awesome! We study volcanos in geology :)
Oh. Here is also other geo students. Exelent video, wraps nicely our process course.
don't want to be mean, but vulcanology is the most boring part of geologist, would suggest to study more deepy before jumping in, Vulcanology is all about memorize and repeat and apply the model.
Geology teachers all around the world hate him - This man makes geology interesting with this one simple trick
I am South Korean, and am shocked to find out the geological significance of our favourite mountain. I've only known until now the historical significance of Mt Baekdu. It is the mythological birthplace of the Korean people, and I had heard a theory that the Korean Kingdom of Balhae was fatally crippled by Mt Baekdu's ongoing volcanic activity in the 10th century. Thank you for this insightful documentary!
The Changbai Mountain is also a sacred mountain of the Manchurian people in China, and occupies an important place in Manchu culture.
@독도는우리땅 yes.
I heard that too, Balhae was destroyed and that's how we lost control of the region, and the Jurgen, the ancestors of Manchu, the people who used to live with us took over the region. The descendants of Balhae fled into Korea, China, or were absorbed into Khitan, or returned and became part of the Jurchen people. So all that land used to be Manchu/Korean land, not Chinese or Russian. I think it would be kind of cool to see Manchu have thier own nation.
@@ningforever1934 Manchuria is a invention of Imperial Japan and China. Manchuria was a homeland of Gojosen and Goguryu since 3000BC. If China is confidant of their history, then China should open their historical sites for international studies. Currently, China does not conduct any joint studies with South Korean scholars or North Korean scholars. South Korea has filed international territorial claims on Eastern portion of Manchuria, part of Balhae, former brother nation of Goryu.
@@kulconcepts8996 Manchuria is the hometown of the Manchus.Many races live in Manchuria as well as Goguryeo and Balhae.Goguryeo and Bohai have died out, and the people who still exist in Manchuria are the Manchus.Moreover, Manchuria has been Chinese territory for hundreds of years, and if you challenge China's territorial sovereignty, you will be fascist, equivalent to starting a third world war.Just as you asked the United States to return the country to the Indians.We should focus on the present and the future, not on challenging others in the past history.
you've learnt more in this video than 4 years of geography in school
This is actually a really good video. This person put a lot of effort into acquiring a deep understanding of the presented topics. It's really impressive and sadly unusual among videos like this for that quality. There are too many informative channels on youtube that are worthless because of surface-level research, and some that just fabricate information.
Finally after all these years someone explains how water get so far down in a decent illustration of how
I studied geology in germany a few years ago and that was by far the best 27 min of geology i've ever had. You need way more subscribers. Thank you for this excellent work.
I am a Korean (South), and Mt. Baekdu (Paektu in NK transliteration style) is one of the most important places for the Korean people, both North and South. Both countrys' anthems have the name of the mountain in its lyrics.
But aside its historic and cultural references and importance, its geological aspects wasn't appreciated much by the Korean public. There was a film that depicted scenario of a future explosion of Mt. Baekdu in 2019, and it pretty much ignored any geological accuracy for the sake of popularity.
Thus, in current Korean culture where geology is widely unappreciated compared to its paramount importance in cultural and historical context, this video taught me something I have never learned before and gave a truly remarkable insight about global volcanic activities.
I have learned Earth Science when I was in high school. We were only taught about volcanoes sited on the plate borders. Newly released textbooks after a recent educational reform now include the Mantle Plume Theory, which can explain cases like Hawaii and Yellowstone which is also mentioned in this video, too.
But the theory I've seen in this video is a whole new one. It is so amazing and delicate! I really thank the uploader for creating such an interesting and aesthetically well crafted piece of video. Totally worthy of my 30 minutes.
I’m completely blown away by the quality of this video! I’ve never seeing anything so well made!!
Even for someone who is not a scientist, the way you explain it AND THE GOOD USE OF ANIMATIONS are absolutely exemplary! Subscribing to this channel (and your other ones!) was the easiest decision I've made in a long time!
This is quite simply one of the most incredible videos about geology that TH-cam has ever had to offer. Congratulations for this amazing piece. I myself made a video on the retreat of subduction zones and the flat slabs in the mantle transition zone, and how it explains the shape of countries. I'm so happy to see other people willing to dig this deep into geological mysteries ! Hopefully there'll be plenty more on your channel 😀
"Under our feet"... Love it.
Your channel name is très magnifique !
@@ago5022 Merci :)
This feels like something that would be created by an official learning or news channel, but MUCH more in depth. Amazing work.
He’s a CIA agent. Shhhh
I know nothing about volcanoes, earth crusts, mantles, earthquakes etc but this video nailed its explanation for someone with absolutely 0 knowledge. Big thumbs up
"... the enormous strata volcano..."
Me: Oh, that area looks like it would be nice to live in...
"...is one of the largest and most dangerous..."
Me: ...Oh.
Volcano? You mean planet pimple?
Veggie king
Interestingly the name actually translates to "white head"
Thanks, now never say that ever again
Indeed

Wow! I don’t know anything much about geology, but this is fascinating. What got me was when you said there was probably more water inside our globe than on all the seas on the surface. The exquisite internal engine of our planet is so designed as to balance and nurture our planet as a whole. What an amazing planet we live on!
I am blown away with the overall quality and accuracy of this mini doc. It stuns me that this wasn't a big budget production by the BCC or NatGeo.
you like BBC....
If it was BBC or NatGeo, trust me it will be full of inaccuracies.
@@thisnthat7760 thats a fact..and these days they would find a bizarre way to make it woke
I am a geologist and I don’t usually comment, but this is THE BEST TH-cam video I have ever seen. This is professional!
I have been teaching Earth Science for 20 years
This is By Far, the most complete, informative, and entertaining explaination of volcanism I have ever had the pleasure to view.
Kudos!
Thanks! That means a lot
This is fantastic! I'm a 3D artist, raised by a geology professor in the 1970's. This awesome video puts complex spherical fracturing processes into an entirely comprehensible visualization format - Thank you!
Honestly, damn that was a super interesting story. I love how you introduced the subject using only very basic knowledge I still remember from high school, and elaborated upon it using actual scientific proof in chronologic order. Great vid!
I am showing this video to my students tomorrow as an introduction to the topics. Your work is so well-produced!
