@@CarpeDiem-ww2fk We're all safe right now on the big island! Just to be clear, the Dec 2020 eruption he's referring to is contained within the Kilauea Crater in Volcano National Park (as I write this in Jan 2021). This means that the crater has partially filled up with lava, but there is no lava flowing out of it.
@2:20 Volcanos did not produce 80% of the Earth's surface. The surface is what hardened when the earth cooled. Volcanos may have "resurfaced" it over 4 billions years, but they did not initially produce the surface.
the expert they have on there, later in the vid, says it is "absolutely the most active volcano in the world. it covers its own surface every thousand years" "one of the most active" was just an introduction, which was unneeded since hte yotuube vid has a title.
It is NOT the most active - Stromboli in Italy has been in a constant state of actual eruptive activity for over 2000 years and there is evidence that it is much longer!
No. Iceland is part of the mid-Atlantic ridge. That's not a spot. It's the longest mountain chain in the world and basically goes all the way from the arctic to the antarctic oceans. More associated with rift environment.
Kilauea never sleeps that volcano is always busy sending out lava and making new land. Kilauea is the entire Big Island of Hawaii every day the citizens of the island have to keep moving their homes because you never know where Kilauea will erupt next. the mountain is always busy thats why we have to send geologist up there to monitor this never sleeping volcano.
I expected a more indepth research with historical eruption statistics and a comparison with another active volcano like for example Mt Etna, but just saying that a volcano is the most active on the planet without any proof from institutions like Hawaii Volcano observatory or USGS sounds a little silly to me.
This video's title is a question, but nowhere in this video is this question even addressed, let alone answered. The description ends with the statement "Here's why." Yet this question is left hanging. Instead, we are given the same vulcanism lecture we were given in eighth grade, catering to those who obviously weren't listening that day, explaining plate tectonics interacting with a hot spot, and treating us like slow children. I had expected something on the viscosity of the magma, or the recent seismic data revealing the massive structures interacting near the mantle core boundary. I certainly didn't expect the Smithsonian channel to patronize us with basic descriptions of what a volcano is, without addressing the question the title posed. This video is academic click bait.
Right? I actually thought they went further with their research into the reason. And I know that we still have limited knowledge about volcanoes, but they could've at least provide more theories, other than the basic "it's a hotspot", because a lot of seismologists already published a couple of research about this.
"The closer you are to danger the further you are from harm"...(Pippin Lord of the Rings) but it is true. We have documented evidence in pictures of how we are so close but are not in the path of the eruptions.
if they volcano arround the world are erruppted its means God almost coming .we need to pray & change are attitube be good person humble loving understanding love each other .we need ti do this
Hey but wait... Its The Ring if Fire 🔥 NO? This Alignment HAS SHAKEN US TO THE CORE. Anyone else see faces in the Lava Lake? Or have i been to Hawi'i Too MUCH?!!?
beautifully natural volcano and melty thicky liquid lava on the earth... keep going flow / pour melty thicky liquid lava out from the volcano anyday anytime
Couldn't the Smithsonian have gotten a narrator and expert that could pronounce Kilauea and Hawai'i correctly?! There's an API museum that's part of the Smithsonian...!
Nick Hentschel why would u get mad at someone pronouncing it right, maybe something that is personal or something that you have no right to be saying but otherwise I don’t see why it would be bad to know how to speak Hawaiian correctly.
No, that is just hot spots that create volcanoes then a island around it. If the whole world was made like this then everywhere would be covered in volcanoes.

Yup Kilauea just started erupting AGAIN here in Dec 2020.
it never truly stops.
How is everybody there? Hope you are protected and please be safe :)

*Who is watching video after volcano eruption recently ?*
Hawaii is a true paradise...
If u think hawaiis good you should go to isle of man in uk its the paradise of the uk and in my opinion better than hawaii
Pele is back at it again. First Taal, now Kilauea.

Very interested to see thank you for your video
"kilauea is by far the most active volcano in the world, nothing comes close to it"
Anak Krakatoa: Hold my magma...
Mt Merapi in Indonesia is way more active than Anak Krakatoa
Kilauea still more active than krakatoa though
I saw Kilauea from afar last year and it looks magnificent!
Unfortunately though, it doesn't capture every well on a polaroid camera! :,(
Thank you!
3:14 is this mount Mayon in the Philippines
Yes it is
Funny how "the most active volcano in the world" becomes "one of the most active volcanoes" barely 11 seconds into the vid...
i was thinking the same. click bait
the expert they have on there, later in the vid, says it is "absolutely the most active volcano in the world. it covers its own surface every thousand years"
"one of the most active" was just an introduction, which was unneeded since hte yotuube vid has a title.
Likewise, they didn't actually address the question asked in the title of the video.
1:37 if it slides like that will the subterranean hotspot eventually be under a city?
Super cool
Very interested video thank you excellent
But this a good video
Hmmm was the question in the title answered? Cool video though
Lava makes it the most active Volcano.
Jet fuel makes mine
Except the lava stopped two years ago, after continuous flow for about 30 years.
Haha you’re right! I’ve lived on Kilauea for almost 20 years, so I should’ve known better than to test Pele by making a comment like that.
@@lmo7724 Kilauea really is magnificent! I visited from Oahu about half a year ago.
It is NOT the most active - Stromboli in Italy has been in a constant state of actual eruptive activity for over 2000 years and there is evidence that it is much longer!
What is this? Predicting a volcanic apocalypse?
Volcanoes have their on calendar.
It has been 2 years since the eruption stopped. Waiting for the next one.
You’re in luck!
Wonders of the WORLD be like:
Piton De La Furnaice is. Not Kilauea
yeap. Kilauea Fournaise and Etna are in a kind of a competition for this precious title ;)
2:54 Isn't Iceland a hotspot?
No. Iceland is part of the mid-Atlantic ridge. That's not a spot. It's the longest mountain chain in the world and basically goes all the way from the arctic to the antarctic oceans. More associated with rift environment.
And Hawaii is in the middle of the ring of fire, and if magma comes from up the center of a tectonic plate, that’s a hotspot
I have recently found out that Iceland is indeed a hot spot! It just happens to be on top of the mid-Atlantic ridge! So it gets extra lava!
@@amacuro isn’t Laki a shield volcano?
@@amacuro Well that explains why Iceland is seemingly very active volcanically
Wonderful
Wasn't there a volcanologist back in the late 90's or early 2000's who created a thing that could image the inside of volcanoes???
Yes it is called tomography
2:57 You forgot Iceland
The greatest channel on Earth is the Smithsonian Channel.
No bbc the best
Smithsonian Channel is the best
Kilauea never sleeps that volcano is always busy sending out lava and making new land. Kilauea is the entire Big Island of Hawaii every day the citizens of the island have to keep moving their homes because you never know where Kilauea will erupt next. the mountain is always busy thats why we have to send geologist up there to monitor this never sleeping volcano.

Quite correct. Stromboli has been erupting constantly for over 2000 years, and there is evidence that it could be much longer.
The earth is over six thousand years old and the Creator is Eternal. God bless 🙏☝️
Proof?
Let's just say it's because its ALIVE!
what? we... i mean you scientists from developed countries haven't figured it all out yet? *GASP* 😱
Is there a Gon volcano?

as if 2020 couldn't get any worse
the eruption happened 2 years ago they’re a bit late
Why is to mini volcano in Philippines

Well i didnt want to sleep anyways ;)
On fire now!
Hey but wait...
Its The Ring if Fire 🔥
NO? This Alignment HAS SHAKEN US TO THE
CORE. Anyone else see faces in the Lava Lake?
Or have i been to Hawi'i
Too MUCH?!!?
Great
Well thats what i called nether world🤣
Just a guess but....likely it being the most active?
Willing to work with the forest eater to live in paradise.😊
And we that comfortable living in America
beautifully natural volcano and melty thicky liquid lava on the earth...
keep going flow / pour melty thicky liquid lava out from the volcano anyday anytime
But why live next to a volcano 🌋??
Science be like:
and ... What Makes Kilauea the Most Active Volcano in the World?
I still don’t know- I’m watching this for school-
what i dont have lava i dont see 1
Merapi is the most active volcanoes in the world.
6,000 years
Someone get this man some Nasanex.
80 million years old boil Oboy
😮👍👌

Couldn't the Smithsonian have gotten a narrator and expert that could pronounce Kilauea and Hawai'i correctly?! There's an API museum that's part of the Smithsonian...!
From what *I* understand, native Hawaiians get angry at "haoles" who pronounce Hawaiian words correctly.
Nick Hentschel why would u get mad at someone pronouncing it right, maybe something that is personal or something that you have no right to be saying but otherwise I don’t see why it would be bad to know how to speak Hawaiian correctly.
@@kavikanaveli8348 It's probably something like a latino hearing somebody say "tortilla" with an exaggerated fake accent
@@TheSaneHatter if you’re not gonna learn how to pronounce the words correctly then maybe don’t try to speak about someone’s home.

Hello
High on drama, low on information.
The lava
Dang
And this is how new continents are formed
No, that is just hot spots that create volcanoes then a island around it. If the whole world was made like this then everywhere would be covered in volcanoes.

They should build a circular wall around active volcanos to stop the flow. Idk its just an idea
Even rock melts how do you plan to build a wall?
😲
I cant think of a material to stop lava. Good point
