Update! It is now confirmed that there is no ongoing magmatic intrusion. However, magma is heating these geothermal features, but the body of magma in question is stationary, old, and quite deep. What do I mean by this? I will link a video on the subject with updated information on January 11th, 2025.
Another science site more cosmology Earth solar system history has it that there are two magma blobs on near opposite sides of the planet lowest mantle distorting our gravity and guess where one of the blobs exists....under the pacific islands. this they feel explains how the earth's plates moving started after solidifying million years after the moon creation from Earth's collision with another near planet sized asteroid in early solar system. In which I say pieces or another one went onto knock Venus off axis and rotation killing any life it might have started.
@GeologyHub Your comment about Lake Tahoe, is very interesting. In November 2018, while sleeping, the words "Lake Tahoe" were spoken to me. In the dream, I saw a body of water, with curving shorelines. I observed a fast moving current, of a yellow substance (not in the water, but moving through it, along the shoreline. It seemed to be moving south). Then I heard the words "school and water bubbling" spoken. end of dream / note - I live in Canada and have never been to Lake Tahoe.
"... but the truth is, we just do not know." This willingness to admit uncertainties and unwillingness to sensationalize was one of the big reasons I subscribed.
The closer to a scientific source you go, the less willing they are to make conclusive statements. If your sources are making conclusive statements then they either do not actually understand what they are communicating(basically all news outlets), or they are tasked with making an actionable report after a period of study(weather reports might be considered to fit into this category). The universe is complex literally beyond imagining. A volcano may seem like it should be able to be simplified and understood, but even a shallow delving into the numerous, massive, and immeasurable processes involved can't help but blow that belief out of the water.
When this popped into my notifications, I read it as Intrusion of "Manga" Ongoing in Unexpected Location and was somewhat confused. In my own defense, I have not yet had my morning coffee.
That's quite the mental image... the ground beneath a house suddenly turning to mud, bubbling & filling the house with steam in an area not known for volcanism. I'd imagine there's a historian or sociologist out there who's suddenly gone _"hang on... that sounds familiar"_ because a similar event was described in local folklore or mythology. One of the things I love about science is that the more we learn, the more we realise how far back in human history we've actually been noting, interpreting & recording scientific events. I can definitely picture an ancient community ascribing either divine powers or a curse to the owners of an abode in that situation... glad no-one was hurt!
You or I may not be worried, but the folks whose homes are now steam baths have surely been disrupted. Very interesting phenomenon. Thanks for posting.
Fun facts, Indonesia is 2nd in the world for geothermal power production, and 40% of the world's potential geothermal power generating capacity (that we know of) is also in Indonesia.
I always worried about a volcano coming up in my backyard or in our _basement_ in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, when I was a little kid. Say like age 8 in 1968 when I had read a school library book called "All About Volcanoes and Earthquakes". And it had a scary illustration of Paricutin erupting with people moving away from it carrying all of their belongings, on the front cover. That volcano coming up in a cornfield in 1943 _really_ captured my imagination.
While on the topic of the island of Borneo. How about an explanation of the formation of Mt Kinabalu. I had the pleasure of climbing it a few years ago. It is a truly fascinating mountain, both geologically and biologically, with species of plants and animals that exist nowhere else.
Endemic plants on isolated tropical cloud forest mountaintops is actually a very common phenomenon. The geology though is pretty cool, IIRC its the most geologically recent large exposed granite batholith, emplaced as recently as the Cenozoic.
@@GeologyHub Yes, and I was surprised at the length of there neck. The most interesting however was a meeting I had with a British entomologist who was on the mountain to catch and catalogue new species of insects. This guy was fascinating. He was finding thing every other day. Where on earth can you go and find a new species every other day? it was mind blowing. Looking back I wish I had got more information about him and his findings.
As an Indonesian, I actually surprised and searched (superficially) about this oddity. This new hotspring called Biatan/Pamapak Hot Spring, named after the village where it was founded by locals in 2012. Local government (thankfully) taking care of it and made it into tourist attraction. It's not as active and sulfuric as any hot spring in my province (Ciater and Ciwidey, both in West Java), maybe because it's way too far from magma underneath (Ciater located near Tangkuban Parahu, meanwhile Ciwidey near Kawah Putih and Rengganis Crater). Haven't found any article that mentions new hot springs or fumarole inside people houses in Tanjung Redeb, but I won't argue, though. Thank you so much for this valuable information, GeologyHub.
It's neerly happening in Ethiopia! Due to an earthquake swarm many new fermaroles has opened up. This is really scary! Many people can't get out of the region. They need transport, but they are so poor they can't effort it! This is frightened me!

Earthquake activity picking up... Just felt tremors in Delhi from today's 7.0 earthquake in Tibet... I hope the people in Tibet nepal and Bhutan are ok
So this is some 600 km north of Indonesia’s new capital city, Ibu Kota Nusantara. That “zone of low velocity anomaly at depth” mentioned at 3:35 does come very close to Nusantara. Jakarta is sinking: here’s hoping that Indonesia’s politicians consulted with geologists when picking out the site for the new capital.
Wow! Amazing stuff! I'm keen to get an update on what's happening in Ethiopia too so if you're able to do a video on that, that'd be great! Given that the activity there seems to be almost exactly halfway between the existing volcanoes, I was thinking that it might possibly be a new volcano forming (like Paricutin) rather than an eruption associated with an existing volcano. Is that the case or not? Thanks!
There are coal deposits in the volcanically active Pacific Northwest, especially in Washington State which were mined up until the 1980s. Seattle actually has suburbs called Newcastle and Black Diamond.
Yep. Seems that Tim completely subscribes to the biotic origin of carbohydrates dogma. I wonder what he thinks where the carbohydrates in the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan come from, or the ones detected in the various planetary nebula in our galaxy.
Yeah but that's cause the area where the coal is isn't where the volcanoes are. Due to the North Cascades microcontinent, a decent amount of the land even in the west of the state is actually pretty old, and there are some old lowlands that got uplifted due to it docking. The Chuckanut formation which once formed lowland tropical swamps now exists in glacially carved hills. The PNW has some very unique and complicated geology that leads to a lot of unexpected phenomena, its definitely not a good example for the norm. I think generally the bigger issue with carbon based minerals and rocks not existing much in volcanically active regions is that the land is just too young and unstable to have built these deposits up over time.
@@StuffandThings_ Ok, you know your area. Although Seattle is famous for being built on some sandflats and will sink during an earthquake. Otoh, I know my area and my grandfather was a coal miner. You don't get coal in some lowlands, you find coal in the hills. It needs heat and pressure to form. Coal mines are also always hot. Not volcano hot but hot enough. And volcanoes are dangerous enough that we don't build mines close to them. And as far as I know, diamonds form when coal gets enough pressure. I just watched a video the other day with arguments for abiotic origin of carbohydrates. I am not willing to exclude that. We got Carbonatites and water and if those mixed right, could form carbohydrates. But when those get exposed to air and ignite and go back to water and CO2 before we see them, we don't see them and think they are not there.
It reminds me a bit of Yellowstone + Campi Flagrei... Steam, bubbling water, etc. And no huge mountain! I guess this could be how a "normal" volcano starts...before it forms a big mountain.. But since no huge volcano mountain yet the acitivity reminds me of the 2 well known calderas.
Hydrothermal features like these can be associated with any magma body composition -- whether basaltic magmas that produce highly effusive eruptions, to andesitic to dacitic magmas associated with the construction of stratovolcano cones, to huge rhyolitic magma bodies that generate big VEI-7 and 8 eruptions.
Borneo, in terms of geologic stability and volcanic activity, has more in common with Australia than with the rest of the Malay archipelago or New Zealand.
an interesting video. One of things that might help me and other viewers is if you could explain the thermocline of the interior of the earth. At some of the depths in the video, is the average temperature already very high (above 100C) or what? Every time I see this little magma intrusions I wonder what is the temperature differences to the surrounding rock. Please and thank you!
Wow! I live at the base of a previous volcano here in Hawaii and I just can’t imagine this same scenario happening here but… I suppose it could and that anything is possible. Strange, I recently made a few contacts in Borneo on 10 meters and nothing volcanic in nature was ever mentioned. The 10 and 11 meter bands on HF had been exceptionaly good as we are getting ready to peak in the 11 year solar cycle and the bands are getting better and better every month now. 👍
2:27 , can you explain how the coal would be boiled away? Would it be from subsurface water around it being boiled, breaking up the coal and washing it away? Or would it rather just be burned away from the heat?
Coal burns which is why us humans like using it for energy. Magma makes rocks hot. Hot rocks burn coal. Coal burns away without humans getting to find any. Or you can just say it destroys it. It could also get so hot it sublimates into CO2 and other gases or some other wild phenomenon. But mostly it burns. It isn't perfect as there are some areas with volcanoes and coal, but there has to be some kind of separation. Even distance and depth. You can't set the dirt on fire, boil away all the water, and keep the coal seams inside from also catching fire in the same little zone of an eruption. There are coal mines that have been burning for decades because the gas caught fire from torches or something, and they won't stop because the fuel and oxidizers are unending.
I feel bad for the person that had their house messed up. Hope it is still livable and doesn't cost much to fix. Though it sounds like they may just want to become homeless for a bit and move to bridge somewhere safer until they can start their life over.
Indonesia in volcanism is the same as Australia in zoology. Even in areas with volcanic activity deemed practically impossible, geological threats are lurking, waiting for the perfect ambush opportunity.
I've been working on a hypothesis for a while now, and I'm trying to figure out if there is any geologic record for the last few hundred thousand years or so that shows a mass volcano eruption in North America happening all at roughly the same time. I'm working on a pretty big idea, and my googling isn't turning up much on the subject.
hello I was wondering if you could do a video about the Peaktu volcano in North Korea I can't see a video on it. If there is can someone send me the link :)
Although this doesn't appear to bea new volcanic vent forming; could there still be dangers from spring or ground water intrusion into pockets and then with increased heat and pressure; could there the potential for a rupture or explosion of high temperature water or steam at the surface and this posing risk to human life? Or is it more likely that Borneo just has new permanent hot springs now? I think everyone kind of understands that if any liquid is hot a viscous enough there is always the potential volcanic vent to form at any time?
Back in the late 1970's early 1980's, I regularly flew between Tarakan and Samarinda in a Britten Norman Islander or Trilander. Stopped a few times at Tanjung Redup - before the big coal mining operations. Most of Kalimantan was covered by virgin tropical rain forest. Magnificent flying at low altitude following the intrusive mountain edges. A bit risky though because if we had gone down no one would have found the wreck. Much of the soil was very poor - due to lack of recent volcanic activity and nutrients unlike Sumatera or Java where the soil is very fertile. The old forests were sometimes 1000's of years old, the roots buried in a mixture of peat and compost which had built up over millennia. Clearing the forest yielded very poor soil for growing crops. Mostly slash and burn dryish rice. There are old oil fields in east Kalimantan. - Balikpapan, Tarakan, Bunyu etc. Also some LNG. I'm surprised to learn about these boiling hot springs. Perhaps pressure related rather than Magmatic? A lot of coal has been taken out of the areas around Tanjung Redub - possibly mining activity has caused a shift in underlying geology????
Fox 12 news in Portland made a video saying the volcano off the shores of Oregon (Axial Seamount) could erupt in 2025. Do you mind making an update video on this volcano? Thanks!
Believe it ir not my Mom had steam coming from the ground in the front yard of our family home. She said it was only coming from one spot she didn't get any footage of it but, it was 34°c on that day.
Could this be the beginnings of an entirely new volcanic zone? Its probably not going to do anything now, but what does this mean for the area in a million years?
What about Krakatoa as has been very active for the last 20 years and coursed one of the biggest blast in history. It's placed between Java and Sumatra
There is a recent paper amount the change in viscosity of the magma beneath the mantle due to engery stored in the rocks thanks to sun's activity and recent aurora, weak earths magnetic field. Hope I got that right...
Your videos are very good, quick and to the point... but somehow your voice sounds so much like the AI voices used in those awful AI generated science videos, that it took me a while to realise you just kinda sound like that and your videos are actually really interesting.
Jet is indeed metamorphic coal. It is in fact the lowest form of coal as opposed to bituminous and anthracite coal. It is 25-35% carbon vs anthracite which is 92-95 % carbon.
In 1958 a marvellous rockabilly star called Johnny Horton had two hits: North to Alaska, and Battle of New Orleans. Go listen. Your lyrics fit right in!
Isn't the island of Boneo younger than its sister islands formed by volcanic activity. I thought that there was some belief that the subterrean parts of Borneo were originally raised up due to volcanic activity but that ended to it breaking the surface and the it was built up by other mechanisms that deposited sendiment too create Borneo, but the reason volcanic activity can only be suspected is that any signs of volcanism remained under water and were well eroded even before sendiment built up enough to bring the surface above sea level, and as no core sampling deep enough to reach possinle volcanic rock has never been done on or near Borneo. If anyy part of that speculation is true, could plate movement altered things enough that very deep magma has found weaker areas in the crust that may have been part of the very ancient system now allowing a route for magma to intrude closer to the surface areas of Borneo although still to deepbto do much more than warm areas in thr crust to affect deep grpund water? And there are also geologists that think that what happens along one side of a plate can affect things onbthe other side, such as plate activity in the pacific off of Japan can seem to create activity along the US west coast. If that is the case could what is happening in Ethiopia have pushed enough to affect areas of Indonesia, even areas that have shown little geological movement or activity for many millenia?
If you are referring to the article which looked at seismic tomographic data via some new analysis techniques then it was finding that there is fresher higher melt content material to the *Northeast* within the complex suggesting the plume source continues to shift as North America moves Southwest. If that isn't it then I'm unsure of what you are talking about. There is activity to the west in the Snake river plain and some relatively recent i.e. less than a million years old so practically yesterday) Lamproites to the NE of Yellowstone which might also have some association with the Yellowstone mantle plume especially since seismic tomography is revealing that the Wyoming craton is much thinner than expected possibly because the plume head has been undercutting it though with the path of least resistance for melts still being to the SW through the old Caldera complex which has developed on top of a Eocene aged volcanic province known as the Absarokas which were a chain of ~50 Ma old stratovolcanoes.
Update! It is now confirmed that there is no ongoing magmatic intrusion. However, magma is heating these geothermal features, but the body of magma in question is stationary, old, and quite deep. What do I mean by this? I will link a video on the subject with updated information on January 11th, 2025.
I think this is the first year in our lifetime where it is all literally up in the air of what to expect from previous knowledge.
Has an underground coal seam fire been ruled out?

2:27 , can you explain how the coal would be boiled away? Would it be from subsurface water around it being boiled, breaking up the coal and washing it away? Or would it rather just be burned away from the heat?
Volcanic activity destroys coal outright, not boils it away just effectively breaks it down.
Coal burns which is why us humans like using it for energy. Magma makes rocks hot. Hot rocks burn coal. Coal burns away without humans getting to find any. Or you can just say it destroys it. It could also get so hot it sublimates into CO2 and other gases or some other wild phenomenon. But mostly it burns.
It isn't perfect as there are some areas with volcanoes and coal, but there has to be some kind of separation. Even distance and depth. You can't set the dirt on fire, boil away all the water, and keep the coal seams inside from also catching fire in the same little zone of an eruption. There are coal mines that have been burning for decades because the gas caught fire from torches or something, and they won't stop because the fuel and oxidizers are unending.
I feel bad for the person that had their house messed up. Hope it is still livable and doesn't cost much to fix. Though it sounds like they may just want to become homeless for a bit and move to bridge somewhere safer until they can start their life over.
try explaining that to the insurance agent
Well, 16km is not deep enough for me, tbh. However, I think I'd be more thrown if this happened in Boston or something.
Indonesia in volcanism is the same as Australia in zoology. Even in areas with volcanic activity deemed practically impossible, geological threats are lurking, waiting for the perfect ambush opportunity.
Imagine you just in the living room and boom surprise Sauna
I've been working on a hypothesis for a while now, and I'm trying to figure out if there is any geologic record for the last few hundred thousand years or so that shows a mass volcano eruption in North America happening all at roughly the same time. I'm working on a pretty big idea, and my googling isn't turning up much on the subject.
(John Cleese voice) "Well, that's a bloody nuisance."
Or John Cleese in the dead parrot sketch with Michael Palin who says: "It's not DEAD; it's sleeping." Those words totally apply to volcanoes.
hello I was wondering if you could do a video about the Peaktu volcano in North Korea I can't see a video on it. If there is can someone send me the link :)
If something weird happens, it's always either in Indonesia, or Nottingham, England.
A new era is unfolding before our eyes
It's midnight here in Ethiopia but I can't sleep. Our government carelessness makes us worried too much
I am so sorry for your worry and restlessness... I can imagine how you feel.
It’s very scary for you. So sorry 🍀🍀🍀
just get out of there for a month or two.
could it possibly be a new mantle hotspot arising?
structural lineament>?? didnt hear about that before? care to elaborate?
what is a linement?
Although this doesn't appear to bea new volcanic vent forming; could there still be dangers from spring or ground water intrusion into pockets and then with increased heat and pressure; could there the potential for a rupture or explosion of high temperature water or steam at the surface and this posing risk to human life?
Or is it more likely that Borneo just has new permanent hot springs now?
I think everyone kind of understands that if any liquid is hot a viscous enough there is always the potential volcanic vent to form at any time?
Back in the late 1970's early 1980's, I regularly flew between Tarakan and Samarinda in a Britten Norman Islander or Trilander. Stopped a few times at Tanjung Redup - before the big coal mining operations. Most of Kalimantan was covered by virgin tropical rain forest. Magnificent flying at low altitude following the intrusive mountain edges. A bit risky though because if we had gone down no one would have found the wreck. Much of the soil was very poor - due to lack of recent volcanic activity and nutrients unlike Sumatera or Java where the soil is very fertile. The old forests were sometimes 1000's of years old, the roots buried in a mixture of peat and compost which had built up over millennia. Clearing the forest yielded very poor soil for growing crops. Mostly slash and burn dryish rice.
There are old oil fields in east Kalimantan. - Balikpapan, Tarakan, Bunyu etc. Also some LNG.
I'm surprised to learn about these boiling hot springs. Perhaps pressure related rather than Magmatic? A lot of coal has been taken out of the areas around Tanjung Redub - possibly mining activity has caused a shift in underlying geology????
Fox 12 news in Portland made a video saying the volcano off the shores of Oregon (Axial Seamount) could erupt in 2025. Do you mind making an update video on this volcano? Thanks!
Free hot water
Comes with other high cost's.
Aren't plate tectonics amazing?
Believe it ir not my Mom had steam coming from the ground in the front yard of our family home. She said it was only coming from one spot she didn't get any footage of it but, it was 34°c on that day.
Authorities in Victoria Australia did say there was a Mineral melt between Geelong and Ballarat in the Newer Volcanics province Victoria.
Could this be the beginnings of an entirely new volcanic zone? Its probably not going to do anything now, but what does this mean for the area in a million years?
What about Krakatoa as has been very active for the last 20 years and coursed one of the biggest blast in history. It's placed between Java and Sumatra
💯💯💯
There is a recent paper amount the change in viscosity of the magma beneath the mantle due to engery stored in the rocks thanks to sun's activity and recent aurora, weak earths magnetic field. Hope I got that right...
Half a year later: Onsen business in Kalimantan is booming
Your videos are very good, quick and to the point... but somehow your voice sounds so much like the AI voices used in those awful AI generated science videos, that it took me a while to realise you just kinda sound like that and your videos are actually really interesting.
Wait, what about the Three Sisters?
Make a video on earthquake in Tibet yesterday.
He has, though probably just after you posted this.
Lava cake is delicious
Very very bizarre
Is anything unusual happening under the Saudi Arabian plate?
Prospect for a geothermal plant...
🔥🔥
Sounds a bit too eerie to the movie Volcano.
This could happen where you live.
magma... really... quick question; WHEN or WHERE has magma ever been observed????
*** news flash **** lava is not magma.
Yeah I put this Volcano on notification completely knowing it was going to erupt.
Isn't jet a metamorphic coal?
Jet is indeed metamorphic coal. It is in fact the lowest form of coal as opposed to bituminous and anthracite coal. It is 25-35% carbon vs anthracite which is 92-95 % carbon.
Yeah your home is of geologic interest and we're going to have to tax you for the new Hot Spring underneath your dwelling❤😂
72 volcanoes at present.
when the road is mud
everything stops with a thud
that's the way it goes
way down yonder in Borneo
In 1958 a marvellous rockabilly star called Johnny Horton had two hits: North to Alaska, and Battle of New Orleans. Go listen. Your lyrics fit right in!
Isn't the island of Boneo younger than its sister islands formed by volcanic activity. I thought that there was some belief that the subterrean parts of Borneo were originally raised up due to volcanic activity but that ended to it breaking the surface and the it was built up by other mechanisms that deposited sendiment too create Borneo, but the reason volcanic activity can only be suspected is that any signs of volcanism remained under water and were well eroded even before sendiment built up enough to bring the surface above sea level, and as no core sampling deep enough to reach possinle volcanic rock has never been done on or near Borneo.
If anyy part of that speculation is true, could plate movement altered things enough that very deep magma has found weaker areas in the crust that may have been part of the very ancient system now allowing a route for magma to intrude closer to the surface areas of Borneo although still to deepbto do much more than warm areas in thr crust to affect deep grpund water? And there are also geologists that think that what happens along one side of a plate can affect things onbthe other side, such as plate activity in the pacific off of Japan can seem to create activity along the US west coast. If that is the case could what is happening in Ethiopia have pushed enough to affect areas of Indonesia, even areas that have shown little geological movement or activity for many millenia?
Your home insurance would probably deny the claim. Everyone: please get an insurance rider for damages from magmatic intrusions !
The proceeding post is brought to you by the Insurance Sales Association of 'Merica...
Insurance don't provide coverage for things they consider "An Act Of God".
I heard there was volcanic activity North-West of Yellowstone. Is this accurate?
If you are referring to the article which looked at seismic tomographic data via some new analysis techniques then it was finding that there is fresher higher melt content material to the *Northeast* within the complex suggesting the plume source continues to shift as North America moves Southwest.
If that isn't it then I'm unsure of what you are talking about. There is activity to the west in the Snake river plain and some relatively recent i.e. less than a million years old so practically yesterday) Lamproites to the NE of Yellowstone which might also have some association with the Yellowstone mantle plume especially since seismic tomography is revealing that the Wyoming craton is much thinner than expected possibly because the plume head has been undercutting it though with the path of least resistance for melts still being to the SW through the old Caldera complex which has developed on top of a Eocene aged volcanic province known as the Absarokas which were a chain of ~50 Ma old stratovolcanoes.
Thanks for 'boiling' this all down for us. 😆
