My babe had left me because l kept waking her up and now these comments are all that l have left to remind me of that time. Apart from a restraining order.
This isn't a size issue is it .....I noticed the word small is a self reflection word .....an as much as the babe is asleep you might want to go see about rehab or something....
Hurricanes seem like a good water parallel, though it is just tornadoes again but now so big they spawn other tornadoes… blizzards could be good too, or underwater storm systems. But I don’t know much about those.
This channel is really like a volcano. Sits months without any signs of activity, then drops over a hour long essay! Hope to see next one sooner than a year!
Glad you covered the Hunga-Tonga Hunga-Ha'apai eruption, it's effect was significant even in the year that followed. I live in Australia, and 2022/23 were some of the wettest years in the last decade, flood after flood after flood, which then caused an insect boom; some preliminary studies done suggest that it was THAT eruption that caused such a significant year in term of weather.
The Hunga Tonga eruption ejected absolutely ridiculous amounts of water vapor into the upper atmosphere, so weather systems since then have been working with a surplus of moisture. It's expected that even years down the road, some regions will still feel the effects from it.
@@RojoFern 100%, the eruption was an anomaly in that way in that it was incredibly ash poor. Scientists were struggling to assign a VEI rating for a while iirc simply because the ejecta was mainly water vapour. It circles back to what you said about the VEI system being a complete mess, it falls short on unique eruptions like Hunga Tonga
This video is just unforgettable. There’s less emphasis on learning information permanently and more emphasis on inspiring awe in the viewer at the size of Earth’s features. Which is great. It’s well written for long-haul doc watchers, and each part can be watched separately without feeling disjointed. I had to return multiple times to this video to savor it. Never knew I’d be interested in this topic.
SPOILERS: That final map of the Siberian Traps eruption wasn't a single explosion, but a slow toxic miasma that took place over 100,000 years. the map shows where the lava flows are (which are 3km deep in some places) but it wasn't all at once. However that didn't stop it from killing 90% of life on earth, nearly filtering the one place life exists as far as we know.
The gases it emitted suffocated all living things at the time...I think it also lasted for atleast 2 million years. Or that might've been the deccan traps.
There was also a (smaller) one when india split off from africa, called the deccan traps, and that one happened around 65 million years ago, helping kill off the dino's
Despite the massive scale of all the pyroclastic flow and plumes one can only guess, the real extinction event lied in the gases that were released. Enough CO2 and other gases were ejected to trigger a runaway warming event that effectively put the whole biosphere in a slow-cooker. Only the most resilient and remote lifeforms stood a chance at surviving that.
I will drop literally anything I'm doing to stop and watch what is undoubtedly profound greatness from this channel after that tornado scale documentary. Cheers.
I have been a STRONG advocate for Rakaposhi in Pakistan being considered one of the tallest mountains on earth when you measure from base to peak. It often gets overlooked because Denali is more famous and everyone keeps citing the same few articles claiming that Denali is the tallest. The fact that you mentioned Rakaposhi and its larger elevation difference of 5800m from base to peak shows me that you have done a ridiculous amount of research for this video. Subscribed.
First Fall of Civilizations drops a 6 hours and 45 minutes monster documentary about the history of the Mongols and steppe civilizations in general, and now this underrated guy I haven't even seen before just drops a mega-colossal 1 hour banger. I think I'm getting too spoiled this Christmas ngl.
I do wonder what could be next. Hurricanes? Waterfalls? Tsunamis? Planets? (Black holes has honourable mention, but I can't think for a great narrative for those)
Storms would be an idea, yes. mostly because you can jump from terrestrial storms to the extraterrestrial planets, perhaps even looking outwards to the stars themselves?
My money's on asteroid impacts. Probably the biggest explosions we see on Earth, and the only natural disasters with scope rivaling the largest volcanoes. With the big twist in the credits being the primordial impact with a Mars-sized planet which theoretically created the moon.
I live in Auckland. I remember one day when working outside in the backyard we heard a boom. It sounded pretty loud and we thought someone had dropped somthing heavy a few streets away. It was only when seeing the news later in the day that I put two and two together, looked up the Himawari 8 satellite feed and saw that volcano go up and the preasure wave spread out like a ripple in a pond. The timing matched- and I realised what that bang had been.
The simplistic yet very clear format of those comparisons, the sustain, the build-up, the impact - I have never felt so much goosebumps for such a minimalistic yet stunningly mind-engaging content. This is the only creator who can achieve that, truly masterful writing, pace and montage makes those lengthy video essays seem way shorter and much more enjoyable than any YT video of that size should be. This deserves to go big. Well done RojoFern, you did it again!!
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MENTIONED, WOOO! As a Utahn, I do recognize why geology has become so huge at the U. SO much rock on display, so little forest or population to interfere. 10/10 video!
SLC Utahn here! I guess I had no idea that was a focus there! I'll have to learn more! I know within tornado science their work with mobile dopplers has been really cool
Researching the Siberian Traps on my own time was an absolutely incredible ride. From what I've been able to gather, it's currently thought that the eruption that made it not only lasted for two *MILLION* years straight, but also that it either contributed to or directly caused The Great Dying, Earth's greatest mass extinction event; From my understanding of the statistics, the creation of the Siberian Traps killed *half of all life on Earth.* The traps might also have been caused by an asteroid that could've been twice the size of the one that killed the dinosuars smacking into modern-day Antarctica and basically sending an obscene amount of magma to the surface on the opposite side of the globe. It's absolutely insane how powerful that eruption was.
I all but forgot about that amazing tornado video, this thumbnail awoke something within me. I would have never clicked if the thumbnail didn’t give me this little inkling of a memory. Branding works!
i cannot tell you how hyped i was when i saw you were working on another of these, i've watched the scale of tornadoes, scale of mushroom clouds, and nuclear sideshows at LEAST 20-30 times each. i absolutely adore this style of videos, the information you cover, and your voice ties it all together. looks like i'll have another video to watch on repeat for the next few months :D thanks rojo!
Absolutely love these scale videos that arent a quick 5-10 min scroll of misrepresented phenomena. Perhaps a Scale of Waves would peak your interest (Tsunamis, Freak Waves, Rogue Waves, etc). Great Content! :D
very aesthetic and chill video! as someone who extensively studied vulcanoes for the last 18 months i can also say that it was also very well researched and supported by accurate information.
I gotta say, your video essays rival EmpLemon for some of the best I’ve seen on this platform, and they’re only getting better. You have so much potential.
I'm not usually one to compare TH-camrs to each other as that's generally frowned upon I believe, but I'm inclined to agree here. His editing has serious potential to rival that of EmpLemon, he has a calming voice, and he's entertaining. Looking forwards to whatever is to come from this channel!
@woofy9977 I figure it's just generally disrespectful to go "Yeah they're on par with X" or "Oh X is better than Y" when both channels have worked to create their own individual styles. Maybe I'm just being silly though lol
Never, never stop if you can. This video was amazing, and I loved each second of it. At every chapter the stakes got higher, and you managed to keep me hooked on. Great job, I will be surely binge watching your other videos now, while we await a new one!
I’m starting university next year studying earth science and this video has confirmed to me that I’m absolutely making the right choice. This was absolutely captivating in both content and presentation!
I just summited Maunakea in November, absolutely beautiful, and a wacky experience to come up to the top to a view of an asphalt road with signs and a guardrail, with huge monolithic observatories littering the peak. Definitely my most surreal climbing experiences.
You're genuinely one of the most underrated channels on youtube dude, your editing is amazing, and i can just sit and watch the whole thing on topics i never thought I'd be interested in
This was the most comprehensive, informative, and entertaining video about volcanoes that I have ever seen! I really enjoyed your narrative, and how you explained things so that even someone like me can understand how volcanoes work, this video was extremely fascinating, well done!
I love your work! the calm demeanor and the excellent pacing, plus 1Hr videos is perfect for me to unwind and learn something, and have a mild existential crisis over living near multiple volcanoes
THE KING HAS SPOKEN ONCEMORE!!!!!!!! you are nojoke my favorite youtuber on this platform and the reason i got into meteorology in the first place i love your longform AND shortform videos your videos are super clear, polished, and funny and i literally JUMPED when i saw this in my notifications i would also like to know - what do you use to make your silhouettes? how do you make them? - would you ever consider doing anything with TLE's (upper atmospheric lightning)?
this is by a landslide your best video, just absolutely incredible. the editing was top notch, the way you narrate is so satisfying, everything. PLEASE do more like this!!! :)
This is a masterclass in how to communicate complex information to more and less (me, for sure) subject matter-informed audiences. Maybe one of THE BEST educational videos, on any subject, I have seen. I don’t know anything about you or your background, RojoFern; now I know this: you are a STRATO-COMMUNICATOR and STORYTELLER! Wow. Thanks.
A bit surprised you didn't mention Ol Doinyo Lengai while discussing viscosity and silica content. It's famous for its carbonatite magma, with just 25% silica which makes it look almost lahar like and its also quite cool compared to other lava types(in terms of temperature and coolness) Theres also the underappreciated phenomenon of volcanic lightning and LIVS but that probably because of our poor understanding of lightning formation itself. Also, another fact is that the erstwhile presidential plane of the Philippines ominously named Mt. Pinatubo crashed in 1957, killing the erstwhile president ramon magsaysay and 24 others. The complex integration at 42:42 (assuming its a borwein integral) isn't complex really. I don't think it uses complex numbers so its real integration not complex integration(pls ignore Fourier, i think it can be done without fourier) .... I'll see myself out Also speaking of meterological phenomenon with the lightning stuff theres also volcanic vortex rings which are just so cool and have a really pretty equation with elliptic integrals and ten thousand specifically made functions. Thanks very well made video now my tummy go rumbly with earthquakes imma go eat a lava cake ..... I'll see myself out again.
Ol Doinyo Lengai has both magmas. Low-silica magma, and high-silica magma. It has both effusive and explosive eruptions. Its the solar system's most unique volcano.
I'm so glad i found this channel. This is the kind of content that i live for. It's gotten to the point where i cherish this kind of stuff more than anything i used to get from TV. It would be so cool to see a video focused on Magnetism, Plasma, Super fluids, heck it don't matter I'll enjoy it no matter what.
I missed the 1 in the vids length, I thought it was a 10 minute and 19 second vid. I took a bit before I said to myself "it's starting to feel longer than 10 minutes", this was at the 53 minute mark. So, an outstanding and excellent vid, it kept my undivided attention for nearly an hour before I noticed how much time had passed.
Entire seas of lava, the sizes of entire countries. It would probably be hard to even grasp the scale of such things. There's also the Decan Traps in India, which were comparably massive, and are hypothesized to have been a contributing factor to the extinction of the large dinosaurs, together with the asteroid Chicxulub.
Scales of tornadoes, nukes, now vulcanoes- We´re running out of big things to scale, aren´t we? What a shame. Your essays are wonderful! I can be stoned as a wall, the info still get´s thru. That´s an achievement! And as I said before: Your choices of music and the sometimes humorous sarcastic comment as well as many other traits- You are very good at explaining things. Happy new Year, Mr.Fern!
This is the first video of yours that I have watched, but it certainly won't be the last. I absolutely adore and truly appreciate your presentation, particularly the "gaps" you leave, where you can make a black screen have more power than flashy graphics ever could hope for. This was a great video, thank you :)
these scale videos of yours are stupefying. your script and editing are polished, unique, funny, and your work is greatly appreciated. keep up the great work
When I watched your "scales of nuke" video, I totally felt like the obvious next step would be a scale of volcanoes video. The idea danced around in my mind, but I never would have expected to see it happen. So surreal to finally see this. KEEP COOKING, ROJOFERN 🔥
After watching it I came to a conclusion that your essays are the best man. I like how there's accual tention building in this videos of yours as they go by. I had a similar feeling with this one to your Scale of a mushrrom cloud. Just showing how big and interesting this all is. What's more is that it leaves me amazed by entire topic and gets me to learn more. And a very plesent side effect is that as a non native english speaker I always translate everything that I don't get or some more technical words that I wouldn't really stumbled upon. Can't wait till your next essay. Merry Christmas and thank you for that over 1h wild ride
I gave you a like after watching to minute 2 once I realized the channel wasn't a copycat. I then waited patiently for the final subject only to be gotcha'd. Still leaving the like after watching mostly info I knew, your presentation style is that good.
Again, RojoFern makes one of the best videos on TH-cam. Absolutely enjoyed every second of it. Honestly he should send one of these to PBS or Netflix, this is at that level if not beyond it. Keep up the great work Rojo, you are the best and man this one didn't disappoint.
WHEN LAVA POURS OUT NEAR THE SEA'S SURFACE, TREMENDOUS VOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS SOMETIMES OCCUR. IN TIME, SUBMARINE SEAMOUNTS AND ISLANDS ARE FORMED. Love your choice in soundtrack, Rojo. You really know how to put our minds at ease at such tense times as preparing for a dive.
man.. this timing is just amazing.. after not watching/thinking about this channel for like 10 months, i just in the last couple of days rewatched all 3 previous long form essayes with friends and family.. and now this?? best Christmas present i could ask for!
Watched this at 2am because I’m off work for Christmas and New Year and I’ve completely messed up my sleep schedule. Awesome video as always. Like the others, I will return to this one again and again when I need background noise for days with no meetings.
I love the stuff man, keep up the good work! One small thing i want to point out, a few parts of the video felt like the silence was drawn out for a bit too long, if i ever rewatch the video I’ll be sure to leave timestamps. Other than that, it was nice
When a certain track named Hyper Gamma Spaces starts playing. But seriously, this is absolutely outstanding content. So, so well done on all fronts. You gained a sub and a fan, buddy.👏
I love your video essays so much. They are sooo interesting and well done. It’s an art to describe scales in just this simple yet effective way using shapes. Incredible work once again! Also the scripting is super nice and the music fits perfectly.

Now Earth (Volcanoes)
I cant wait to see Water!
oh boy! largest tsunamis maybe?? or floods??
If he makes a video on tsunamis I'm betting you he will end it off by mentioning rogue waves
Hurricanes seem like a good water parallel, though it is just tornadoes again but now so big they spawn other tornadoes… blizzards could be good too, or underwater storm systems. But I don’t know much about those.
Rogue waves please.

Ol Doinyo Lengai has both magmas. Low-silica magma, and high-silica magma. It has both effusive and explosive eruptions. Its the solar system's most unique volcano.
I'm so glad i found this channel. This is the kind of content that i live for. It's gotten to the point where i cherish this kind of stuff more than anything i used to get from TV. It would be so cool to see a video focused on Magnetism, Plasma, Super fluids, heck it don't matter I'll enjoy it no matter what.
How is this channel not bigger? These videos are so entertaining who knew they would want a complete comparison on how large volcanoes are.
I missed the 1 in the vids length, I thought it was a 10 minute and 19 second vid. I took a bit before I said to myself "it's starting to feel longer than 10 minutes", this was at the 53 minute mark. So, an outstanding and excellent vid, it kept my undivided attention for nearly an hour before I noticed how much time had passed.
I think "RojoFern Level" can be a new benchmark for natural phenomena-related documentaries. This stuff is just too good.
One can only imagine what the Siberian traps would have looked like in person.
Entire seas of lava, the sizes of entire countries. It would probably be hard to even grasp the scale of such things.
There's also the Decan Traps in India, which were comparably massive, and are hypothesized to have been a contributing factor to the extinction of the large dinosaurs, together with the asteroid Chicxulub.
Hell.
No clue why you don't have millions of subs...some of the best documentary work I've seen on this platform.
Legit screamed when I saw the upload! Thank you for making such awesome videos man
Scales of tornadoes, nukes, now vulcanoes- We´re running out of big things to scale, aren´t we? What a shame. Your essays are wonderful! I can be stoned as a wall, the info still get´s thru. That´s an achievement! And as I said before: Your choices of music and the sometimes humorous sarcastic comment as well as many other traits- You are very good at explaining things.
Happy new Year, Mr.Fern!
Merry Christmas, RojoFern. Nice to see another upload from you :)
This is the first video of yours that I have watched, but it certainly won't be the last. I absolutely adore and truly appreciate your presentation, particularly the "gaps" you leave, where you can make a black screen have more power than flashy graphics ever could hope for.
This was a great video, thank you :)
respect, you arent taking these lightly and it shows, thanks for the effort man, its really refreshing to see.
starts 11:18
these scale videos of yours are stupefying. your script and editing are polished, unique, funny, and your work is greatly appreciated. keep up the great work
When I watched your "scales of nuke" video, I totally felt like the obvious next step would be a scale of volcanoes video. The idea danced around in my mind, but I never would have expected to see it happen. So surreal to finally see this.
KEEP COOKING, ROJOFERN 🔥
That Krakatoa scene gave me chills, amazing work!
The way I was thinking, "they better mention peak to core distance" and got absolutely called out at 17:29 killed me 😂
Music at 16:29 is groovy
Epic video. Didnt realize this wasn’t a large channel. Exceptional quality.
Love your style and and the Boards of Canada reference with Krakatoa (the coolest volcano eruption)
Outstanding video. This entire series of "The scale of" has been fantastic but you really did something special here.
The retro sound effects in the very beginning make me feel safe & cozy
Your pacing and content are unlike anything i've ever seen. Informative but also funny as hell, its awesome
I opened Shazam as soon as the music caught my attention! Then I was delighted to discover you listed it at the end. Wonderful gift!
Best. Christmas. Ever.
Love the content, never forget how much we value you, oh great Plant of Red!
Already psyched for the scale of hurricanes
you literally do the best video essays I have ever seen
Your visual style is amazing, dude. i love it
You deserve more views and subscribers.
Love your video, jokes and references
Very amazing video that shows passion and love were put into it. Thank You for taking the time to make such an entertaining and informative video.
a banger has dropped
Sorry it was mine
After watching it I came to a conclusion that your essays are the best man. I like how there's accual tention building in this videos of yours as they go by. I had a similar feeling with this one to your Scale of a mushrrom cloud. Just showing how big and interesting this all is. What's more is that it leaves me amazed by entire topic and gets me to learn more.
And a very plesent side effect is that as a non native english speaker I always translate everything that I don't get or some more technical words that I wouldn't really stumbled upon. Can't wait till your next essay. Merry Christmas and thank you for that over 1h wild ride
Watched 30 secs and decided to subscribe. Underrated content.
Holy volcano RojoFern, the production quality on this video is so insane it puts even Jon Bois to shame
HE DID IT! HE DID THE THING!!!
(Seriously, I've been wanting this for about a year.)
RojoFern, I absolutely *love* that you allow the silence to breathe in between segments. Love that it feels natural and not algorithmically rushed. ♥
I gave you a like after watching to minute 2 once I realized the channel wasn't a copycat. I then waited patiently for the final subject only to be gotcha'd. Still leaving the like after watching mostly info I knew, your presentation style is that good.
Again, RojoFern makes one of the best videos on TH-cam. Absolutely enjoyed every second of it. Honestly he should send one of these to PBS or Netflix, this is at that level if not beyond it. Keep up the great work Rojo, you are the best and man this one didn't disappoint.
The king is home y'all, thank you for blessing my work day❤
This just got into my feed. This is Trey the explainer and Fredrick Knudsen level stuff. Good job, subbed!
WHEN LAVA POURS OUT NEAR THE SEA'S SURFACE, TREMENDOUS VOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS SOMETIMES OCCUR.
IN TIME, SUBMARINE SEAMOUNTS AND ISLANDS ARE FORMED.
Love your choice in soundtrack, Rojo. You really know how to put our minds at ease at such tense times as preparing for a dive.
A Christmas miracle, he posted.

A blender blending in Blender.
man.. this timing is just amazing..
after not watching/thinking about this channel for like 10 months, i just in the last couple of days rewatched all 3 previous long form essayes with friends and family.. and now this??
best Christmas present i could ask for!
Watched this at 2am because I’m off work for Christmas and New Year and I’ve completely messed up my sleep schedule.
Awesome video as always. Like the others, I will return to this one again and again when I need background noise for days with no meetings.
Excellent presentation! Exploration of a bunch of topics that is juuuust thorough enough to paint the picture.
oh man, love this channel and these style of videos.
Thank you for this Christmas upload. I feast on Christmas leftovers, blaze up and watch your video, perfect morning.
I love the stuff man, keep up the good work! One small thing i want to point out, a few parts of the video felt like the silence was drawn out for a bit too long, if i ever rewatch the video I’ll be sure to leave timestamps. Other than that, it was nice
When a certain track named Hyper Gamma Spaces starts playing. But seriously, this is absolutely outstanding content. So, so well done on all fronts.
You gained a sub and a fan, buddy.👏
This is the best youtube channel about clouds
a delightful day to watch an entire hour long video in one sitting
My 7th grade teacher let us watch this video. And have a pizza party the next day. Absolutely goated teacher.
I love your video essays so much. They are sooo interesting and well done. It’s an art to describe scales in just this simple yet effective way using shapes.
Incredible work once again!
Also the scripting is super nice and the music fits perfectly.
You KNOW its a good day when Rojofern uploads
