These videos make me wish I'd taken more college courses in Geology. If I find an old textbook in geology, I'm picking it up. I guess I'm a science nerd.😁
I’ve felt similarly, and have found TH-cam and Google to be very useful sources. This site, Shawn Willsey, Nick Zetner, Myron White (I think) all have excellent videos on NA geology, as well as some global geological points of interest.
My undergraduate degree is in Biology. I didn’t take a geology class which I still regret… 50 years later. I spend as much time watching geology videos as I do watching those related to biology. Still have no interest in physics; just not my thang!
There are courses online for free from Open Course Ware. You can search for it. I see a free one from MIT. Try your library for geology books as well. I took a geology class in college and really learned a lot
I hope Taal doesn't go magmatic, and judging from her behavior in the past it looks like she won't go "big kaboom" - her bigger eruptions were preceded by as many as 42 earthquakes in a 24 hour period like in 2020, and her seismometers today sometimes pick up nothing at all. But she is very unpredictable, she might seemingly calm down and suddenly go kaboom, or have some sort of earthquake swarm and then no eruption at all. I wonder if this kind of behavior is common among flooded calderas or volcanoes with gigantic hydrothermal systems.
I lived in the Philippines and I swam in its lake so it is definitely in the Philippines... I think the Japanese might be offended if we claimed it belonged to them... Lol
@@SammyfrommyhammyI’m retiring to Phil’s end of September, it’s beautiful around there but running to panglao, omg I love it. Hope to get to mayon next year
Very informative video, especially as a major in history, slight typo, you labeled Taal as a volcano in Japan and not the Philippines during the active volcano list segment at the end of the video.
Hmm if Taal is putting out that much SO2 under the central lake there is a good possibility those "explosions" are just releases of the built up gasses at the bottom of the lake. You have talked about this happening with co2 in other lakes previously.
For context Taal is emitting as much SO2 in a day as Mayon did in a week while pushing up magma last year- so much so that folks in the coastline towns like Talisay and San Nicolas can't even see Volcano Island due to VOG. And I agree- she has a big reserve of hot water and gases underneath - these steam explosions are likely just her letting off some pressure.
@@clarenceghammjr1326 I have, there are MANY comparing the volume of the atmosphere to 100km/62mi, but others include the exosphere which is at least up to the ISS, as we know it needs regular acceleration boosts from the slight drag of the rarefied but present atmosphere. I suppose just subtracting earth's volume from another sphere with a 10km larger radius would give me the gross volume. The issue is from there, I have no idea how that volume will then settle over the topography. The ocean basins are several miles below the continents surface at sea level so we need to both calculate the volune of the continent's and do another geometric comparison. However, my calculus is duller than a door knob, it's been two decades, and so far I'm unable to reasonably estimate the volume ocvupied by each comtinrnt, or even all as a whole would work. I suppose their listed square area x the elevation difference between the adjacent basins and sea gets me close, but there are HUGE areas of continental margin that are significantly shallower so yet more complex equations. I vivdly remember doing calculations for irregular shapes like like the area's of lakes, though TBH, I was really hoping someone else already thought all this out.
With the expected geomagnetic storms from these recent sun ejections i wonder if it has an effect especially because we immediately get ionized the moment the sun gets angry.
The Azores wasn’t what I was thinking of when I read and heard “Portugal”. I was wondering whether mainland Portugal even has volcanos and I don’t think it does.
This is disingenuous. Though the island is _politically_ Portugal, it is quite clearly an island in the mid-Atlantic. An active volcano in a spreading centre is normally to be expected. Mainland Portugal, not so much.
According to your logic, Hawaii wouldn't be considered a part of the United States either. FYI, I grew up in a city in Southern California with a significant population of immigrants from the Azores, and they all proudly identify as Portuguese. Many of my friends' grandparents only speak Portuguese. Every year, the community comes together to host a Festa de Bola , featuring a soccer tournament, bullfights, and more. Can you believe that they host it at their community center that they named "The Portuguese Hall"?
@Bimmer_MD Hawaiii is _politically_ a part of the United States. It is _geologically_ a part of the Pacific Ocean spreading centre. Just as Iceland, Tristan da Cunha and all the islands in between are _geologically_ part of the Atlantic Ocean spreading centre. I have no argument about the pride of the islanders in being Portuguese, the pride of Hawaiians in being American, the pride of the Icelanders in being (not) Danish. I'm just talking about the geology of Continents and Oceans. Which existed long before Protugal was a thing.

Sometimes Amazon has used Geology textbooks.

I wish I had more focus on geology in high school geography class
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos
Can you explain what's going on at Campi Flegrei in Italy as a video by Silki gave a rather overdramatic picture of the situation.
He put out a video a week or so ago, showing a different picture
Would love to hear some updates about the Campii Fliegri in Naples. Some other reporters are trying to follow but they are not volcanologists.
Taal has been goin crazy, also can you make a vid about the desert in Greece? Or something about Greece in general
What desert?
@@AaronGeo there is a small desert on a Greek island, it's a geologic oddity
@@Furry-xr4hp You mean Lemnos?
Lemnos.
@@AaronGeo ye
The ever excitable Taal.
Thank you.
Man I got the best shots in April as we did a perimeter fly around, on the ground laurel was great from road back up towards tagaytay
Thanks again, GH. Appreciate it
Thanks as always, Geology Hub!
😢Thanks for the update on Ilha Terceira, Açores.
Parece que se obtém mais informação estrangeira do que das próprias entidades
@@danielasilvabranco7799 😕Por acaso, até tens razão. Talvez seja, porque eles não querem "assustar" a população.
Thank you. Your explanations are excellent, especially for someone who has only a very basic knowledge and understanding of volcanism.
Imagine what would happen if the magma venting spread into oil or natural gas deposits....
Adding this comment just to say Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha-apai since it hasn't been mentioned in a while. 😁
What a epic crater it left
Another good update. Thanks

It says Taal is in Japan in the list at the end

There is limnic eruption with gasses like CO2 in lakes, however i think Taal is just classic Phreatic explosions then a limnic eruption
@@LadyAlriandi Limnic yes thats the word I was looking for. Thank you.
Inserting this comment for El Go Rhythm.
300K plus subs. Nice GH.
stay vigilant, people!!
How large is the inner crater lake at Taal? And do you know how far (if at all above/below) the larger caldera lake the level is? Just curious.
Let’s google that

Can we get a deep dive into Pompeii and the sister Volcano that is showing major uplift.
My eyes saw the word "Portugal" which piqued my interest. I am visiting the country in September.
The Azores are islands in the middle of the Atlantic, a long way from mainland Portugal.
It is Azores, which is a part of Portugal
2:43 I dare ya to sleep there!
Probably too much SO2 anyway.
49 active out of how many volcanoes world wide?
There is alot of added pressure on the ring of fire. These large faults are about to start moving also
Why is Taal = Japan? 4:29
👁️〰️ Make the ending list bigger...so it's readable and keep it up longer
Pause. Works great! So does the word “please”. 😊
Things are a bit lively this week
Fernandina is still erupting? dang
You should do a video on mt tarawera
Just after the large earthquake
Urtur Aleh....
Taal Japan???
Taal The Philippines

Solar activity has no discernable effect on seismic or volcanic activity on earth.

That's a island Portugal own my friend, its not mainland Europe, bit of misinformation there.
Can't you speak normally ?
Can you be a decent person?
The Azores wasn’t what I was thinking of when I read and heard “Portugal”. I was wondering whether mainland Portugal even has volcanos and I don’t think it does.
I too thought for a second but then remebered Azores exist
All thirteen Portuguese active volcanoes are in the Azores…
This is disingenuous. Though the island is _politically_ Portugal, it is quite clearly an island in the mid-Atlantic. An active volcano in a spreading centre is normally to be expected. Mainland Portugal, not so much.
It is showing to everyone that Portugal is not just mainland tho, not a small amount of people get amazed to learn it is a part of Portugal.

Taal is a different volcano, it is volcano news video were he goes over several different volcanos
