@@zacharyhandy9606 It would only be obsidian if the water touched the lava source block. Lava comes from the mantle, so

Giggity

"I'm not like the other volcanoes"
And that's because the Yellowstone volcano is located deep within a landmass where the magma contains high levels of melted continental rock which is much thicker than that of most other volcanic magmas, such as those of volcanoes in the sea or on continental margins. The thicker magma moves more sluggishly and better traps explosive gases from escaping. The trapped gases build up to very powerful levels. The volcanoes of Hawaii are on the complete opposite end of the scale, being much more fluid and easy flowing, allowing the various gases to escape. In the middle are the volcanoes whose magmas contain a mix of continental rock and oceanic rock. Oceanic rock is comprised of a dense/heavy rock type called basalt, while lighter continental rock is generally of a mineral composition more akin to granite, whether igneous, sedimentary, or metaphoric.
@Stupid Neko - Doesn't matter. As a one-time geology major and lifelong geology enthusiast, I was merely informing folks who might be interested and hadn't known the basic facts surrounding the various types of volcanoes and how it relates to their potential explosive energy.

Don't worry about super-volcanoes, if one of them errupt you'll probably die, then you'll stop having to worry about it.
It's a problem that solves itself.
actually, isn't most of the damage of a supervolcano from the ash clouds that blot out the sun for decades, leading to a volcanic winter of sorts.
IIRC there was a 4 year ice age in the middle ages, i wanna say around 1500 that devastated europe from a volcanic eruption in near the inca's.
Or to put it differently: don't worry about something you can't forecast, stop, change, delay, weaken, redirect, escape, survive and prepare for in any adequate way.
"Modern problems require modern solutions"
But I'm afraid of dying. I know it's inevitable, but that doesn't make me feel any better.
Well so people don't know enything about Yellowstone or they lie and can't tell us enything because they can't even tell us if it would go off tomorrow or even three hours from now.

I want to say thank you, im someone who deals with really bad anxiety and depression, I heard about yellowstone and people claiming it could cause a extinction event and it sent me into a bad breakdown, this video explaining things so clearly has helped me calm down a lot. so thank you, your vid helped me a lot tonight and im really grateful.
Don't worry, I just watched how water causes explosive reaction in lava lake, so we could relieve the pressure of any super volcano by drilling in the chamber and dosing some water if magma decides to be stubborn. Also I'm just a regular person so imagine what highly educated person could come up with!
Don't you get that we are in an extinction event now!?
I view Yellowstone erupting the same way I view nuclear war - if it happens, I'll be dead. So there's really no point in worrying about it. Albeit Yellowstone would kill me much more slowly than a nuke would (unfortunately I live near a military base - if the blast radius doesn't get me, radiation poisoning will).
Although as long as Old Faithful continues going off, an eruption is extremely unlikely. Yellowstone is constantly bleeding off pressure. I'd only start actually worrying about it if that stops.
Think of you been part of a species and include the timespan of its entire existence, the lifespan of an individual is like a blink of an eye for modern humans been around for some 8 light-years. So dont trip, its bigger than your anxiety can handle

I was at Yellow Stone 2 years ago when the news claimed 430 "earthquakes" over a week. I didn't feel a single one and old faithful was right on time.
I live in Alaska and we have dozens and sometimes hundreds of earthquakes a day, but we rarely feel them because they're relatively small. Newer people from less geologically active places usually feel anything over a 4 on the Richter scale. So you probably just didnt notice because they were small. Also, if you're interested in big volcanic eruptions you should check out the great eruption of 1912 which lasted 3 days and blocked out the sun for hundreds of miles.

Definitely one of the more accurate videos on Yellowstone. I'm fed up of the ridiculous hyperbole surrounding Yellowstone. Great that you mentioned the more typical eruptive patterns of Yellowstone, and the rather obvious warning signs that we'd have months to years before a very large eruption.
One correction. The VEI scale has no limit (it doesn't stop at 8). There were almost certainly VEI 9+ eruptions early in Earth's history.
Hyperbole - a sporting event even bigger than the Superbowl! 3 blue whales or 2.8 double decker buses bigger!
;-)
wouldn't that the largest value for it being to scale to the largest volcano eruptions which don't have to be on earth.
@@Sovereignty3 I suppose, technically speaking, sunspots use the same convection cycles as volcanoes but with hydrogen plasma which would put the Yellowstone supervolcano at 0.00000000125 sunspots. Hmmm, I think we might have found a problem with that idea.
;-)
Technically vei 9 eruptions have happened even well after earth's birth, 10 square km would be the technical requirement for a Vei 9 as the scale is logmorithic. Further more the siberian traps are estimate dto have spewed out over 1 million square kms of ejecta meaing it could technically count as a vei 10.
2020 is making me more and more paranoid
Van Noe If we still alive, ill be there aswell
Your comment is gone, i will always remember you 😢 Know that kept my promise
Interesting thought I just had: so, if the continental shelf is moving west does that mean the hotspot would eventually be beneath the Appalachian mountains? If so, would that be enough pressure to "pop the balloon"? Could that be why North America has two major mountain ranges, with a giant plains region between them, with major eruptions essentially causing a "continental caldera"?
Not gonna lie, I would go see "The Avengers VS. Super Volcano"
Hulk used Smash.
Smash was ineffective.
Volcano used Erupt.
Erupt was Super Effective!

You leave Yellowstone's netherregions alone! Everything has a right to privacy, you Peeping Toms!

If the netherregion can't hold it in any longer you better start worrying. It will erupt. Even earth needs a release

poking about in dark places you have no place poking at/in or near is going to result in the very thing and event you're trying to prevent from happening in the first place...even a non volcanologist (but no less nerdy) like myself KNOWS that one...

@Boop Loop oh boy, here comes the conspiracy theorists! Listen self appointed know it all, I agree on certain parts about channels putting forth false data, but most of the data in this particular video is actually very accurate. Until the magma chambers are 40% + molten....there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Even considered all that other crap you mentioned, if there's not enough magma to create far more gas and hence pressure.....a super eruption is not possible. Most likely we will see many small eruptions over 100s of years before a buildup to a super eruption. Also, THERE IS NO TIMETABLE for a super eruption. I'm so sick and tired of people saying IT'S OVERDUE!! Like it's a clock. Many factors have to align for it to happen. For whatever reason, the chambers are not heating up as fast as they did for other eruptions. So for brain cells sake....drop the stupid conspiracy theory.

@Andreiva the meteorite caused volcanos to blow up
@Andreiva there is some evidence that the meteor, impacting in mexico, either caused or exacerbated massive volcanic eruptions in india. India is the antipetal point of mexico (exact opposite side of the globe) so the seismic waves caused by the impact would have constructively interfered at that point. Some geologists think that was enough to disrupt and heat the upper mantel, lower crust to cause massive volcanism. This volcanism lead to what is called the Deccan Traps in india.

Yellowstone volcano: exists
My volcano for a science project: This explosion will be legendary
There are some people who got calmed down by the beginning of this video, then she was like: “BUT WHAT IF,” and all of that comfort went away.
At circa minute 8 she states clearly that it won't happen anytime soon because the conditions aren't right. Maybe decades or centuries of warning time before it could happen....
Yellowstone: Exists
Tectonic Plates: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
Short version: Yellowstone will erupt, but it’s not due to do so for tens of thousands of years. It’s very likely that humans will not live that long.
So he's the volcano she told me not to worry about.

@sméagÖl nØt gÖllum like what? your hubris is amazing - the concept that an animal (or plant) species of the planet has significantly altered the evolution of the planet has never been proven to the point of hypothess.
@@chrish6412 not sure what you mean by "evolution of the planet", as planets are big lumps of rock that do not evolve, but species can _absolutely_ affect the evolution of other species. coevolution is a thing, and it is at least a hypothetical possibility that coevolution could occur on a planetwide scale.
also not sure what you mean by "proven to the point of hypothess". i assume "hypothess" is a typo of "hypothesis", and by their very nature, hypotheses are not proven. they are educated guesses that are later proven or disproven.
One of Yellowstone's eruptions preserved a lot of animals and these fossils were very important for paleontologists
my anxiety has been really bad today since i thought of Yellowstone volcano. this video really helped calm it. you have no idea how much this helped. thank you!
Same
This was uploaded mid way through June, now that it’s July, we know that during June there was a record breaking amount of tremors at the supervolcano. 🙂🙂
Along with increased lava flow under Yellowstone. So while I do NOT expect Yellowstone to EXPLODE--HER I have ZERO confidence in ONE word. As usual if the Government is behind any part of it--from a penny of the finding forward--- I trust nothing.
@@TheRickie41 there is another volcano nearby tho, the magma have gone there
Yeah the YGO who is responsible for watching Yellowstone has a slew of contradicting statements on the area.
But we are supposed to ignore their other statements and take this one as fact.
Wtf
@@TheRickie41 what does that have to do with anything?
Also the USGS and more importantly The YGO which is the part of the USGS that monitors Yellowstone has in the past ten years have stated multiple times that the magma chamber is in creasing enough at a depth of 22 miles to raise surface elevation 3 inches. Takes quite a bit of pressure to raise 22 miles of mantle 3 inches. They have also stated in the past that raising and subsidence of edges of a caldera is concerning and could be indicative of an eminent eruption. An eruption of any supervolcano would result in immediate death of up to 150 miles, delayed death of 1000 and global dimming that would result in crop loss world wide.
@@TheRickie41 if magnetic field reversal was the cause of supervolcano eruptions were fact then all of the eruptions of these calderas and the field reversals would be synchronous. They are in fact not on the same timeline to each other or to the field reversal.
Take Yellowstone. Its last eruption was 650,000 years ago and its cycle is every 600,000 to 800,000 years.
While the magnetic field reverses on average every 200,000 to 300,000 years.
There has been zero evidence of all supervolcanoes erupting at once nor it coinciding with field reversals. Again.
If the theory were true the last eruption would be synced with the last field reversal which it isnt.
Pro tip, when they tell you not to panic..... THATS WHEN YOU RUN!!!!!
But...where to?

What’s a 2012 quote doing here?
@@liquidphilosopher1816 Good Idea, Move closer to a flood basalt sleeping volcano. Nice!
Lol
TwoWordsForYa I came because of 2012
"It's a Tuesday." The greatest dismissive line ever used. 🥰
I really like watching her speak, the way she makes certain vowels and consonants fascinates me
"IS THAT A SIGN OF OUR IMPENDING DOOM, THE DESTRUCTION OF SOCIETY AND THE END OF MAN!!! "
"Nah man, its just Tuesday . . . ." ..
Oh, so M. Bison is visiting.
That can't be a good sign...

There is a volcano that is about 10x bigger than Yellowstone. It’s under the Pacific Ocean somewhat next to Japan. The crater is like 300+ miles, and the volcano covers an area of over 100,000 square miles. I don’t remember what it was called though.
“All of that seemingly dramatic activity isn’t a sign of impending doom…it’s a Tuesday.”
My new mantra whenever my ptsd acts up
What causes the catastrophe is a series of eruptions that allow water from Lake Yellowstone pore onto the magma chamber. The superheated water flashes to steam { water expands !600fold } which causes another eruption which lets even more water in. The lake currently holds about 4. cubic miles of water. That type of progression can account for the periodic catastrophes . Solution? Geothermal power. Use the heat productively. Save some for the geysers.

Wow thats a really funny comment you should b proud
Instead of showing redundant text on screen of what we're already listening to her say it would be better to show what she's talking about. Like when she said the NA plate is moving but the magma hotspot isn't, creating a line of volcanoes, you could actually show this..
Honestly, this is something that gave me insane anxiety and I feel so much better from watching this.
A lot of comments here seem to be “but scientists are wrong all the time so we shouldn’t listen when they say we’re wrong about worrying about this.”
These people who spend their lives studying this thing and the laws governing it and gave you good and solid reasons not to worry.
And sure. They could be wrong. We’ve often been wrong about things, that’s ok, it’s part of the scientific process to correct information if it is found to be inaccurate. But for now, the geological and geophysical theories we spent hundreds of years refining through trial, error, field research and simulation all say “no, it’s not a concern right now.” Ignoring this is like saying engineering and it’s underlying theories are sometimes wrong so we should ignore it, despite the fact the entire built world around us depended on us working on what we knew to be true from the field at the time we made it. Unless we find a compelling reason as to why the theory of geology and geophysics we currently have is wrong, you DON’T need to worry.
Otherwise, you’re just putting your personal opinion above a massive body of research and study, which is flat-earth tier reasoning.
I love videos explaining why I shouldn’t be anxious about something I was previously somewhat anxious about
you live a life of privilege Maxx
I was just thinking that I'm not sure I appreciate videos that make me even a little anxious about things I wasn't previously aware of to be worried about. x'D
Half way through this video U.S. Government completed another Yellowstone super irruption underground survival bunker.
Kristen McNeil : True stuff
You said Yellowstone might not go off again. You also said it's magma was from a hotspot. This hotspot has been causing super eruptions similar to 50 million years, and before that, was similar to the one in Hawaii. With that being said, it sounds like you said it won't go off again.
"if anything changes, you'll know about it" not if the government hides it.
How will they hide it
How and why would they hide it?
By not reporting it or downgrading the numbers. The government doesn't want to cause wide spread panic.
People would "devolve" if they knew "the end is nigh".
Watch Dutchsinse. He sees and reports on the earthquake numbers changing all the time.
They have to catch it to hide it. Oh look, just noticed an asteroid a few thousand miles from Earth. Wonder where that came from?
I'm so glad I saw this video. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now and I love all the videos. But there's so much misinformation out there about Yellowstone. Your videos always put things in a way that an everyday person, who isn't a scientist, can understand. Thank you for that :)
Just build an obsidian dome.
You can't break obsidian unless you have a diamond pickaxe

It only has to precede a word that makes a vowel sound. For example, "it's an honour to be here" or "it's a once in a lifetime experience."
Jesus christ. You don't need to give the guy a wiki summary of vowels and prepositions in every god damn comment you see. Typos exist. The guy was making a joke. Grow up.
There’s actually a place called Obsidian Dome near Mammoth Lakes in California

I am a big fan of awesome geological features, events and explorations ! The planet ceases to be a fixed feature entity in the minds of those of us that feast on the expanding knowledge of our planets past and future ! I have been up close to some ! Including Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, glaciers in the Alps, gorges by kayak in France and dramatic shores all around Europe.. I hope to visit the three gorges area in China, where my son works, having got a feel for how India bulldozed into Asia creating the Himalayas and these precipitous valleys side by side running north south, each with special ecosystems ! I got the habit of checking out the three dimensional geologic history of landscapes from living six years in Switzerland and skiing and kayaking .....The Alpes have a sort of mini version history similar to the Himalayas, Italy having bulldozed north ! When I say mini, I mean gigantic but not so much as India and the Himalaya ! Professional of course do not talk in these romantic ways ! They should sometimes maybe, because young people need to know about how dynamic our planet is over time and be able to relate meaningfully to climate change and its probable devastating global impact ! They also benefit from relating to far flung places as dynamically connected over rapid as well as vast time scales. Such as Himalayas global warming glacier Melt, flood threat and population displacement ...or sea level rise , shoreline threats and food source disruptions ! How can they be active citizens on these timescales if they have no such capacity ! I am a retired teacher, not from these subjects, but from design technology. All about the human convenience, efficiency and solutions ? Yes but also about resources and the cost benefit considerations that can be scaled up to precisely such issues ! The subject teaches the principle that there are many solutions to the same set of problems. That has ideological and political implications way beyond the confines of artefact design !
bro, bro, bro, just reroute an ocean through the volcanic vent causing the magma to chill and solidify
Nobel prize please.
I did that to Hell in Terraria and the entire ocean evaporated :(
That would make things worse... much worse... when water and magma meet it usually triggers a very powerful eruption/steam explosion, 10's of times more powerful than a dry eruption. That's why the volcanoes on the Ring of Fire are so explosive, all the water seeping into the subduction zones from the Pacific Ocean.
@@celairgilfaenmirion not to mention that rerouting the ocean all the way up to Yellowstone would be an unimaginable undertaking, and all of the residual salt would poison the land for years.
@@celairgilfaenmirion they need to make an obsidian dome first since the only way to break obsidian is with a diamond pickaxe, or a high efficiency iron pickaxe
I finished the title for you.
"There's no need to worry about the Yellowstone super volcano, because we can't stop an eruption and when it goes, we're all going to be dead."
And we are all going to go from something. 😲
Don't worry, be happy.

I'm not sure I've ever been disappointed by a sci-show video before quite like this.
Chris notaperson wym ?
@@pHixiq specifically I mean that finding out that there will likely not be a world altering eruption in my lifetime is disappointing.
I love you guys so much, you have no idea how anxious I've been about this for over a year
Go be anxious about climate change.
@@generationfallout5189 Who said I wasn't?
I’m a crusty old geologist and I was very impressed with this video. Nice job!

My dad was in Winnipeg, Manitoba when Mt. St. Helens erupted, and he collected ash from the eruption off his car.
