Yeah, I was a bit confused by that for a second there. - haha - Technically, I suppose it *used to be* located in the United States, but not so much for the last almost 80 years.
What’s crazy is as you’re driving up the grade from bishop towards mammoth you’re actually driving up the outside of the long valley caldera and into the caldera when you flatten out and then out again as you head up another grade leaving the caldera towards June lake on highway 395. It’s a beautiful drive but your perspective changes once you realize you’re literally driving on top of a super volcano
You get a similar experience when you drive up US 20 toward West Yellowstone from the south. After Ashton you climb up over the rim of the Henry's Fork caldera then drop down into it.
@@brokenwrench404 I wish I lived in a more geologically complex and interesting country lol I'd love to see Yellowstone, the asteroid crater too in..... New Mexico? Or is it Arizona? I can't remember lol It's probably Nevada now I've listed them lol
@@Leyrann This thing may hit just anywhere. 70% chance it'll hit the ocean, though - this much of Earth is covered with water. And this is not the type of Earth's life-ending collision event we're worrying about. The Barringer event was much smaller in scale.
Volcanoes doing things different this week just to keep us on our toes. It's weird how that magma stopped after boiling off some of that lake. Thank you for keeping us posted on this activity! 💜🌎🌏🌍
If you ever heard of fluidics, you'd attribute the oscillation to fluidic instability of magma in a bifurcation. The flow in one branch alters the pressure in the other, which switches the flow to the other branch. And the cycle completes after a second switch.
Mammoth, always pleasant to visit. I worry about the existence of known fumeroles, though I've hiked through the area where they appeared several decades ago, and I know it's a very closely monitored section of the mountain. I remember seeing the equipment up close, certainly an educational opportunity if you're getting into geology.
I also noticed the Earthquakes swarm at Mammoth Mountain, I always look at Earthquakes swarms in that area because there was a pretty sizable swarm back in 2018-2019.
There’s a geothermal power complex on the right side of the 395 next to the mammoth lakes off-ramp. Most of the quakes there are man made from the injection process to generate electricity. You can see the steam from the plant from the 395
I lived in Bakersfield in the 1980s when Mammoth was quaking quite a bit and MANY of the shakers were felt in town. For one of the quakes I was working at store with merchandise displayed on many glass shelves and lighting fixtures displayed overhead. That one was quite the cacophony of sound effects! Some customers fled the store. It was the Mammoth quakes that caused me to loose count of all the earthquakes I felt!
I wonder, what is the risk of earthquake triggered avalanches? Considering so many popular ski areas are on/near seismically active regions, you would think this could be a major risk if factors align properly.

You can see it steaming from several locations from the highway. Activity always rises during tourist seasons.
I live south of Mammoth in a town called Olancha in between the Haiwee reservoir and the base of Olancha Peak. I too have been experincing multiple shallow earthquakes here as well. These were mag. 2.0s to 3.4, 3.8 with my house shaking violently. I saw on USGS how shallow they were(0.8-1.0 km depth)and the epicenter was across the highway from me. There definitely has been lots of lava activity throughout the centuries here which you can plainly see. It would be neat to find out what's causing all these tremors...🤔 in fact, Tremors was filmed right behind my house! Could it be those Graboid worms😂? Jk. It would be neat though to find out what causing the shallow tremors...
@Oldguy-k3t 🤣😂😳 Lord only knows. It's a mess but very interesting how they've laid it out. I was baffled until it was explained why. The only thing is, I don't think they thought about the wind. It gets really bad from the West. 😀 👍
@Oldguy-k3t According to CalTrans it's open, but there are ongoing repairs due to last year's rain wiping out the roads. It was BAD. Microbursts are scary.
I remember my first earthquake in California (lived there for 5 years).....I was tent camping in Mammoth in 2016 and sitting there in the campsite one afternoon. This "ripple" went through the forest, like a small wave. It was crazy, never saw/experienced anything like that and it made the massive trees seem like little matchsticks when they went up and down with the "ripple".
It is unknown my attention driven towards this information. Refrain from commenting Thx for your hard work… will keep an eye on all of “this “ attempts
Were those people planning on hiding inside that tent from the ash spewing volcano??? 😮 didn't they ever hear of Pompei? I would be very scared if I saw that off in the distance!!
Love Your Channel, have you done a segment on Sutter Butte. I visited this place a few years ago, seems it's all private property now so all I could do is drive around it's base circumference.
An interesting point made in this presentation is the observation of earthquakes not of volcanic origin. The Mammoth Mountain ski resort mountain at 11,004 ft is known to be an extinct volcano.
I want to share an update about the Kanlaon Volcano in the Philippines, shortly after this video was uploaded, PhiVolcs Uploaded a Volcano Bulletin showing Kanlaons Sulfur Dioxide emissions at 9300+ tonnes. ❗❗❗ I just want to share this informations so dont hate on me for showing something unrelated to the stories on the video
The earthquakes in Malibu this year didn't seem to follow 1/x either. I thought they were rather strange. Note: I know they were not volcanic in origin. I just found them strange.
It seems impossible for 6m of water to boil in a non-explosive way in just 90 mins... Is it possible a lot of it went into the ground or was ejected in the previous day's eruption?
I forgot to mention, I always wondered if, The Day Rocks Fell from the Sky in Chico CA had something to do with this butte. There's an episode of One Step Beyond about it. One can also come across newspapers printing stories about it back in 1921.
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
@@26betsam no. It would only ever be an extremely rough guess without having any kind of up to date measurements for each and every volcano. It's impossible
I have a question, i have been following you for a few months. I am not a geologist or have anything to do with earth science, just an interested viewer. So i ask this question from a place of not knowing anything, there seems to be an increase in volcanic activity over the last few years. It could be that i am others are more aware because of people like you. If the air is lighter because of higher temperatures there is less pressure on the ocean and land. It would not chane much, but coupled with less dence, sea water, there could be less pressure on the land holding the pressure of the land in place. As you say in the video, ground water is playing a part in this activity, i was wondering if the less dence air and water could also cause it.
@@scottcrossman4412 honestly with the thickness and density of the earth's crust I'd say that if there is any discernable effect it would be too small to make a difference.
Correction! I made a dumb mistake involving Taal at 0m08s. It is of course NOT located in the United States but instead the Philippines.
Accidents happen to everyone. I forgive you.
You are forgiven 🍀🍀🍀

Thanks as always, Geology Hub!
Thanks!
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
As always, well done.
The Iceland spatter cone is fascinating, it’s oscillating between two vents. Any idea what causes this to happen?
I'm willing to bet that it will be partial blockages in one route or the other that gets pushed out once the flow cannot be sustained
If you ever heard of fluidics, you'd attribute the oscillation to fluidic instability of magma in a bifurcation. The flow in one branch alters the pressure in the other, which switches the flow to the other branch. And the cycle completes after a second switch.

Dempo could have formed a plug. Better keep an eye on it
Nope it was just a magma intrusion if it would’ve formed a plug there would be nonstop earthquakes.

Muchas gracias, saludos desde California.
Why would snow be melting on Mammoth Mountain this time of year? Not likely.
At the 1:13 mark, a large (?) rock was ejected upward out of the ash cloud. Are there any estimates of the actual size?
Mammoth is always threatening to erupt.
Note the huge houses near the ski slopes?
Awesome place.
Mammoth is beautiful! Pulling over to the side of road to pick up volcanic rock is an awesome experience.

We'll see.

Is the acidic evaporation cloud dangerous? Does it dissolve the rocks on the summit? Does it harm nearby ecosystems? Does it cause acid rain downwind?
Taal- United States. Making sure we’re paying attention? 😂
😎
how does the total eruption rate vary and can the eruption rate be linked to the solar wind pressure on earths magnetosphere?
Can someone tell me how much CO2 is produced by all the earths volcanos in a day?

That's a fine word salad!
Just a reminder, the sun doesn't cause earthquakes or volcanos to erupt.
