I attempt to show 100000 years of large volcanic eruptions in about 3 minutes, set to “Classical Gas.”

It can’t be said unfortunately. That’s the problem with hotspots; You see, Toba ejected 2,800+ of Km3 ash which almost sent humanity to extinction.
So think about this way, the next super eruption, could eject maybe 1,000+ or it could eject FAR more than Toba and effectively drown the Earth in darkness. The odds of that happening are very low… but it’s possible.
Yea, I’ve seen it and it is fine. If I have criticisms they have to do with dramatic construction and things pertaining to narrative, not science.
I’ve got a DVD with a film made by the BBC about a hypothetical eruption of the Yellowstone – pretty scary stuff, but with lots of information.
If I remember correctly it was a British/US co-production. Did you happen to watch it? And if so, was it scientifically correct?
They are more sparse because we don’t know when all eruptions occurred. Also, as we go backwards in time, there seem to be a larger percentage of large eruptions, but that is because it is easier to find evidence for the larger ones. And, as the time of eruption grows more approximate the darther back we go.
As you go further back in time, they get more sparse. Is it safe to assume there were comparable #’s of eruptions back then and we just haven’t discovered them yet, or are we in a more geologically active period? Great video, Thank you.
No way of knowing right now. In fact, geologists don’t even know precisely what to look for as warning signs. For instance, portions of both the Yellowstone and Long Valley caldera have been topographically rising in the past few decades, but that might mean nothing at all.
me and my brother were discussing the Yellowstone park volcano eruption this morning .
I’d love to have a browse through your old LP record collection behind you Claire, .. i bet you have a few rarities there.
Haha, loved the music .. Classical Gas .. i used to have that single!
Thanks
When this caldera in Yellowstone blows, would it dwarf the earlier releases or can we even come close to predicting this?
The eruption 2.1 mya was an 8 (2,450 KM3), the eruption 1.3 mya was a 7 (280 KM3) and the eruption .64 mya was an 8 (1,000 KM3.)
I’m not sure about the age, but I suspect I’m older.
I’m certainly uglier.
I’m at least as dour.
I don’t brood much, though.
Claire
What size would Yellowstone park eruption be considered on the scale?
BUT look on the bright side, Claire is old and ugly and is dour, brooding sort.
Thanks. Biology I am marginal on, physics too, BUT! Claire knows rocks and dirt!
I like your definition of 6,7, and 8.
Oh F**K! That is where I first heard it.
You geek!
*sigh* I LOVE intelligent women.
*double sigh* You’re not interested in men.
Keep making the videos,
I actually remember watching Mason Williams perform it on the Smothers Brothers Show.
Man, am I getting old….
Claire
Isn’t an ‘8′ just a really big eruption when gawd get’s super angry at his sheeple? I’m confused. So a ‘7′ is when he is just major league steamed and a ‘6′ is when he just wants to show off a bit?
That Pacific Rim of Fire has been very busy over the last 100k yrs, hasn’t it?
So after watching littletruckingbozo’s and your videos will I have a PhD?
Geology has never been something I understand very well, but you both make it interesting at least
Wait!! You forgot to include my explosive sex life on the map!! LOL…hahahahahaha…haha….ha….not really just kidding…
But how many pigs could Beulah roast in a VEI 8?
A case of “classical outgassing” I imagine?
Great work!
Very interesting!
