The Supervolcano in Canada; Blake River Megacaldera

2 жыл бұрын

One of the largest supervolcanoes on the planet is located within Canada. This supervolcano, although extinct, measures more than 100 kilometers wide. It was active for more than 16 million years, and today contains one of the most abundant concentrations of gold, silver, copper, and zinc in the country. It is extensively mined today and will continue to be mined for several hundred years. This video will discuss this volcanic complex, which is likely the oldest supervolcanoes to form on the planet.

You might note that this supervolcano is very different than previous ancient calderas covered on this channel. The reason for this it its ancient age. It formed when there were very few continents on the planet, and the mantle was a bit hotter. Thus, volcanism was a bit warmer and produced different compositions of lava.

I'm very happy that you cover this caldera complex. Ontario and Quebec Abitibi Greenstone belt is very rich in volcanics history and I was lucky to visit and study a couples of these anciens volcanoes. If you want an other impressive complex. You should check the Raglan deposit in the Cape smith greenstone belt in northern quebec. Some of these Komattites flows where enormous, able litteraly to melt the sediment under them has they where emplaced under the sea. Incorporating the sulfur of it and creating a motherload of Ni-Cu-EGP deposits. These flow where litteraly some flood-basalt eruption in scale, but with ultramafic lava.

@brianbailey462 2 жыл бұрын

@doomnova1946 2 жыл бұрын

Doubtful as it would need to hit about 12 km/s to hit escape velocity and sustain it for around 5 minutes if memory serves. The velocity difference between escape velocity and that needed to leave the atmosphere completely is not that different due to dropping air pressure. That said I doubt any of these have the explosive force to push anything that high (even dust). Meteorite impacts of anything bigger than about 2km wide would toss some stuff into the upper atmosphere or very low orbit but that is far bigger in terms of impact due to the sharp output at one instant compared to day weeks or months of these types of eruptions.

Because we're time blind, there might be phenomena that are evolutionary or developmental, like do mega-calderas collapse causing stratovolcanoes to form on their periphera? Sakurajima, Campi Flegrei, Toba, Anak-krakatau (if that is the spelling?) all appear to have formed this way. I also read or watched something relating Cascades volcanic deposits to Yellowstone. I hadn't known about the rotation of the section of plate under the PNW, It looks as if the southern most Cascades in northern California, and Oregon are along the hotspots path. (Or our relative path over it) I also wonder at the association with the Sudbury impact crater, are they related? It seems incredibly suspicious, definitely worth attention.

@@StuffandThings_ thanks for your awnser :D also I'd like to say some shield volcanoes are a lot steeper than others , so would a massive volcano like this be "impressively large towering mountain" ((kinda like larger version of mauna loa)) ?? or "very wide and relatively flat area of lava plains" ??

Use correct timetables please. it's not million or billions years ago.

Which timetables should be used? (And please don't say "less than 6,000 years ago".)

Fudge Yellowstone's timing by 100 years & you get an alignment w/ Exodus' Venus arrival, tidal stimulus. How busy was local space 2.5 billion years ago?
