I live in charleston its crazy that you can see some of the old cracks/repairs on some older building from that massive quake

Do you mean the 19th century?

I’ve requested him to do a video on the Meers fault in Oklahoma We need to raise awareness of these dangerous Intraplate faults

I agree!

@@lemmdus2119 These faults are too dangerous to be ignored especially because a lot of them are near big cities and can be felt for hundreds or even thousands of miles from the epicenter and a lot of buildings aren’t built to withstand earthquakes in intraplate regions

That's why Russia sold it to the USA!

Actually it's Tim not Tom, but you've got the rest right.

@@davidcranstone9044 Thanks-I only get to watch at bedtime-so...I stand corrected!

Vesuvius putting out an Icelandic eruption

Vesuvius putting on a Phlegraean eruption?

In a burning Ring of Fire. (I read this comment as ‘Ring of Fire’ by Johnny Cash started playing. 😂)

I heard that, too. I'm glad you mentioned the pronunciation.

I second this! Some titles to consider: - _Journey to the Center of the Earth_ (1959) - _Dante's Peak_ (1997) - _Volcano_ (1997) - _Volcano: Fire on the Mountain_ (1997) [🧀🧀🧀] - _The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King_ (2003) - _2012_ (2009) - _Pompeii_ (2014) - _Fire Of Love_ (2022)

Currently napping, building energy. Tune in again in a few days. ^_^

@MossyMozart Lol, “Welcome to our island. If you don’t like the geology, wait a day.”

Volcanos never worry.

Italy is trying to get the people who live closest to Vesuvius to move. I read they are offering money to help relocate people. Naples would be affected most certainly and it’s dangerous because of the number of people living in and around there. Their goal is to be able to evacuate those at risk in 2 days. Thats the goal if the Italian government right now

That would be hilarious

The Smithsonian Institution has a publically accessible database of this sort of info on their web page. AFAIK, the number of erupting volcanoes in any particular day is usually between 40 and 55. Most often it's between 45-50, since that's the center of the bell curve. IIRC, there are about 1350 active volcanoes in the world, a quarter of them in Indonesia. I hope this helps.

I feel the same. Hawaiian volcanoes, and really Alaska too, don’t really count. I view those as Hawaii and Alaska. The Cascades and scattered others in the Western lower 48 are what count.

The Cascadian Volcanoes are dependent on the rate of subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate under the North American plate, the rate and amount of partial melting of the subducted plate boundary, and the depth, filling rate, and build up of pressure within the underlying magma chambers that feed these volcanoes.

@@garrettfornea1088 I would argue Alaska should count as it is part of North America and thus is tectonically connected. But if you exclude Alaska you are left with the Cascades and the volcanism associated with the basin and range province the Snake river Plain & Yellowstone, the Rio Grande rift valley the western and eastern borders of the Colorado plateau and Sierra Nevada Great Valley block respectively. For complex reasons spelled out in more detail below I suspect these will display episodic activity which could take many years for the next episode of volcanic activity to occur. To explain how I reached that conclusion it is largely based on seismic tomography evidence that the vast majority of this volcanism outside the Cascades is concentrated along the area of the continent directly underneath the relatively linear transform offset solid mantle lower density sheer velocity discontinuity which corresponds to the East Pacific Rise when not beneath North America and neatly traces out the boundary of the Basin and Range province to Yellowstone to the Rio Grande rift valley before darting back west through Arizona and southern California where it emerges in the Salton trough and adjacent gulf of California as the East Pacific Rise. There is also a sustained largely differential clockwise rotation of the crust west of the Rio Grande rift valley which based on GPS is centered around Yellowstone with two only regions the Colorado Plateau and Sierra Nevada Great Valley block respectively rotating as rigid bodies explaining the two otherwise anomalous volcanic zones as they align to the boundaries of these wo rigidly deforming regions. Note here that Yellowstone also falls along this boundary with its igneous petrology from Siletzia and Yakutat indicating it was likely originally a ridge aligned hot spot along the East Pacific Rise like Iceland is today along the Mid Atlantic Ridge and showing a consistent chemical evolution as it transitioned from oceanic mantle to increasingly continental mantle. So it appears they can be effectively treated as a single system with a deeply rooted fixed frame relative to North America moving SW. This EPR associated activity appears to generally have dates for eruptions at different volcanoes which are cotemporal or nearly so with episodic clustering the last of which was around approximately 1000 CE/AD or so. Then we have the Cascades which are are notable for being a hot subduction zone with fairly buoyant crust with minimal water content to reduce melting temperatures compared to typical subduction zones. Additionally The high rate of sedimentation infill of the Cascadia subduction zone ahs resulted in thick deposits of these sediments which have already lithified siltstone and sandstone of Pleistocene age further insulating and weighing down on the subducting slab. This has the effect of extending the locked regime of the slab all the way out to the edge resulting in one of the largest locked regions of any subduction zone on Earth enabling vast amounts of strain to build up prior to a rupture. Because this slab is locked it is likely that little if any downwelling material is currently being forced out of the slab to induce melting which given the lower water content needs a higher temperature threshold to trigger melting in the first place. I thus suspect the Cascades will be fairly quiet until after the next megathrust rupture breaks the quasi equilibrium state established beneath these volcanoes. I should however note that there is a conspiculous few volcanoes in the cascades which have been more active than the rest cough Mt. St. Helens. Notably I learned from a colloquium talk on Nick Zentner;s site this past acedemic year that Mt. St. Helens falls along a peculiar lineament which has and additional source magma composition chemically matching the Yellowstone hot spot. This unusual magma signature only began to be observed 5 million years ago and is only found along a narrow east to west lineament which extends both closer and further from the trench than is typical of subduction zone volcanoes and from seismic tomography corresponds to a thinning of the subducting slab. Given this is roughly continuous with the Snake river plain I suspect it may be a continuation of it i.e. the East Pacific Rise which has been reestablishing some original pre continental override boundary. This notion that this may be the original boundary comes from the observation of a strange v shaped notch in the ridge discontinuity corresponding with the Gouda ridge and the subcontinental portion just east of the southern cascades which is NE-SW aligned cutting from where the ridge dives beneath California up to the Snake river plain. This area is traditionally classified as either the Cascadia back arc or the high lava plains and is notable for its young basaltic lava flows. This subcontinental notably is based on seismic tomography also happens to form the eastern edge of termination of the Juan de Fuca slab beneath the southern cascades with no evidence for subducted slabs to the east of this boundary until one goes east of the Colorado plateau and the Rio Grande rift valley. Given that the direction of this offset directly matches the relative direction of motion of North America over the EPR system this is probably most easily explained by NA dragging the Juan de Fuca slab with it as it has moved SW over the EPR with the rigid subducted slab in turn pulling on the solid upper mantle discontinuity of the EPR. This is a very complex setting but notably the only portions of the cascades showing any sign of above normal activity in the last century fter the burst of eruptive activity in the 1700 through early 1900's are either along the lineament cutting EW through the cascades i.e. Mt St Helens or the back arc region i.e. the recharging/actively intruding 3 sisters volcanic system both of which show additional melt components beyond typical subduction melts. Ergo I think the Cascades are dormant awaiting the next megathrust slip to reinvigorate the system with fresh melts as the plate descends. Everything else is linked to the EPR and relative motion between the EPR Yellowstone ridge complex and North America which is more or less episodic much like other MOR's just with an even longer periodicity between eruptive activity likely due to the thicker continental affinity of the overlying crust. Since the last eruptive pulse here was only a few thousand years ago it could be some time before enough strain builds to trigger the next major eruptive episode where intrusions are more likely to reach the surface.

No. It's a normal amount of volcanic activity, nothing unusual.

I was thinking it might have more to do with the Earth's core slowing and reversing. But I'm no scientist.

No. It isn't solar flares, the Aurora or elves either.

The volcano wasn't offended...

Solar flares do not influence volcanic activity.
