Exploring Volcanoes: the Dangers, Characteristics, and Mineral Deposit Potential for different types
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Volcanoes are beautiful, but they can also be incredibly dangerous. They can cause massive destruction, including lava flows, ash clouds, and pyroclastic flows. Did you know there are different types of volcanoes and some are far more dangerous than others? Some explode, some just ooze out liquid lava that runs all over, some shoot out red hot cinders with toxic gasses and ash. Some can form gold deposits and others can make gemstones. Let’s explore the fascinating world of volcanoes, their dangers, resources and characteristics.

There isnt enough time to learn all that stuff. Geology and mineral deposits and usgs surveys all are useful tools in the hunt for gold and other minerals. To read the land and see it in the mountains is really humbling. What a beautiful world we live in.

Vulcanizing is a process to make rubber hard for auto tires.
Hello Sir! The processes that make mountainous region's have almost always fascinated me. In one area i found chocolate color stained quarts. So much of that quarts was cocered with the chocolate staining was ontop of quarts that u wouldnt know it was quarts except by its shape. I often wonder what caused that. Another great video!

Good information. Though i would have added the large igneous province type eruption to the fissure eruption section. LIPs are the most environmentally damaging type and deserved a mention.

Popocatepel, north of Mexico city. Rincon De La Veiga, Costa Rico. Nevada del Ruiz, Columbia. Another on the Alutions island. One in Russia, all strato volcanoes erupting now that are having an influence on our weather. The ash particles are ejected into the atmosphere and the dust is like a piece of sand in a oyster. producing large hail like they had in FL and TX. From the southern volcanoes the ash and gas drifted NE from the northern ones SW. I had a friend check his air current maps and sure enough came right over AZ . Producing some spectacular sunsets without a cloud in the sky. I also smelled it when i awoke that morning, that's why he ran the maps for me. Thanks for shareing Chris.

Chris, Is there any way to tell the direction of flow in a Sill or Dyke ? It would help me to know wheather I have Basalt Dykes or Sills that have fauilted and now face up. I ask because I found a volcano in Boston Ma (over the Middlesex Volcanic Complex) when a developer made a road cut through a small Granite hill for acess. There is six Dykes or faulted Sills 8 to 10 feet wide, 30 to 80 feet apart and don't appear to be the same age, So by the sheer volume of flow, there should be Basalt all over the place and there's none to be found. That's why I think they were pushed up from below. If I could find out direction of flow, it would help me figure out things because if they were sills, there's faults nearby.

Both dikes and sills are injected as liquid lava into faults.
Hi I have a question. I saw your Gold Bug Pro Video and was wondering how far down the gold bug pro 5 inch coil can detect large gold nuggets. I am looking for a baseball size nugget in California :)
@ChrisRalph
Жыл бұрын
A baseball sized nugget is going to be more than 50 ounces and the number of 50+ ounce nuggets found in CA in the last century is I think exactly 2. So your chances are about 1 in 10 million. You'd be better off buying a lotto ticket. I strongly recommend learning to find smaller gold successfully before you try to find the 1 in 10 million whale. How deep will a metal detector can see is a complex question that depends on many factors like how big the target is, the size of the coil you are using, the mineralization of the soil, etc. To learn more, check out this video I did on the exact question of how deep your detector will go - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXhnxbWklczRpNI.html

There are like a million small nuggets for every large one, and the weights of the smaller ones add up. The GBPro is not a deep seeking metal detector - its great for the smaller ones that are so much more common. Stick with that smaller coil until you've found a hundreds small nuggets - then you can at least think about larger coils and deeper targets.
I do have a question for you. So I've been out playing in the dirt. I found what looks to be an old river bed with all types of round smooth stones and below it is a hard packed layer under those round smooth stones. I have taken many samples from under those stones near that contact point of hard pack and smooth rounded stones. So far I'm sluicing and panning out millions of red garnets and black magnetic sands. I have gotten a few specks of gold. You and Jeff Williams are always saying to get the gold I have to go where it's been found before and so I did. My question is am I digging and sampling in the correct area between those stones and hard pack of do I need to go deep even farther below this area of contact point? The indicators are there. Gold not much.

Please look these things up before you comment like that. The big eruption that killed many was March 27, 1980. Smaller eruptions continued afterwards including in May. Check a dozen sources to see what is right.

Wrong again. The major eruption was May 18th 1980. I know because I have lived here all my life.
The only reason our current civilization was able to form was a highly unusual period of climate stability that has no chance of continuing. We could be preparing for what`s coming but absolutely no effort is being made to do so besides some seed vaults. About 5000 years ago there was the Burckle Crater impacts, then the 536 A.D. catastrophe, The Year Without A Summer and other events being discovered including massive solar outbursts 100,000 times more intense than the Carrington Event. These things are deadly to modern humans. They will happen again. But we`re obsessing over a slight rise in temperature when the data reveals many very rapid temperature changes in the past of up to 15 C in under 100 years plus the info above. We`re all sitting ducks and nobody is talking about reality. This is all temporary. Enjoy it while it lasts.
