This Week in Volcano News; A New Eruption in the United States, Lewotobi Eruption Danger

This week, a new volcanic eruption began in a section of the United States. Meanwhile, the eruption of Indonesia's Lewotobi volcano reached a new intensity. And, in the Philippines, the Taal volcano produced a several month high of sulfur dioxide gas emissions. This video will discuss these stories and list the 49 volcanoes which are actively erupting around the planet.

    I enjoy the fact check and explanation of the volcanoes. It's interesting that each of these volcanoes are their own personality and they express their own traits not necessarily that of the next or nearest volcano. Excellent explanation on the gases too.

    You'll hardly have time to feel nauseous if you inhale any significant amount of H2S. At 100ppm, it will kill your sense of smell (perhaps giving you a false sense of security). At 700ppm, you are going down, right now, for good. You get one whiff of rotten egg smell where no eggs exist, geteth thy butt the hell upwind and uphill (if possible) pronto.

    Last week, I read about signs of slight unrest at Pico de Tancitaro in Mexico, which is located south of Paricutín. While Paricutín's area is part of an active and massive volcanic field, Tancitaro is a huge stratovolcano in the same area. Geologists have detected seismicity in the magma chamber, which they previously considered extinct. Now the are considering Tancitaro as a seismically active volcano.

    I also am curious as many others are of increase and decrease over a week span, but also over year spans, perhaps even decade and century spans as there is a tipping point where the amount of sun block causes a long term volcanic winter with impact on the planetary heating projections. How many little ones does it take to equal the impact of a super caldera ? Thank you for these reports. I will subscribe and share.

    Lots of variables to account for. Size, gas composition, ash, water vapor. And I just woke up so I may be forgetting something. Your typical volcanic emissions would take time on the order of centuries to millennia to warm the planet. A large singular volcano would have a greater chance of cooling the planet due to those same emissions blocking out heat from the sun. A large trap style basaltic volcano could heat the planet due to the shear amount of magma reaching the surface. As for warming the planet it would take enough time for what's commonly referred to green house gases to build up in the atmosphere to trap the heat and cause temperature rise. Let someone else confirm this cause again I just woke up and my brain is still Jell-O.

    A certain level of volcanic eruptions is simply 'situation normal' as one of the many factors influencing weather and climate, and effectively a constant, and that number will certainly be more than 2-3 - remember that a volcano (such as Stromboli for instance) which erupts continuously isn't 'news', and there are probably at least half a dozen of those, plus several one-off eruptions at any given time - so maybe about 10 VEI 1-5? If someone else (maybe GeologyHub?) can give accurate figures, please do. And the main short term effect is normally cooling, due to atmospheric ash reflecting the Sun's heat back into space as does increased cloud cover as sulphur dioxide aerosols have a seeding effect. As for individual eruptions, a very few very large fissure eruptions such as Iceland 1783 discharge enough gas into the lower atmosphere to have an effect, but most of the eruptions causing a noticeable effect on the weather worldwide are VEI6-7 caldera collapses such as Krakatoa, Tambora and Samelas (1257CE), which inject large quantities of ash and sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere and cause a 'year without a summer' - a very cold wet summer the year after the eruption followed by a gradual recovery over the next few years.

    Taal is an unpredictable little beast of a volcano. She does as she damn well pleases and this uplift means she's cooking up something. I slightly doubt the formation of a new vent along the Daang Kastila trail as mentioned in the video because almost all her eruptions have been from the south east corner of the main crater, but we never know. She might, she might not. Heck she might be cooking up a caldera-forming eruption but i sure hope she isn't, as i like being subscribed to life. (I have read a recent journal on Taal and it says there's enough magma and water some 5km down there to go as hard as she did some 7,000 years ago...)

    Is there any study which reflects the impacts to “climate change” these volcanoes are having. With the release of gasses, underwater explosions which must heat the water, and explosive materials in the atmosphere I have to believe that some impact to the planet is taking place beyond the immediate volcano.

  • @Dragrath1

    @Dragrath1

    5 ай бұрын

    Yes there is an impact however if you have followed the channel for several years or more you might notice that the number of volcanoes actively erupting at any one time stays fairly consistent over time ranging between the mid 40's to low 50's so barring particularly large magnitude eruptions the effects of volcanoes are likely minor in long term trends. In the case of carbon dioxide we can also largely rule out volcanoes as the source of the emission increase since volcanic carbon dioxide emissions tend to have an abnormally high fraction of carbon 13 since it is harder to incorporate into the crystalline structure of minerals. In contrast life preferentially uses carbon 12 if available but also incorporates carbon 14 while alive which decays into nitrogen via beta decay thus by looking at the changes in isotope distribution in the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere we can deterimine what source that carbon came from. Evidence pretty much universally shows that the percentage contribution of carbon 13 and carbon 14 are degreasing fairly dramatically while the proportion of carbon 12 has skyrocketed to account for virtually all of the increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere over time a record we can extend back to a few million years using the gases trapped within snow and ice crystals in Greenland and Antarctica . There are carbon 14 anomalies which via tree rings and historical accounts have been shown to correlate to large solar storm events with the exception of the spikes associated with above ground nuclear weapons detonations but even with these spikes over time, factoring in the decay rate limits its presence in even fossil snow records, the increases in carbon 14 are negligible in comparison to the massive increases in carbon 12 which neatly map to the onset of the Industrial revolution. This is why we know volcanoes can't be the culprit for climate change with if anything the largest contribution volcanoes have had being the cooling due to sulfur dioxide and volcanic ash emissions.

    @@cmans777 Oh I had meant that the time record of the past few million years is the baseline with which to compare the carbon 12 spike associated with the industrial revolution namely the increase in carbon we have seen hasn't been experienced in millions of years of ice records. Through deeper proxy data like sediments and corals I think I remember it is around 3 million years or so since we have seen comparable carbon dioxide levels. Actually looking it up it appears we have passed the 3 million year Pliocene threshold to reach levels not seen since the Miocene (14 Ma specifically). Yikes I knew it was bad but I hadn't realized just how bad it had gotten. Exponential rise in anthropogenic CO2 is no joke.... Carbon 14 is the consequence of cosmic rays converting nitrogen 14 in the upper atmosphere into carbon 14. More specifically its the neutrons which are produced within the particle showers created when cosmic rays hit atoms in the atmosphere hit a nitrogen atom converting the nitrogen atom into carbon 14 while releasing a free proton(hydrogen nucleus). More cosmic ray collisions means more free neutrons released which can go on to collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere.
