Earth's Most Destructive SuperVolcanoes 4K

For more 4K space, and more great History and Science than you'll ever watch, check out our sister network...

This video was converted to 4K from HD using an AI-based computer program. This documentary explores volcanic eruptions so vast, so Earth-shattering, they have changed the history of our planet. Climate collapse. Toxic turmoil. Mass extinction. Worse than a killer asteroid, or nuclear war, they are Earth's most destructive Supervolcanoes.

Dude could read my shopping list and make it sound like the best thing you will hear for the day.

Thanks for posting. I love the information and the narrator's voice. I wasn't aware that an igneous province existed in Michigan until a few years ago. It isn't mentioned that often in videos or books so I'm impressed that the video includes this.


The Midcontinent Rift System is actually pretty large, reaching from possibly Kansas, northeast to Michigan's Upper Peninsula where it turns southeast, then proceeds through the Lower Peninsula and continues in sections as far south as Alabama. Fun Fact: Lake Superior lies within part of the old Rift. This Rift System is the deepest healed rift ever found. Had it gone much deeper, an ocean would likely have formed. And for our Canadian friends: an arm of this old rift (a so-called "failed arm") runs north into Canada as the Nipigon Embayment and contains Lake Nipigon (like most large Rift systems, the Midcontinent System developed with a triple junction and one of the arms failed).

One of the best documentaries I’ve seen and so few ads, 👏

Humans :We have nukes....EARTH: Hold my beer....

Sometimes I miss the days when youtube videos only had one add, at the very beginning of a video, and the majority of them could be skipped. Now you're obligated to watch four or more adds in a video or pay extra for no adds. It's shady business practices like this that makes me wish Yellowstone would erupt right now.

One of the best channels in youtube, in my opinion.

An outstanding documentary. It finally made sense of the Russian & Indian lava eruptions in their timescale and where the continents were at at that period of time. Would it would have gone into more detail of the "population bottleneck" and just how close humanity came to being gone.

Impressionante! Sooo Powerful, sooo distructive... but șoooo Beautiful!The big Power of element FEUER!I prefere that this SuperVolcano never erupte.It's too dangereus! Thank You for impressionant video😀😘

I swear this guy narrated the educational science videos we were forced to watch in elementary school in the early 1980s.

I love this vedio I'm so happy to watch

[gameboy]

amazing channel. keep up these great educational uploads!

It’s a good day when spacerip uploads!

For those who don’t have an earthquake alert app or keep track of them, there have been a mind blowing 78 earthquakes over a 5 in the last 7 days! More then I have ever seen in all the years of getting these alerts, that many big eqs in such a short time is just crazy. And 10 of them were over a 6 and of course the one over 7 and all but 2 of them have been in the area of Toba ! That is indeed a bit concerning.

a new space rip video... where you guys been?!!

[thrshr]

It's subduction zones, not mid ocean rifts that drive the movement of tectonic plates. Nice to finally see more from this channel though!

[mariomm]

I like this channel.Its profesional and its not created by some lonely nerd

We should be thinking of space shelters for long term use, if we want to plan for these events.

Both the Deccan and Siberian traps aren't super volcanoes, they're flood basalts. They are more destructive, but they are a different type of eruption that may be caused by mantle plumes. This means that they can occur in places where ordinary volcanoes can't. There is an eruption that is caused by a mantle plume, and that is creating the Hawaiian chain of islands.

I wonder how Spacerip makes money? These films are very well produced and probably not cheap to make. I don't see ads on their videos and not sure if they have a patreon.
