We don't need super volcanos to end humanity. We know how to do it ourselves

I take issue with Toba being responsible for the 2004 quake/tsunami. The quake was caused by a massive slip in the subduction zone under the Indian Ocean. Also you omitted to mention the Campei Flagri <sp> in the Naples area. The whole bay of Naples is a caldera and the Campei Flagri is far from dormant!

Mulțam ptr minunatul documentar, care ne îndeamnă la reflecție. Și ptr aducere aminte de trecutul tumultuos al planetei care ne tolerează ❤️❤️❤️❤️

4:05 from roughly 10k population to now nearly 9 billion.... In only so many centuries? That's crazy

[dorothysteller]

When you say that the Toba super eruption is the largest, you are wrong. Three extinct super volcanic calderas which are all in North America dwarf tobas eruption 75, 000 years ago. Those are Colorado's la garetta caldera, erupted 27 million years ago, Wyoming's wah wah spring caldera, 25 million years ago, and another one in Canada (forgot its name.) 460 million years ago.

When the Government goes from saying "Do what you can for your own safety and self preservation" to "We the government must do what we can for the preservation of life". That's when I know that we're all screwed.

I’m from New Zealand. And I can tell you right now. We have had so much earthquakes here in taupo the past 2 months. People are saying the volcano is slowly waking up as well.

[michaelsnow]

Incredible, and scary. I suppose it would keep the world population in check though

[TheSchmed]

Here we are worrying about an asteroid/meteor, but the danger of an extinction event may literally be under our feet, not above our heads.

Super eruption would cause volcanic winter that could last for hundreds of years. In this context, greenhouse gas would be beneficial.

[AndisweatherCenter]

Yes, the La Garita caldera is extinct. It was formed by the subduction of the Fallaron plate underneath the North American plateThat subduction zone no longer exist which means the force that drove that volcano no longer exists and that location therefore the volcano is completely extinct and magma chamber has fully solidified and is no longer molten. Also fun fact: the Yellowstone super volcano is the only supervolcano complex/sequence that has been formed by a hotspot volcanism in the present. At present besides Yellowstone, all supervolcanoes, including the Altiplano puna magma body supervolcanic complex are formed the same way that the La Garita Caldera formed which is a subduction event known as slab rollback.

You gotta think dinosaurs were walking around like “wtf is this bullshit?”

[Volcano-Man]

I am a vulcamologist! We do not recognise the term 'Super volcano, ' but we refer to ultra-Plinian eruptions - VEI8's as SUPER ERUPTIONS! Yellowstone last had an explosive ultra Plinian VEI 8 eruption about 630000 years ago, before that about years- as was the interval between the previous VEI 8 explosive eruptions.

Coldest and longest ice age? There were 2 separate times that the planet was referred to as snowball Earth. These events lasted for 10s of millions of years glaciers reached all the way to the equator. So longer and colder?

[laura-bianca]

Badly informed: Campi Flegrei (composition, distance to urban centres, distance to sea: tsunami...) is the most dangerous supervolcano and closest to eruption. It has now been put on orange alert

[Eon]

I know it would suck to happen but I would love to witness one.

As the magnetic poles are on the largest and fastest
Excursion in Human history. Many people alive right now may be here when the poles
flip. The enormous magnetic strain will have unknown consequences on the lithosphere. One theoretical hypothesis is that it will cause massive eruptions and earthquakes as the inner earth struggles with the polar shift. With the magnetosphere weakening by the day we will be defenseless against cosmic rays and whatever the sun throws at us. It's a theory that is interesting to me.

[FarlightGodzz]

Imagine if all if these volcanoes erupt at the same time i think earth could end

[teddykluesner]

The word overdue is not ever the correct term with Volcanoes. Just because there is a pattern a volcano is never overdue

[JjackVideo]

I'm surprised by the lack of Phlegraean Fields given the activity, raised alert-status and the number of Europeans in danger
