"Scientists Sound the Alarm" America's Deadliest Volcanoes on the Brink of Eruption After Centuries!

there are over 1,500 active volcanoes a volcano has begun erupting again these truly are nature's strongest forers volcanoes have always held a sense of mystery and danger and the United States is no stranger to their Potential Threat with 161 cataloged volcanoes including 18 considered highly dangerous the US is one of the most Volcan i al active countries in the world while some volcanoes capture public attention with their frequent eruptions others lie dormant silently waiting for their time to unleash their destructive power the United States is home to several dangerous volcanoes that could erupt by 2025 which ones are they and what threat do they pose let's find out Hawaii's kilowa volcano the youngest and most active on the big island has erupted once again the eruption started with fiery lava fountains shooting into the air from the summit inside the head LMA umu crater the eruption does not currently pose a threat to people or structures scientists had been monitoring the volcano's activity noting swelling and increased earthquake activity the eruption was detected by web cameras and soon lava began spewing out kilaa has had recent eruptions in 2021 and 2022 with the most destructive one occurring in 2018 since 1952 CAA has erupted dozens of times with a particularly long-lasting eruption from 1983 to 2008 during this period streams of lava destroyed around 700 homes the volcano experienced another eruption from December 2020 to May 2021 followed by a current ongoing eruption that started in September 2021 in January 2023 kilaa sent a burst of lava 164 ft into the sky filling the crater with molten rock the volcano is currently on orange alert closely monitored by the US Geological Survey and the Hawaiian volcano Observatory Mount St Helens moving to Mount St Helens in Washington on May 18th 1980 Mount St Helens experienced a catastrophic eruption causing Whit spread Devastation and claiming the lives of 57 individuals including renowned volcanologist David a Johnston the eruption triggered a massive Landslide and a lateral blast destroying a significant portion of the volcano's Northern face the eruption expelled hot magma and Ash with the ash plume reaching a staggering height of 880,000 Ft the explosion obliterated a 200 30 squ m area within a matter of minutes wiping all all life within its reach the eruption also resulted in the formation of lahars destructive mud flows that damaged nearby communities despite the destruction the affected area was slowly recovered over the years we encounter the most active volcano in the Cascade Range and part of the infamous Ring of Fire prior to its historic eruption in 1980 Mount St Helens was known for its conical shape and was even referred to as the Mount Fuji of America triggering a 5.1 magnitude earthquake and leading to a massive Landslide Long Valley Caldera in California let's now turn our attention to the Long Valley Calera in California this volcanic hotspot boasts geothermal pools lava domes and streaming funnels showcasing its active nature The Long Valley Caldera is one of the world's largest calderas spanning 20 m in length 11 mi in breadth and plunging up to 3,000 ft deep this natural wonder came to life around 760,000 years ago after a massive eruption ongoing volcanic activity in the region led to the formation of notable features such as the geothermal hot Creek approximately 288,000 years ago and the Mammoth Mountain between 100,000 and 11,057 years ago although the most recent eruption occurred just 300 years ago there is limited information available about the potential hazards associated with Long Valley however the 2017 documentary called secrets of the underground shed light on the volcano's recent activity and revealed concerning signs of volcanic activity indicating a possible impending eruption that could pose a threat to millions of people living nearby Mount Rainer moving North to Washington once again we encounter mount rineer an iconic Peak standing at an impressive height of 14,410 Ft Mount rineer is not only an active volcano but also America's most glaciated Peak it attracts numerous Mountaineers each year who seek the thrill of conquering its Summit while Mount rineer hasn't experienced a significant eruption in a approximately 500 years it's still regarded as the most dangerous volcano in the Cascade Range this is due to the immense mass of ice and snow that covers the volcano even a small eruption has the potential to melt a significant quantity of ice and snow triggering destructive mud flows such mud flows could have a severe impact on the 3.3 million residents in the Seattle Tacoma area as well as the Columbia River drainage system affecting an additional 500,000 residents in Southwestern Washington and Northwestern Oregon let's now shift our Focus to the redout volcano in Alaska a highly active Strat volcano its most recent eruption occurred between March 15th and April 4th 2009 resulting in major explosions rockfalls and plumes of Ash the eruption also caused the lava doome size to increase Ral volcano formed within the last 200,000 years has a history of 23 major explosions between December 1989 and April 1990 this eruption gained notoriety when a Boeing 747 flew through the ashcloud and experienced complete engine failure managing to land safely in Anchorage the eruption caused over $160 million in Damages making it the second most expensive eruption in American history the proximity of redout volcano to four towns within a 50-m radius including the city of Anchorage poses a significant threat if the volcano were to erupt again if you're liking the video so far make sure to subscribe to the channel Yellowstone National Park now let's turn our attack attention to the famous Yellowstone National Park home to various geothermal features beneath the park lies the Yellowstone Calera a giant super volcano while an eruption is not expected in the near future the Yellowstone super volcano has proven to be incredibly dangerous in the past it has had three major eruptions occurring 2.1 million years ago 1.3 million years ago and 664 th000 years ago although one study suggests that an eruption could blanket large parts of the Midwest with a layer of Ash the USG ological survey notes that it's more likely to experience hydrothermal or lava flow eruptions which are not highly explosive thankfully the Yellowstone super volcano has been dormant for the past 70,000 years and shows no immediate signs of a brewing eruption scientists believe that any significant explosion would be preceded by months of seismic warning Mauna laa Hawaii finally we come to Mauna laa in Hawaii which is considered the world's largest active volcano although kilaa tends to receive more attention due to its recent eruptions Mauna Loa holds the distinction of being the most dangerous volcano on the Pacific island in late November 2022 Mauna Loa showed signs of renewed activity with lava breaking to the Caldera surface for the first time in 38 years this eruption resulted in the flow of approximately 250 million cubic M of lava reaching a distance of up to 12 Mi while there were concerns initially about the potential lava flows blocking the busy Daniel kanaway Highway they stopped a mile and a half short of the road Hawaiian volcanoes in general produce slow moving lava flows that can destroy homes the main concerns for scientists are possible earthquakes and tsunamis triggered by unusually large eruptions Hawaiian volcanoes tend to produce large creeping masses of hot lava in numerous fissures in the late emitting sulfur gases in some cases the unpredictable nature and long lifespan of volcanoes make their story spread from Legends to breaking news among the 161 volcanoes cataloged by the US geological Sur survey the ones mentioned in this video are the ones to watch out for due to their potential danger these Majestic yet formidable Peaks can quickly reshape their image in the surrounding landscape it's essential to appreciate them while also staying informed about the latest warnings and taking necessary precautions when the time comes it's crucial to evacuate and move away from these volcanoes as far as possible United States is home to several dangerous volcanoes that could potentially erupt by 2025 kilaa Mount St Helens Long Valley Cera Mount rineer redout volcano Yellowstone super volcano and Mauna Loa all pose varying degrees of threat what do you think of these volcanoes let us know in the comments
