Mount Paektu (also called Changbai Mountain) is among the largest volcanoes on earth and but, for the longest time, no one may clarify the place it got here from or why it exists. Right here we are going to talk about why this volcano is so uncommon and the way the geological thriller surrounding it may finally be solved.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not a geologist. The data on this video was offered after weeks of cautious and thorough analysis in regards to the subject.

Since this video is somewhat going viral currently (at least by my measures) I want to take the time to thank everyone who has watched and or subscribed – I really appreciate it. That it only took two videos to get this channel going is really nice to see and exciting. Also thanks for all the lovely comments. Please be assured that I read them all, although I can’t possibly answer all of you. There is only so many times I can say "thanks" or "thank you" before it starts to feel silly ; )
I'm already working on more content for you guys but please be patient as I'm working alone.
Your content is so good. Non political, science, nature, and history. I love this!
I watch Youtube to find well made videos like this. . . this videomaking reminds me of old Nat Geo with the beautiful music too.
Thanks
What an excellent documentary!
This is where the current location is and it may had water flooding to help mass suicide
so, its more like a huge geiser?
So interesting and mind blowing! Technical and informative! Great graphics! Thank you! Keep up the good work!
That was very interesting. Thank you.
Perfect video for a person like who isn't an expert in the field, but is interested in the many things that shape our planet. Thanks for talking in proper terms and not dumbing things down. Very well illustrated and concise. Everyone making videos of this nature should take a course from you. Your New Madrid Earthquake Zone Video was your first video that I watched, and I loved it, too (although I didn't comment on it). You've got a loyal follower in me! Huge thumbs up.
I don’t want to be the one to tell you this but I would put money on China digging there.
Excellent video. So well presented and well informed.
Came here after just finishing your video on the New Madrid quakes. Noticed this is part 1 of this video as well, when is part 2 of both videos coming or where can I watch em?
It’s because of all the people the communists throw into it to placate the welfare gods.
The ads every 2-3 minutes make this nearly unwatchable.
Better question, why doesn't China invade North Korea instead of Taiwan. They'd be doing everyone a favor.
its like the earth's pimple
9:02
I bet even kim jong-un would give a thumbs up for this amazing explanation
So incredibly insightful…
Thank you..
What a gem of a video. I feel like I am educated like almost never before. If only my university time would have been on that level. Kudos to you!
Love it. Hey could you do a video on lake TAUPO. New Zealand
Excellent video! Very instructive, clear, detailed. Wow!
👍🌋🗯🎎 Awesome 👏.
A phenomenal video !
Key Takeaways: There is a Stagnant BMW under the Korean Peninsula… got it.
Wonderful video
Grats man! this video blew up…I remember stumbling on it at about 20k views on a "rabbit hole" I descended into about volcanoes. It seems the Geologist in the comments like it too!
What an excellently made video! Thank you very much!
Its Korea's volcano! and the name is Mt. Paektu
What's that peninsula called at 6:09 that looks like a face? It looks really cool!
Is this also lake Tahoe?
Wow! Great video. I subscribed.
The graphics in this video are astonishingly good. Especially how you've managed to make a bunch of pretty intricate 3D heat maps and graphs really clear and comprehensible. Amazing educational content! As a lifelong volcano (and later geology) nerd, I love it!!
The rotten cellar annually wreck because opera interspecifically lie out a fuzzy lyre. erratic, brawny stool
That's pretty neat
Earth need some good skincare
And the Kaiju arrives to the mainland when?😁
So, I've been trying to wrap my head around how and why there's this big plume of magma in the upper mantle, that has apparently been cut off from the lower mantle by this plate for millions of years, probably. Like, wouldn't it eventually start to "cool down" if it's cut off from the "source"? But, what I'm getting here is that the literal pressure of the water trying to get back to the surface is what is keeping it going? If anybody with more geologic knowledge has an answer for this, I'd love to know.
I know the upper mantle is ~very hot~, but enough to keep an isolated pool of magma going? Wouldn't thermal dynamics try to even it out rather than keep it liquid?
I know, i know. Each such extensive and deep footage needs a lot of effort, hard work and passion. Thank you for that 😊 And please, give us more and more frequent 🙏
So the crust stays in between the layers of mantle? What happens when it reaches itself or hits another slab of crust? Or will the crust eventually melt away?
