Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell

The Earth is a gigantic ball of semi-molten rock, with a heart of iron as hot as the surface of the Sun. Titanic amounts of heat left over from its birth and the radioactive decay of trillions of tons of radioactive elements find no escape but up. Currents of rock spanning thousands of kilometers carry this energy to the surface. Earth’s crust is the only thing in their way. It feels solid to us, but it is only a fragile barrier, an apple skin around a flaming behemoth. True apocalypses can break through and unleash eruptions tens of times more powerful than all of our nuclear weapons combined, subjecting the climate to centuries worth of change in a single year, while drowning continents in toxic ash and gases: supervolcanoes. How big can they get? And will they put an end to humanity?

Thank goodness welp I'm going to sleep now 💤
I saw the monkey in the starting screen holding a lava lamp
Where's Pompeii
Kudos to the animator here. Beautifully done
Toba!!!!!!🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
It would be nice if the geological concept was explained better. It's not just a game of chance of "what plate wins", the colder and denser plate (oceanic crust) will subduct beneath the less dense but thicker continental plate (25-30km thick). These are very rudimentary concepts in plate tectonics.
Great video but why would you put your nuts in a shell ? I don't get it 🤔
I live where the recent super-eruption in NZ, i was curious how that the whole lake is a caldera of supervolcano
3:07
WE BRING THE BOOM
the scale of these eruptions is just insane
Hongatongahongahapaya volcano… Love the name
8:05 they are the climate 💀
"What if all volcanoes erupted at once? I explored this in my latest video. Thanks in advance for checking it out! 🙌
Asthenosphere goop is very destructive indeed
Humans can't never surpass nature
Nor in creation neither in destruction
1:03 Volcanoes 3:07 The Volcanic Boom-Meter 5:23 What Is A Supervolcano?
Can you make a video of: IF Nuclear War were to break out, not only would it cause some kind of Nuclear Winter, but WOULD the bombings cause Volcanos to erupt as well?
The fact that you used 4 example of eruptions at different VEI level and they're all from Indonesia is kinda funny
Mean while people that is living under a rock be like: what's lake toba and where is lake toba located
Plus mount toba(lake Toba) is located in sumatra Indonesia Ethnic group batak i think i forgot what Ethnic group was mount toba(lake toba)
No volcano no life
"They ARE the climate…"
>Millenia later, far, far away…
"What do you think our ancestors could have possibly put inside these… cylinders…?"
"Dunno – but I think it's kinda cute how it reminds me of my canteen!"
>He takes a sniff from the artifact…
"Surprised it smells old?"
"IT SMELLS LIKE COFFEE!"
"WHAT, HOW?!"
hongatonga😂
0:16 Looks Like When Ur About To Be Pregnant 😮
The Siberian Wastes…
Smeagle noooooooo!
🇮🇳India🇮🇳
Volcanoes. Destruction and creation all in one. Results may vary, ranging from renewal of the local ecology to mass extinction on a global scale. So before you decide to play god and press the big red button, you should ask yourself, are you feeling lucky punk?
I feel like kurzgesagt makes learning more fun than schools think learning should be, even just in videos, which I love
Nature is amazing, but also scary AF
3:53 💀🙏
3:53 say that 5 times fast
As an Indonesian, what can I say except, “you’re welcome”?
What about the decca traps?
0:04 is that a paradox interactive reference
