Excellent soil for growing pot!!!

Eh...the guy says the volcanos indicate "forces at work that far exceed anything mankind could construct."

Not really. The largest nuclear weapon ever detonated temporarily released 1% of the power of the sun. The SUN. It hugely exceeded the entire power of everything on earth at that moment. And that was just the biggest thing the Russians cared to drop from a bomber. If we wanted to get silly piling uranium on top of a hydrogen bomb can create an explosion as big as you want.

@aluisious

well actually yellowstone supervolcano can produce 15% of the suns power and this volcanos mother or father could do 5% of the suns power only cause it didnt doesnt mean it cant so you should be happy :)

Appreciate ALL the HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE episodes. Great work, love to watch these over and over again. Thanks so much for the programs, and for the upload.

A well done piece. However, it was bitterly disappointing to hear measurements quoted in miles. CONVERT TO METRIC.  DO IT.

@GlennJamesScott you do realise that standard measurements are very accurate and directly derived from the earths proportions, don't you? not to mention they are more precise than metric. also, i'll bet you didn't know that commercial/industrial fabrication, (europe too, not just the U.S.) dealing with precise, machined surfaces (ie. automotive engines, firearms, etc), is done using standard measurements.

@3521mtma The question that immediately springs to mind is who gives a flying fuck.

[3521mtma]

@jimmywrangles obviously your mother.  go eat a dick.

[aluisious]

@3521mtma That is such incredible horse shit.

[3521mtma]

@GlennJamesScott although dweeby high school science teachers teach people like you that "the metric is the way of the world", this is definitely not the case.

It's funny that the scientist have the answer and the narrator dosen't have the answer when he is talking most of the time

[rayter12ray]

Because of you, my science project is going to be perfect

Riddle? lol Jesus Christ.... whoever wrote the narration for this program has his or her helmet strapped on too tight

[bxs0099]

So wait... pumice stones were the first clue "suggesting" Krakatau was a stratovolcano? I imagine the explosive ERUPTION of 20 May 1883 might have prompted a thought or two in that direction. I feel dumber after watching this.
