  • Is yello to green good or bad can some one tell me please?

  • @FusionFierce000 - Hi, you raised a good question. The color code was developed by the USGS to inform aviation and the general public the level of danger an active volcano is posing against overall safety. Green means the volcano is dormant. Yellow means the volcano is exhibiting signs of unrest. Orange, eruption is eminent or the volcano is in eruption, but pose no danger to aviation. Red, the volcano is erupting. More information can be found at the USGS Hazards website.

  • great vids+nice work!

    I hope the area is left well alone for many years,so nature can do what it does best when humans leave,thrive.

    its awesome to think we have all that power and pressure beneath us,just waiting to squeeze out.

  • I appreciate your comment. Thank your for watching.

  • The music - is that Ruben Blades?

  • Hi and thanks for watching.

    The music is from Kill Bill, Volume 2. It is one of my favorite Teritino movies and I just loved how this music worked with the ending and end credits. So much of this video is homage to that movie.

    It is called Malaquena Salerosa by Chingon.

    Thanks for watching.

see all

  • and the people who let the portland paper post that are bastards!

  • great vids!

  • This is good question and thank you for asking.

    Earthquakes around a volcano can mean that magma is on the move. When magma rises, it pushes away older rock and this triggers an earthquake. But, earthquakes is not the only indicator for a volcanic eruption. Sometimes, volcanoes have earthquake swarms, which is sign of magma moving, but it does not erupt and then the mountain goes silent again.

    Best clues for an eruption is earthquakes, bulging and volcanic gases.

    Thank you.

  • when erthquakes happen around volcanos they erupt 3 days later!! is that true??
