    I come to realize that it’s dangerous to live on any Island , thank You for your research .

    Hawaii is the dead center of the ring of fire

    The PLANETS are not “falling” in “curved” “SPACE”. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. A given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal area in equal TIME. Regarding WHAT IS E=MC2, c squared CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. INDEED, consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. I have mathematically proven and explained what is the fourth dimension. WHAT IS GRAVITY is, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Consider what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE. Now, notice that what is the fully illuminated AND setting/WHITE MOON IS the same size as WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE.

    lava tube skylights would make a great primitive forge

    GREAT show. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you.

    Thank you History channel. Awesomeness ❤

  7. Jewls Orr on July 26, 2023 at 11:00 am

    Great!!

    Head for the mountains…. Broke Back Mountain😅

  9. Boy Blue on July 26, 2023 at 11:02 am

    anybody remember when HISTORY channel was about HISTORY and NATIONAL DISCOVERY WAS ABOUT THE EARTH. i want things to go back there

  10. Gary Seven on July 26, 2023 at 11:03 am

    There is no "billions of years."

  11. FROG_BOI on July 26, 2023 at 11:04 am

    ahh yes science

    8:25 a dump truck can carry more than the 5yrs his uneducated mind thinks.

  13. Constance on July 26, 2023 at 11:05 am

    Excellent 👌

  14. Meister von Drake on July 26, 2023 at 11:05 am

    Thats right… subduction is stupid, a myth. Oregon coast seafloor is expansion cracks. Google Earth it. Earth is growing from within. Subduction & Drift are B.S. attempts… Earth is alive, a star, magnetosphere, & Cosmic Egg. Growing from within.

  15. Jaime Salgado Gomez on July 26, 2023 at 11:06 am

    I have never been to hawaii 😊

  16. super shannah on July 26, 2023 at 11:07 am

    Curious… is the consistency of the lava related to exterior environment/temps? Because Hawaii tends to be warm and Rainer, for example, has like 25 glaciers which would cool more rapidly.

  17. Lessco Brandon on July 26, 2023 at 11:09 am

    Why do they keep comparing Hawaii to Everest? One is an Island and the other is a mountain. One was formed due to volcanic eruptions and the other was formed when two tectonic plates crashed into each other. It like comparing otters to lions because they both have fur.

  18. Mateo Morel on July 26, 2023 at 11:09 am

    this video is epiccccccc

  19. Mark White on July 26, 2023 at 11:09 am

    Has anybody looked at those older underwater islands for any kind of artifacts?

  20. Jeff Palmer on July 26, 2023 at 11:11 am

    Well, I would say this has a lot more to do with eating the oceans then that favorite thing of carbonated beverage known as CO2

  21. Althea Craig on July 26, 2023 at 11:12 am

    According to Nick Zentner a geology professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, USA Yellowstone in Wyoming, is over a "hot spot" just like the big island of Kilauea. Isn’t mama earth a fascinating wonderful thing!

  22. Allen Watson on July 26, 2023 at 11:13 am

    More, much more like this. Love it. Get rid of the ‘reality tv’ stuff please.

  23. Leslie Carr on July 26, 2023 at 11:13 am

    The Pacific plate isn’t just sitting still. Every land mass and tectonic plate around the world is slowly sliding around on the absolutely vast ocean of mantle over a thousand miles thick under the crust. Since the Pacific plate is one of the single largest, it is subject to stretching and buckling like a sheet of Saran wrap stretched tightly over a plate piled high with meat and mashed potatoes and left in a microwave oven on high power. The mashed potatoes get hot and melt the Saran wrap across the top and eventually break through. But since the Pacific plate is moving, and is being stretched to both sides at the same time, a tear is forming along the Hawaiian chain which seals at the ancient end, essentially gluing itself back together. The Hawaiian islands are almost smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where the stretching and tearing would be expected to be most prominent. The islands are being fed from one or more giant magma chambers which in turn are continually being pumped full from the mantle under the crust in the weak spot.

    mispronouncing the Hawaiian names is just plain dumb

  26. Hanai Lee on July 26, 2023 at 11:15 am

    Water earth wind fire either🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋

  27. Supreme Reader on July 26, 2023 at 11:17 am

    Around 25:00 there’s another theory that makes sense that the Youtube channel Atlas Probe talked about and that’s that the Hawaiian hotspot might have been created by an asteroid impact hitting the exact opposite side of the earth in South Africa.

  28. DomesticTerror on July 26, 2023 at 11:17 am

    Someone needs to tell that one senator that this volcano goes all the way down to the ocean floor. IE, it is not floating and will not tip over.

  29. jws1948ja on July 26, 2023 at 11:18 am

    SO2 Will kill you in a breath.

  30. Kendall Kahl on July 26, 2023 at 11:18 am

    Hawaii volcanos go gurgle gurgle were others go boom boom but every few thousand years it goes Kaboom! Is the easy way to put it. Fortunately the hot spot tends to be low gas most of the time.

  31. Wade227 on July 26, 2023 at 11:19 am

    Do you think the narrator is as dumb as the text he reads? Or does he either not care or is frustrated with how it makes him sound?

  32. DIOMEDES ABCMNXYZ on July 26, 2023 at 11:20 am

    ~ The Hawaiian Islands are correspondingly situated at the same 23 degrees from the YellowStone SuperVolcano, as the Gobi & Taklamakan Deserts are to the asteroid impact that caused the planet Earth to wobble at 23 degrees, about 440 million years ago, & also begin the four seasons on planet Earth.
    It also caused the preCambrian extinction & the eventual Cambrian evolutionary varied diversity explosion of life because of the four seasons, as well as forming the Pacific Ocean Ring of Fire which absorbed the tectonic stresses on Earth’s crust, which is a direct result of the asteroid impact.

    What a gem we have in our youngest state!

  34. GRUNT91 on July 26, 2023 at 11:21 am

    I believe the government is behind most of these shootings. It’s never stopped happening they have one agenda and that’s to disarm you so they will have complete control. This is my last transmission be it a comment

  35. Kimberly Pence on July 26, 2023 at 11:22 am

    I agree!! 😎

  36. FollowerOfChrist on July 26, 2023 at 11:23 am

    Earth (which means land, not a globe) is only 6000 years old

  37. dat_gye_joe_daddy on July 26, 2023 at 11:23 am

    2100…. Hawaii is larger than the USA main land.

  38. Todd Hendricks on July 26, 2023 at 11:23 am

    Just sub scribed . Why because more exposure to other mind sets helps on to be ready.
    Never KEAP all eggs in one basket same as all info from one source . Look listen think.

  39. Kenia Siqueira on July 26, 2023 at 11:31 am

    Hawaii was formed entirely by volcanoes🏝️ It fascinates me! breathtaking islands ❤

  40. Joe Black on July 26, 2023 at 11:33 am

    Well done. Thanks

  41. Oraleholmes1 on July 26, 2023 at 11:34 am

    When your a billionaire, please don’t trust no one man damm

  42. Althea Craig on July 26, 2023 at 11:34 am

    Yea they finally mentioned Yellowstone! I am 86 years old as of January 3rd, 2023 and I love the internet! I can go all over the world from my home in Auburn, Washington, USA. I learn new things almost every day. And thanks to Grammarly even my spelling is corrected for me! 😻😻👵 my 2 kitties and me

  43. Meg Garstang on July 26, 2023 at 11:40 am

    What generates the heat at the core of our planet?

  44. robert on July 26, 2023 at 11:41 am

    seems like they could use that heat to make electricity

  45. Martin Whalley on July 26, 2023 at 11:43 am

    If you were swimming offshore, HOW FAR AWAY FROM the lava would you have to be, to avoid being melted

  46. Bill Otto on July 26, 2023 at 11:44 am

    You wouldn’t EVER find me going into some lava tube ! Not even at gun point ! 😳😳😳

  47. Demarcus Q on July 26, 2023 at 11:46 am

    So are volcanoes technically vent holes for the earths core? Or god knew volcanos would create land so he cracked the earth.

  48. Martin Whalley on July 26, 2023 at 11:46 am

    If Yellowstone goes, you set set a different record holder in stone

  49. Chase Ofori-Atta on July 26, 2023 at 11:51 am

    Hawaii has an awesome history–God truly is the architect of all places beautiful and Hawaii is at the top of that list! 🙂

  50. CDF DeSantis on July 26, 2023 at 11:55 am

    I live on the east coast of N. America, & back in the ’80’s, I got my one & only chance to go to Hawaii. I stayed on Oahu, but day tripped to the Big Island, because Kilauea was erupting, & I was determined to see it up close. I’m old as dirt, & I’ve seen a few natural wonders in my time; but my top 2 are definitely #2 – Kilauea, & #1 – the ocean itself. These are 2 immense natural forces that are moving & active, & we can see them shaping the world before our eyes. Of course, there’re other spectacular vistas in nature – the Himalayas, Angel Falls, the Grand Canyon, the Greenland glaciers, the Sahara Desert. But erupting volcanoes & mighty ocean waves & currents speak to me like nothing else. So much to see, so little time.
