How dangerous are volcanoes in Germany?

The Volcanic Eifel is a peaceful region in western Germany. For hundreds of thousands of years, volcanic forces raged here, before settling down. But could these natural forces reawaken?

Today's Volcanic Eifel was formed from cooled lava and volcanic ash. But deep below the surface, the earth is still bubbling. In fact, there are many indications that the rumbling underground is actually hot magma making its way to the Earth’s surface. How great is the danger of another eruption here in the Eifel, by far the youngest volcanic area in Central Europe?

On the shores of the region’s Laacher See, a special phenomenon is attracting the attention of scientists. Here, carbon dioxide gas bubbles rise. They come from a huge magma chamber at a depth of about 40 kilometers - the so-called "Eifel Plume". What do these bubbles tell us about the processes in the Earth's interior? Scientists are certain that the volcanoes will reawaken at some point. But when and where will it happen? To find out as precisely as possible, scientists are constantly listening - all the way down to the depths of the Earth.

There are a lot of hot springs in Germany. These can be found in places that have the word “Bad” (bath) in front of their names, like Bad Kreuznach in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Heh, could be.

0:29 which is why it’s so surprising that nearly a third of the country here is basically just an empty void...
1:01 ...if you take a map of france and you draw a diagonal line from the port city of l’ove on the english channel over to straight through the center of marseille on the mediterranean you’ll cut the country roughly in half and yet sixty percent of the french live to the east of this line while only forty percent live to the west of it a fact that can be seen...
1:23 ...but what’s far more interesting than that line are these lines in between them is a stretch of france nearly 1 000 kilometers long and about 400 kilometers wide on average nearly one-third of france’s entire territory that’s about the same size as belarus within this large zone the population density of people is only about 30 persons per square kilometer...
3:39 ...for most of history france was by far the most populous country on the european continent during the medieval period more than one out of every four people in europe were french and even by the 17th century it was still one out of every five during the french revolutionary and napoleonic wars france was still the most populous nation in europe and they had a higher population than even the entirety of russia and nearly double the population of the united kingdom. in fact at the time of napoleon france was the fourth most populous country in the entire world lagging only behind china india and japan...
4:42 during the revolutionary and napoleonic wars nearly 2 million french citizens were killed...
4:58 ...during the first world war france lost 10 [percent] of its entire active male population. in just four years 1.3 million french were killed during the war
5:32 was also rapidly urbanizing and the population was becoming highly centralized around just a few key population centers...

I live not too far from Middletown, CT, which is the epicenter of the steamed cheeseburger revolution here in Connecticut. The originator was a place called "Jack's Lunch" but has since closed but many other restaurants in the area have kept up the tradition.

I've never actually had one but there is much talk about steamed cheeseburgers in these parts and one of these days, I'm going to take a trip up that area and try one out.

They do have a kit available that you can order by mail so you can cook these at home but I'm thinking I would like my first steamed cheeseburger to be professionally made.

Damm that Moon and its tides! We need Moon Control! Lets send the moonbats!!

We’re all living on top of extinct volcanoes and their lava floes, apart from those of us living next to, say, Vesuvius, Etna, or the Cascade range. :^) That said, volcanologists are often wrong.

[SunkenCiv]

Sounds great, I could use a soak.

[SunkenCiv]

It’s a danged menace!

They make a lot of statements that are only taken seriously because all context is removed or at least hidden in lower paragraphs. Our lifetime is not really at question here. And neither is the life time of the next 10 generations. Volcanoes and earthquakes will happen. They will appear more often near where they have occurred in the past. But sometimes they will pop up where they did not ever exist before. We can only watch. Most often, we get plenty of warning. These scientists also get plenty of money, especially if they scare the right people.

There’s a churning, bubbling hot mess cauldron of disaster beneath and within Germany - but it isn’t volcanoes.....

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN EXTINCT VOLCANO

—
That’s because of the well known fact that the Earth’s crust does not move and the volcanic plumes stay stationary according to unnamed sources in Rio Linda.

You’d think that an Appalachian volcano would be smushed and folded as to be unrecognizable but there are some columnar basalt structure still visible, mainly as small pieces of float on the ground.
