Why supervolcanoes are not our problem, but these seven areas of volcanic activity are

The video discusses the impact of smaller volcanoes on critical infrastructure, emphasizing the need for planning to mitigate volcanic activity effects. A study published in Nature Communications highlights that while super volcanoes erupt infrequently, lower magnitude eruptions occur more regularly and can cause significant disruption, especially in key areas. The 2010 Iceland eruption serves as a case study, illustrating the economic impact of volcanic activity. The video also explores potential disruptions from eruptions, such as ash clouds and landslides, and considers future scenarios where these events could lead to societal collapse.
