Found: The BIGGEST Volcano Out There!

Scientists believe they've discovered the largest volcano on Earth! But it's not the biggest one out there. Trace looks at the greatest volcanoes in our Solar System. Read More: Underwater volcano is Earth's biggest http://www.nature.com/news/underwater-volcano-is-earth-s-biggest-1.13680 "Geophysicists have discovered what they say is the largest single volcano on Earth, a 650-kilometre-wide beast the size of the British Isles lurking beneath the waters of the northwest Pacific Ocean." The Tallest Mountains in the Solar System http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2012/01/the-tallest-mountains-in-the-solar-system/ "If asked to name the tallest mountain on Earth, most people would answer Mount Everest. They'd be wrong--Everest is the highest peak on the planet, but mountains are measured from their base to their peak, and Everest's base sits far above sea level on the Tibetan Plateau. And when you start looking at the tallest (known) mountains in the solar system, Mount Everest, at only 2.3 to 2.9 miles tall (depending on where you decide the mountain's base is located), doesn't even make the list:" Io: Overview http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Jup_Io "Looking like a giant pizza covered with melted cheese and splotches of tomato and ripe olives, Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Volcanic plumes rise 300 km (190 miles) above the surface, with material spewing out at nearly half the required escape velocity." Deep In The Pacific, Scientists Discover Biggest Volcano On Earth http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/09/06/219690370/deep-in-the-pacific-scientists-discover-biggest-volcano-on-earth "The world's largest volcano has until now been lurking undiscovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, according to a team of scientists who identified the massive object and reported their findings in the latest issue of Nature Geoscience." OLYMPUS MONS http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/atlas/olympus-mons.html "The largest of the volcanoes in the Tharsis Montesregion, as well as all known volcanoes in the solar system, is Olympus Mons." Olympus Mons: Giant Mountain of Mars http://www.space.com/20133-olympus-mons-giant-mountain-of-mars.html "Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the solar system. The massive Martian mountain towers high above the surrounding plains of the red planet, and may be biding its time until the next eruption." Plate tectonics confirmed on Mars http://io9.com/5933638/plate-tectonics-confirmed-on-mars "After nearly forty years of research, scientists have finally proven that plate tectonics exist on Mars. A recently published paper by An Yin in the journal Lithosophere reveals that the origin of Valles Marineris on Mars — the longest trough system in the solar system — was formed by rifting, strike-slip faulting, and subsurface mass removal. Yin's research now shows that Earth's surface is not the only one in the solar system subject to the forces of plate tectonics."

1. planets are stars and earth is flat
2. yep Yellowstone Supervolcano
3. Just had to say a great deal of the effects you see on the moons of other planets are effects of electrical interaction between them. Even our weather, volcano's and earth quakes are now being associated with these connections. It is starting to become accepted that all matter is interconnected. We are connected. We know atomic particles at great distances have been observed instantly reacting to the action of the other. That with no measurable time difference. We live in a new time of discovery and understanding. So cool.
4. guys, I'm sorry to inform you but it has been proven a mountain like this is formed from an electrical plasma discharge of a past close encounter with another body in space. Its a electrical discharge. Like lighting. Lighting is a plasma, the fourth state of matter. To educated yourself, go to: www.thunderbolts.info and its associated sites. I know some will say then why has not science told us otherwise? So many reasons. You will have to do the time online yourself. It would not be fare to you to give you the little information I do here. I've been at this for several years. You will not have to work as hard, because so much is now know and in these places. Be well. Be safe and question everything.
5. Yellowstone Supervolcano.

7. I KNOW THE SMALLEST AND THE BIGGEST THE SMALLEST IS TAAL VOLCANO
8. People still think Olympus Mons is a s Super Volcano by it's size. Which is incorrect. Olympus Mons is a Shield Volcano.
9. But what is the biggest volcano on Io?
10. Yes i know Olympus mons
11. Really good video . thanks for upload

19. +Lexman00 If Earth had another moon... Hmm let me think, have you ever played Kerbal Space Program? It'd be like that... Kerbin (Earth), Mun (Moon), Minmus (Second Moon)..
20. So anyone else notice that jupiter has the coolest moons? One is covered in water, the other completely covered in lava(ish). Im expecting one to show up covered in giant trees with little teddy bear like creatures... (Star Wars kids.)
