A Volcanic Eruption COULD Occur In Melbourne’s CBD

Could a volcanic eruption really happen in the heart of Melbourne’s Central Business District (CBD)? In this video, we explore the geological history of the region and the surprising volcanic activity that has shaped Melbourne’s landscape over millions of years. Melbourne, known for its modern skyline and vibrant city life, sits on ancient volcanic plains, remnants of eruptions from the the Older Volcanics along with more recent widespread eruptions from the Newer Volcanics Province, which stretches across western Victoria. But what does this mean for the future? Could the city be at risk of another eruption, and if so, what would it look like? In this video, we dive deep into the Cosgrove Hotspot, the geological forces behind Melbourne’s volcanic past, and how the landscape around the CBD is covered in basaltic lava flows that date back millions of years. We’ll explain the potential dangers a basaltic volcanic eruption may pose to a bustling urban environment like Melbourne. Learn h
