| #1 https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2001GL013110 From a 2001 scientific publication: Geological evidence suggests that during a future eruption, Cumbre Vieja Volcano on the Island of La Palma may experience a catastrophic failure of its west flank, drop- ping 150 to 500 km 3 of rock into the sea. Using a geologi- cally reasonable estimate of landslide motion, we model tsu- nami waves produced by such a collapse. Waves generated by the run-out of a 500 km 3 (150 km 3) slide block at 100 m/s could transit the entire Atlantic Basin and arrive on the coasts of the Americas with 10-25 m (3-8 m) height. |
