The volcanic activity, principally at the convergence of the three ridges, resulted in the continual expansion of the island. A mere 50,000 years ago, as a result of seismic tremors which produced massive landslides, a giant piece of the island cracked off, crashed down into the ocean and scattered along the seabed. This landslide of more than 300km3 gave rise to the impressive amphitheatre of the El Golfo valley and at the same time caused a tsunami that most likely rose over 100 metres high and probably reached as far as the American coast.

Like the above poster said people are not worried on this. Friends of mine live there and they don't fear of something big will happen.

Only thing they say, Finally something happens around here

And the one on La Palma, la Cumbre Vieja. If this one erupts there is nothing on a tsunami or such.

There is possible tsunami if the half of the island collides into the sea.

It's not directly related to a volcanic eruption.

Been watching this closely on another forum. Pretty intense stuff!

Like potential mega-tsunami stuff.

If I may wear my foil hat for a moment, someone was telling me about comet elenin (?) coming close by soon and it and the planet alignments were likely to cause another huge earthquake like Tokyo and Haiti somewhere around Oct. 17th, I think? Can someone fill in the gaps for me on this? ......./foil hat
