The remaining part of La Palma will block some of the wave, limiting the effect on Europe. The wave has a free run across the Atlantic on the other side.
Here is my problem. If I have a wave 200 feet tall starting out a one mile radius, it has a circumference of 6.28 miles. After it has crossed the ocean and has a radius of 3000 miles and a circumference of 18,850 miles, this 200 foot tall wave has increased in volume by a factor (and kinetic energy) of 3000 times. This wave has kinetic energy equivalent to 1/2mv^2. Where did all this kinetic energy gain come from during the transit across the ocean?
See 38. You are wrong in general, and also wrong in particular to believe that “The remaining part of La Palma will block some of the wave, limiting the effect on Europe.” Tsunami waves are not “blocked” by islands, they are encircled by the wave energy which simply wraps around them.
There is so much ignorance of physics and hysterical misinformation on these stories I want to just hit my head on my keyboard.
