Isn't that theory from some total nutjob?
- robin_reala 4y agoNo, but the consensus is that the intial modelling wasn’t accurate enough in several areas, which when updated leads to a much lower risk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard
- mannykannot 4y agoIt is not exactly a volcanic eruption that is the threat, but the collapse of the flank of the island (which might cause or be triggered by an eruption.) I believe Hawai'i presents a similar risk, and undersea avalanches (such as the prehistoric Storegga slides in the Norwegian Sea) pose a tsunami threat in many parts of the world not noted for their earthquake risk.
