Potential Tsunami in Atlantic
Studies of surface faulting produced by a 1949 eruption suggest that a large mass of between 200 and
500 cubic kilometers could slip into the sea, generating an Atlantic Ocean tsunami with basin-wide
impact. Models suggest that these waves could be 100 meters high at adjacent islands, 50-100 meters
high on the African coast, 7-10 meters high at Spain and the UK and over 20 meters high on the coast
of Florida.
