Yeah I have a couple of friends who fly Seahawks for the Navy and they are over there flying supplies and aid in. I just got an email from one of them and he said he could not believe the devastation. Mother Nature is not very forgiving.

Let's just hope the volcano in the Canary Ils. does not let loose during our lifetimes. The Mega-Tsunami calculated for that event will dwarf what's happened in E. Asia. It will completely wipe out Florida, and much of Georgia, SC, NC, Washington DC, western NY, and Mass. in the USA, the South coast of Britain and the west coast of France will also get it pretty bad. The Bahama's and Jamaica and most of the rest of the Carribean will just be gone.

Ppppppppppppfft, impossible.

There beeth not the force in a volcano to create this damage, not even in Olympus Mons if that happened to be on earth.

I can't see an 100ft wave going all the way across the Atlantic, hitting both sides seaboards, all the way across...

Anyway, how does an eruption cause a Tsunami?

Earthquakes cause the heavy vibrations and shifting needed to cause the giant waves to form.

NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 01-08-2005, 05:57 PM

You are wrong about Volcanos causing tsunamis. The force of a Volcanos eruption can cause the plates to shift which in turn causes an earthquake which in turn can cause a tsunami. It can also go the other way, earthquake causes plates to shift, which builds up pressure, which causes volcano to erupt.

GermansRGeniuses · 01-08-2005, 06:01 PM

Still, there is no way that a volcano with that much force exists...

Oh, are we forgetting the fact THAT THE BLOODY CANARIES ARE NEXT TO AFRICA???

I highly doubt that even if there was a huge wave, it would go in a 360° path, spreading up towards France, right to Africa, and in a left diagonal path to Florida and the Carribbean...

Actually in this instance, the Volcano on the Canary Island Chain is right on the water, and what will cause the Tsunami is the amount of earth, lava and debris that will fall into the Atlantic Ocean, causing a horrific Wave(s) that will wipe out alot more than just 200,000 people....

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 01-08-2005, 06:05 PM

I will agree with you you on that, that I dont think waves would extend out 360 degrees and cause tsunamis that would wipe out every coastal region on every continent in the Atlantic. However I would not count out the fact that a Volcano does not exist that can put out that much force.

I agree, man are we so far of of topic though.

GermansRGeniuses · 01-08-2005, 06:07 PM

I say the lava/magma would have a negative effect on the waves, due to the fact that it would heat it and steam, slowing down a wave...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 01-08-2005, 06:10 PM

Yes but the initial shock from it and volcanos have been known to cause earth quakes.

GermansRGeniuses · 01-08-2005, 06:16 PM

Maybe the vibrations, but not the lava...

What I was saying is that the steam and heat wouldn't be too good for a wave to form...

lesofprimus · 01-08-2005, 06:17 PM

Have u ever seen what happens when a piece of a glacier falls off into the water??? It creates a huge wave from the displacement of the water that the large chunks of ice form....

Multiply that force times 1000.. The land mass that will fall into the ocean from that volcano is larger than anything anyone has ever seen in recorded history.. I saw a program on the Discovery Channel concerning this.....

The wall of water expected to reach the USA eastern coast is said to be in the 100 foot range, traveling at the speed of sound....

GermansRGeniuses · 01-08-2005, 06:18 PM

Bullcrap...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 01-08-2005, 06:25 PM

I have seen National Geographic shows too on the subject and they have said a volcano or earthquake stong eneogh could create tidal waves as high as 200 ft and traveling at speeds of 600mph. Naturally they will slow down over distance but it is completly possible.
