If this causes the north of the island to split and slide as scientists fears then
US east coast is in for a super tsunami , estimates over 100meter high wave!

I recall they calculated it on the mass that slides down, slide angle slide speed
and how US coastal shores looks like etc, but yes, who knows but afterwards.
They say it will depend if it commit suicide by a steam explosion by all the water
that pored into the fractured mountain over the decades
@HerrKlaus I don’t know who “they” is; I think that’s part of a TV show that’s rather sensationalistic in it’s presentation, but the Atlantic is big enough to absorb a lot of that energy. Some parts could be as large as 2004, depending upon seabed formation and angle of incoming waves, but the math doesn’t figure for anything larger at this point. I’m certainly not an expert, but when you’ve been through one like I have in 2004 and got lucky, you tend to start learning.
Not at all , it has been studied by many volcanologists and geologists since the previous
eruption in the 70ies no flimfalm people are involved in this stuff only serious pro stuff.
Spanish institutions for example and other similar around the globe.
E.g: Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) and Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN)

The Atlantic dont absorb the energy it acts as a a medium for the energy, basic physics.

I’ve known about this for years, so far this looks to be a localized disaster for The Canary Islands/Spain, but that could change. It will probably be fine, but if that land does break off than it will set off some sort of ocean response. Which could be anything from six inches of water to 100 feet - the estimates are all over the map.
