Correct answers The water next to the volcano is
about six kilometers deep. If the volcano collapsed, 500 billion
tones of rock would fall into the sea. The wave would travel away from the Canary Islands in all directions at about 800 km/h. In less than an hour a 90-metre wave would hit north-west Africa. Eight hours after the eruption it would hit the east coast of America.

Answer the questions Why are scientists worried about Cumbre
Vieja? How long would it take the wave to reach
the African coast? Why would Europe be in less danger than America? How big would the wave be when it reached Portugal? Why would it travel a long way inland in the Caribbean and South America? What can scientists do to predict the eruptions?
Слайд 10
Correct answers Scientists fear that when the volcano erupts,
one side of the volcano could collapse and fall
into the sea. It would cause the biggest tsunami ever recorded in history. Less than one hour. Because the side of the volcano faces west, across the Atlantic. It would be 12metres high. Because the coast is very flat. They can put better equipment on Cumbre Vieja.
