3 occurances in the 20th century, 2 in the 17th. One in the 18th. Shit is hotting up Interesting.
They did come through.
That Magma wants to do something; and it is pooling with a purpose. Obviously it will erupt at some point again and in terms of timescales the probability is closer to sooner rather than later. Seeing the swarms come and then go makes sense with the magma finding chambers, swelling and then causing further swarms of readings.
We are definitely almost certainly going to see a happening happen this time I think.
Krakatoa didn’t cause huge tidal waves to sweep the seas clean of all life, and that was an island that blew up and dumped hundreds of tons of debris into the oceans, altered global weather for a short time, and destroyed a mountain. So I don’t think the mega tsunami is happening
From what I’ve heard and read, and explosive eruption is unlikely. A Strombolian style eruption seems to be the one scientists are saying is the go-to which is about a 1-2 in the VEI. Not explosive like most eruptions but it can cause the landslide which in turn causes the mega tsunami.
It produced a wave that initally reached something like 150 metres and was still between 40 and 50 metres when it struck the coast of Java. The sea around Krakatoa is a lot shallower than la palma and it sits in the middle of a relatively narrow channel, between two large islands (which took a huge amount of damage, but were sparsely populated), so the wave was drawn down fairly quickly by the resistance of that shallow sea bed. La Palma is the peak of an abyssal volcano. The sea-bed is too deep to create much resistance to the wave moving through the ocean.
Can't, got a bring a cat that I was watching back to Manhattan tomorrow.
