Can Cumbre Vieja-volcano at La Palma island cause the megatsunami?

 Can Cumbre Vieja-volcano at La Palma island cause the megatsunami?




The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano has lasted a long time. And the most apocalyptic vision this kind of eruption can cause the tsunami what destroys infrastructure at the costs of Spain, Portugal, and northern Africa. And can that happen? 

The answer is that nobody knows. The reason why somebody believes that thing. Is that the eruption of the island of Thera (Santorini) caused a tsunami that destroyed Minoan culture a long time ago. Also, the tsunami of the Krakatoa eruption caused massive destruction at both times when that volcano has erupted. 

The answer to that question that can Cumbre Vieja volcano causes similar destruction is that many things are different in the La Palma island than in Thera and Krakatoa. The thing that causes tsunamis in the eruptions of the volcano is the situation when the lava chamber is empty. 

So tsunami is forming after the eruption in the case that chamber of the volcano is empty. When there is no pressure that thing causes the collapse of the lava chamber. Then the water will flow to the lava chamber. And then it will explode when water touches the heated stone. That explosion will cause the pressure effect that will make water molecules act like billiard balls. 

The volcanic tsunami forms when the island explodes and water flows in the lava chamber. So the tsunami forms actually, after the eruption when the pressure of the empty lava chamber cannot resist the pressure of water. 

The energy will travel from a molecule to another until it faces the coastline. And then the tsunami rises. While traveling in the deep sea the tsunami is hard to notice. The island of La Palma is far away from the coastline but the problem is that there is no friction between the bottom and the pressure wave. And if the coast is very abrupt the tsunami will rise very soon. The thing that determines the height of the tsunami is how deep the pressure wave starts its journey. 

If the island collapses near the bottom of the ocean that causes that more water will take a part in the energy transfer and tsunami forming. In the cases, that the collapse happens near the surface there is less water taking apart in tsunamis and the wave will be weaker. The thing that makes the Krakatoa and Thera so devastating was that the eruption was over. At the moment when the collapse of the island happened. 

The thing is that the symmetry of collapse of the island has also effect to the tsunami. If the island collapses straight down the tsunami should not be so powerful as in a non-symmetrical collapse. Surveillance cameras can show that if the island collapses. And if that happens there is a short time to give warning. But there are no surveillance cameras on all volcanic islands. 


And most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. The fact is that we cannot predict tsunamis. But there is the possibility to use radars and another thing to search the oceans. For warning people about this kind of catastrophe. The radar satellite can search the condensation of the water molecules. But the fact is that tsunamis are hard to predict.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...
