Answer - NOT SCAREMONGERING
When the Cumbre Vieja erupts and some believe it will very soon do so, the effects of the predicted landslide would be rather moderate.
There is a handfull of scientists predicting a huge landslide that will dump large masses of earth into the ocean creating so called "Mega Tsunamis" that will wipe out entre cities. This theory has been published over and over again by media since it is the most sensational claim of the mall.
The truth however is that the latest models show a far less dramatic event occuring. The water pockets inside the mountain will vaporize because of the heat, causing the mountain to crumle down into the ocean in pieces and over a larger period of time. Even if that will cause some local tidalwaves, the kinetic force of the water will not be large enough to even reach the US coasts and South America.
The "Mega Tsunami" event is the very LEAST likely to happen even thoug its not impossible. Educate yourselfs people, do not stick to one thing and then live in fear!

The effects of a Cumbre Vieja eruption and landslide will be devastating, to say the least. Scientists predict that in the future, Cumbre Vieja will erupt, and the whole western side of the island will drop off into the Atlantic Ocean. This major landslide will produce very large amounts of energy. The estimated weight of the "chunk of island" is 3.0 X 1015 lb. This awesome power will create a wave with an initial height of around 5,000 ft, nearly 1 mile high. By the time it gets to America's East coast, the waves are projected to be roughly 200 ft high. This extreme sized wave will carry vast quantities of water nearly 16 miles inland; destroying everything in it's path... including much of America's economy, industrial, financial, agricultural, etc.
what is the kind of eruption abu volcano produce
Most explosive volcanoes are stratovolcanoes, also called composite volcanoes.
Extremely rich soil for farming.
Height of the main vent of the volcano
Height of the main vent of the volcano
earthquakes pressurize the main magma chamber in a volcano by the earth crust. as a result the magma comes out of the volcano
The most dangerous volcano is a volcano that is erupting violently, spitting out lots of lava, rock and ash.The effect of a volcano can disrupt countries across the world, as I am sure you know from the eruption in Iceland.
Volcanic eruptions usually displace survivors as the area around the volcano is usually rendered uninhabitable. The amount of volcanic ash emitted from the eruption also changes the air quality which can also be dangerous.
A volcanic eruption puts ash into the air, which cuts off sunlight to the plant. Light is needed for photosynthesis to happen, so photosynthesis wouldn't happen if a volcano erupted near the plant.
It does not affect a volcano's ability to erupt. However, if a volcano is in a cold climate or tall enough that there is snow and ice at its summit, an eruption could cause this to melt. The water mixed with ash can form deadly mudflows called lahars.
I can give you 2 1: Builds new land like in Hawaii 2: Fertilizes the land
The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, a volcano in Indonesia, killed tens of thousands of people and blasted ash into the stratosphere. This had the effect of cooling the planet by about 3 degrees in the year following the explosion.
