What are facts about La Palma volcano?
The La Palma volcano, known as Cumbre Vieja (old summit) is a stratovolcano and volcanic ridge composed of layers of cooled lava flows and ash. The summit of the volcano consists of a caldera formed by an ancient eruption. During an eruption in 1949 a fracture formed along part of the volcano and a portion of the island slid eastward and downward. There is some concern that, in a future eruption, this slope could fail in a massive landslide, triggering a tsunami that would threaten coasts along the Atlantic Ocean, including the U.S. East Coast.

Why are there more tsunami's in the Pacific ocean than the Atlantic?
The Pacific Ring Of Fire (look it up on google) is located in the Pacific ocean. It is due to have very active volcanoes and earthquakes. The pacific ocean means "Peaceful sea" but the Pacific is way more active than the Atlantic! The Atlantic is only due to one volcano that can reach the United States which is Cumbre Vieja (look it up on google) that is located in the Canary Islands northwest of Africa. But remember - tsunamis can happen in the Atlantic too, because of volcanic eruptions and landslides and underwater earthquakes (remember the Haiti earthquake). Though since the pacific ring of fire has more volcanoes and earthquakes, they get many more tsunamis than Atlantic. Hope this helps, and look for "Pacific Ring of fire" and "Cumbre Vieja" on google! :)
