If a volcano blows apart a a large piece slides into the sea a large wave (tsunami) will be created. When Cumbre Vieja in La Palma eventually collapses into the Atlantic it could generate a 2000 feet high wave rushing across the Atlantic at 500 mph.

What is generally not a natural hazard caused by a volcanic eruption?

Generally, a volcanic eruption does not cause a tsunami. While volcanic eruptions can trigger tsunamis if they occur underwater or lead to landslides into the ocean, these events are not inherent to the eruption itself. Other natural hazards associated with volcanic eruptions include lava flows, ashfall, pyroclastic flows, and gas emissions. Thus, while related phenomena may happen, a tsunami is not a direct result of the eruption.
