The scientific meeting the night of the volcanoes in Fuencaliente, has served to contrast such divergent positions on the volcanology in La Palma as Simon Day, who presented the model of the catastrophe that would cause the slippage of Cumbre Vieja or, on the contrary, the proposal of the prestigious Spanish geologist Luis González de Vallejo, who defends the "great stability" of this volcanic edificeposition much less impact media as above, but with a solid scientific basis;Vallejo González was overwhelming to the several hundred people who gathered in Fuencaliente and stressed that the building Cumbre Vieja is "very stable", even more than the Teide-Pico Viejo, with a payback period of this phenomenon which was 80,000 years. This fixes one of the uncertainties generated by the theory of Simon Day, which is unable to forward a time frame to the collapse that forecasts of this volcano, i.e., that according to the British scientist could be this year or within several thousand years. In fact, specified that major landslides in the Canary Islands and in the Atlantic Islands generally occur because they grow very fast on a very weak base, which tends to give up due to lack of stability. In the case of Cumbre Vieja, estimated that still remain you more than a thousand meters so lost that stability and a large landslide might occur.Lizards along with coralThe Complutense University geologist stressed that this conclusion responds to scientific evidence, not to the development of theories, in a clear allusion to Day. González de Vallejo has participated in a study that is still in phase of publication and that goes to show for the first time that in the Canary Islands have been mega-tsunami (giant waves of more than 50 meters) and the causes that generated them.Among the conclusions is that in the Canary Islands even though there was evidence of the existence of large landslides that caused mega tsunamis to come into contact with the sea, now have confirmed scientifically, to discover for the first time in the Islands 'tsunami deposit', that were not known until now."There have been many landslides (La Orotava, new Summit, the Gulf) in the Canary Islands, but fortunately we have found deposits of tsunamis, because if not continue at the level of speculation", explained. The places where you have made these findings are in Agaete (Gran Canaria); Teno (Tenerife); and high stone (Lanzarote). It is of "huge tsunami deposits, probably the best preserved and most complete in the world". Scientists have found in these locations fauna marina along with continental on high surfaces. "We found lizards along with corals," he explained.A few tsunamis have much seniority and produced by landslides resulting from the fact that the Islands 'grow to extremely fast speeds".
