Talk:Cumbre Vieja tsunami hazard

Reliable source?
Is this a good source? The title is a little worrisome (Chicxulub is probably not the largest asteroid to hit Earth, the one that created the Vredefort crater would be and of course Theia). Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:18, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I still don't understand how asteroids have to do with Cumbre Vieja. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 13:41, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Little, but the source discusses the tsunami because it is about non-earthquake tsunamis. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:49, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Tsunami deposits?
Please look for scientific journals analyzing any evidence for tsunami deposits of the coast of SC, USA for example—or lack thereof. 142.116.123.215 (talk) 01:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't find any source that explicitly linked any tsunami deposit there to Cumbre Vieja or other Canary Islands volcanoes. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:19, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Due weight on risk
So, I know that this page doesn't have a lot of watchers but I'd like to have some discussion about whether the article gives too much weight to the worst-case scenarios. I've rewritten the lead a little to emphasize how unlikely a tsunami is but I don't know if it's enough. The problem I think is that much of the risk discussion takes place via blogs and social media (which aren't good sources) and it often assumes that we all live in the USA (i.e it disregards the impact a collapse could have on the Canary Islands).

Location map
I think an additional illustration with a location map showing where in the Altantic Ocean La Palma/Canary Island is located might be useful for readers who might not know where the Canary Islands are located as well as giving readers an idea of the impact.

The article itself doesn't explain where it's located and relevant location maps are currently found only on the La Palma and Canary Islands articles (I personally prefer the one on the Canary Islands article).

I'd add one myself, but I have no idea on how to add a location map.

 * I've added one, but it doesn't work properly. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:24, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! 193.183.211.65 (talk) 16:04, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Coimbra or Porto
So, this edit with the summary The referenced paper doesn't mention Coimbra, which is not a coastal town, so it has a very low probability of being affected by the tsunami. The paper, however, mentions Porto, which is a coastal city.. Now, from reading the source it actually says Coimbra, but I don't know whether to revert because that's not a coastal city.

"Fake news" source
I can't speak Portuguese, but this source may be appropriate to use here. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:26, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

More sources on social media
might be worth mentioning in re social media during the 2021 eruption. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
