Talk:Teneguía

It is NOT a volcano in its own right but a cinder cone which is part of the Cumbre Vieja's many cinder cones. It is classed as a "vent" and like most "cinder cones" is a mono-genetic. It goes through a period of eruptive activity followed by dormancy and finally it closes down completely. The clue is in its the description "Mono-genetic vent"The Geologist (talk) 15:24, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

NO NY HAS NOT. NY State and City HAVE NOT CARRIED OUT AN EVACUATION EXERCISE IN RESPECT OF ANY PERCEIVED TSUNAMI. Parts of the city were evacuated because of the impact of Hurricane Sandie. There is also growing evidence that the claim that the Cumbre Vieja is unstable is actually without any scientific foundation - unless you are financed by an insurance company based in the USA. The claim is made that the crack on the Cumbre Vieja - about 20 kilometers north of Teneguia, is about 4 km long. It is not - it is about 1500 meters long, the ONLY place where there is 4 meter displacement is at the Duraznero and Hoyo Negro vents, the rest of the crack varies from about 2.5 meters displacement to ZERO and averages less than 2 meters. The horizontal displacement is about 1 meter - except at the vents. As at December 2014 the whole flank is still stable has the same dimensions that it had in 1949 and the only displacement is the whole island which is moving westwards at about 25 mm per year. So stop passing off fiction as fact. The scientific evidence does not support the claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.205.148 (talk) 17:01, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Speculation, erroneous
It has also been predicted that the volcano will show some more activity and is a possibility of a land slide causing some of the island to fall off. This will cause a tsunami. It's most likely going to destroy a lot of south England and the east coast of America. The governments of both countries are quite aware. New York have already carried out evacuation plans. .

The comment above is at best speculative and also contains errors both of fact and grammar. It is also badly written. The statement refers to the Cumbre Vieja without naming it, is scientifically incorrect and increasing scientific consensus is that the predicted landslide may not happen for at least 10000 years - see the entry for the Cumbre Vieja which contains many peer reviewed references. I have been in contact with various departments in New York and the other states affected by Hurricane Sandy, and none of them are aware of any plans for a tsunami evacuation being carried out. What they are aware of as mentioned above is that when Hurricane Sandy or "Superstorm Sandy" affected New York etc; they had to evacuate many of the low lying areas and advise residents who could not or would not leave to go high levels in buildings. I have deleted the comment in its entirety.The Geologist (talk) 16:32, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

High and Position
The geographic data from the GVP are too inaccurate. The more precise data on the highest point of the crater rim can be found at and the referenced current topographic map from geografico nacional (IGN)". I would change it later. Sextant (talk) 16:49, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
