Does it threaten a megatsunami?

A long, long time ago, 73,000 years to be exact, the eastern face of a volcano collapsed in Cape Verde.This caused a wave of gigantic proportions, which rose to 170 meters high and then crashed with enormous force in a nearby island.

They say it can happen again This is stated by Ricardo Ramalho , a geophysicist at the University of Bristol, although he clarifies that it cannot be known exactly when or where. The problem is the young oceanic volcanoes-such as those found in the Canary Islands or the Azores, or Hawaii-that have very high altitudes and steep walls; the scientist believes that the potential disaster is there, if it happens again with certainty it will originate in these volcanoes.
