III Read the following passage and answer the questions below (5 points)
Wave power
Cumbre Vieja, a huge, active volcano on La Palma in the Canary Islands erupts every few decades, and scientists are worried because the walls of the volcano are getting weaker Scientists fear that when it erupts, one side of the volcano could collapse and fall into the sea If this happened, it would be a catastrophe Why? Because it would cause a tsunami – an enormous wave – the biggest ever recorded in history
How would it happen?
The volcano is by the sea, and the water next to the volcano is about six kilometers deep If the volcano collapsed, 500 billion tonnes of rock would fall into the sea This would create a huge tsunami about 100 meters high
What would happen next?
The wave would travel away from the Canary Islands in all directions at about 800 km/h The other Canary Islands would immediately be covered by water In less than an hour a 90-meter wave would hit north-west Africa The side of the volcano faces west, across Atlantic Ocean, which would protect Europe
a little However, a 12-meter tsunami would still reach Lisbon within three hours After five hours it would reach Britain The wave could travel a kilometer inland, and devastate towns and villages London would
be flooded
How far would it travel?
The wave would have enough energy to travel right across the Atlantic Ocean Eight hours after the eruption it would hit the east coast of America It would still be about 30 meters high Boston would be hit first, followed by New York, then the coast down to Miami The wave would cause a lot of damage in the Caribbean and Brazil too It would travel for several kilometers inland because the coast is very flat It would destroy everything and kill thousands of people
Answer the questions:
71 Why are scientists worried about Cumbre Vieja?
72 How long would it take the wave to reach the African coast?
73 Why would Europe be in less danger than America?
74 How big would the wave be when it reached Lisbon?
75 Why would it travel a long way inland in the Caribbean and South Africa?
