The (a)scientific series released on Netflix

Tourists traveling in March because of toxic gases had to fly in the air because they encountered a volcanic column and an authority that was just about to avoid the panic. Yes, it’s just the principle. The ingredients de La Palmathe miniseries that was just released on NetflixIt may be that Hollywood films are falling apart more and more for pure entertainment, even though it is a Norwegian production based on a scientific studio and solution-oriented work. Solo in the distance.

The argument is that a major eruption on La Palma could lead to a huge decline in wildlife on the island, triggering a gigantic tsunami, with scientists from the high-altitude metropolises of the Atlantic Ocean, the entire Canary Archipelago and the coast of the Costa Americanas. The result was that the main scientific knowledge that appeared in the series was completely disastrous; With 100 million deaths in this series “The mayor disastrous about human history”Comment from one person.

The outcome of this series of individual chapters is comparable to the Polémica that he generated. A large part of the criticism is based on the fact that local residents are in the middle of the problems Moral dilemmas of a Norwegian family This is a Canary Islands holiday. Probably, the best Sean of the residents of La Palma – he has confirmed the true eruption of 2021 to capture spectacular images of the new volcano on the island, in humid environments and on the hills that are on its site – and I think it’s a real lucky charm. In this case, have you commented on the main dispute?

“The science-based series is a disaster,” summed up Joan Martí, geologist at the Instituto de Diagnóstico Ambiental y Estudios del Agua (IDAEA-CSIC), in a statement to El Confidencial. Without embargo, this fiction is on hold A Real Studio published in 2001 by geologists Simon Day and Steven Ward en la revista Geophysical Research Letters. In their plant analysis, there was a large eruption in the Cumbre Vieja, which caused great hope for the rocks in the west of La Palma. Recently, it was able to trigger a tsunami in the Atlantic Ocean that was only 50 meters away, traveling 800 kilometers per hour and hitting the entire Costa Americana, cities such as New York and the Brazilian coast.

This is a theory that has become more popular due to the increasing disclosure of products such as a documentary BBC20 years later, in 2021, Cumbre Vieja experienced a volcanic eruption, but with a much more modest result, without gigantic earth removals taking place on March. Day and Ward expressed a model of Earth’s instability that was much more theoretical than real. “If you have to force yourself, at the end, you will have to wait”CSIC expert comment. However, it should be said that the island was revived three years ago due to an eruption “as those registered in the historical register”.

Por qué (nosotros) no veremos a gran delicamiento

Joan Martí’s team has been studying the geological features of La Palma since the eruption in 2021, in a reviewed work, not yet published, that has precisely analyzed the stability of the island’s pendants. “There is no such special movement “Since this is the case, the likelihood of it being produced is nonexistent,” the IDAEA-CSIC investigator explained. “With the data that lies over the mesa, hey por hoy, no es posible,” he added.

There is no fear that a catastrophic event could occur in the future due to other geological conditions, but it is likely that it will happen Tens of thousands of miles or millions of years. Today, more than 200,000 years ago in the last time we were in Tenerife, it is over when our last specialty took place, homo sapiensapenas estaba dando sus firstros pasos. “There is a possibility that there will be even greater destruction and stability of the Earth,” he said. It concludes: “Communities were destroyed as the Canary Islands and other volcanic islands such as Hawái grew, but in reality they lacked the necessary factors.”

In La Palma in particular, “they sought to increase the dependence on the eastern zone even further,” changing the earth to emerge on the volcanic islands based on new eruptions at the end of time. The model that CSIC scientists used suggested that the intrusion of magma and the sismicidal compound caused small people to move a large distance, and just a few seconds later The earth is very stable.

In the introduction to each chapter of the Netflix series, it was made clear that the island is one “Bomba de watch” Since the San Juan Volcano in 1949, an idea, like everything else, had a basis in reality, but it was exaggerated. “Todas las islas volcánicas lo serían,” said Martí, but on a historic geological staircase, more than a person. In this way, right in the middle of history, scientists discovered that they had an analysis that recorded the meridional part of the North Island above and in this zone that had produced subsequent tremors, including that of 2021. “Los magmas Play the earth on site más débil,” commented the scientist.

Did you lose the tsunami?

Because this collapse could be produced in an instant, more questions followed. Generates a megatsunami? Obviously, everything Depending on the amount of material que Impactase en el mar. “La ola serías grande or más pequeña en función de si caen manyos cubicos kilometers de roca or no,” Martí summed up, which was not the last time that in a future the geological conditions were appropriate.

Jorge Macías Sánchez, mathematician from the University of Málaga and researcher of the Edanya group (Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis and Applications), is an expert in calculations related to tsunamis and considers the hypothesis that a devastating devastation has left the Atlantic with a collapse on La Palma “completely exaggerated”. In their model, Day and Ward suggested that 500 cubic kilometers of material had to be struck in March (dato que aparece en la serie), an idea that later studios commissioned. A French analysis published more than a year ago is based on the following kilometers: 20, 40 and 80 km³.

“It’s not a catastrophic scenario, it’s much more limited, y Your simulation is much more complex and realistic“, commented the expert. The function of the Roca-Canada is to “change the maximum height of the eggs”. In other words: “The speed at which you travel is independent of the greats that Sean has and depends more on the depth of the ocean.” In this case the effect of the Canary Islands is very important, but on the Costa Americana it could be an anecdote.

The devastating ocean tsunami in 2004 caused an example. The Southeast Asian countries, most of them in the epicenter of submarine territory, look at the small part that also visits the African shores, but even more small things. In general, when a tsunami is triggered by destruction, as is the case in the disaster situation on La Palma, “the effect on site can be even more important than in the disaster situation, but.” The propagation capacity is low; “The removal will be done faster,” confirmed Macías.
