    How about this?
    How about any terrorist just shove it up their ass?

        How pray tell do you suggest the terrorists get the volcano to erupt?

          The destruction isnt caused by the eruption, its caused by an unstable part of the island collapsing into the sea-an eruption could just be one of several catalystzs.

          At the extreme case you could use a nuke to do it, more practically use alot of deep insertion charges.

              I don't think any nuke a terrorist could get will equal the power of an erupting volcano.

                Yes it would, infact the energy released in a nuke is much greater.

                  what if they screw it up and end up acting like avalanche control.

                    Says who? Most of the eruptions I've heard about have the power many times in excess of a nuclear blast though I'm only a geologist.

                    Any way, the Canary Islands are hot spot volcanos much like the Hawaiian Islands. That means they produce a lava which is hotter and generally has a lower silica content (we call this a mafic lava). That means we're more likely to see a slow and steady discharge during an eruption then a big explosive eruption like most subduction powered volcanos have.

                      No it's not. The eruption of Krakatoa in the South China Sea was said to have released more energy than all the nukes possessed by the nuclear powers (at the end of the 1960s).

                        Krakatoa was hardly the best example of a volcanic eruption, the dust from it's blast spanned the entire globe and it was audible many thousands of miles away.

                          Fine, lets' talk about Mount St. Helens -- was that ten thousand Hiroshima bombs, or twenty thousand?

                          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                              Read the date on the link title, it was dismissed as bollocks many moons ago (the exact subject was on a BBC docu and got ripped to shreds)
