Experts predict Mediterranean tsunami with 100% probability

There is a 100% chance of a tsunami, of at least 1 metre in height, occurring in the Mediterranean, in the next 30-50 years.

According to the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO*, a tsunami measuring over 1 meter (3.2 feet) will hit the Mediterranean in the next 30 years. The danger zone is reported to be the Averroes fault, beneath the Alboran Sea, which is halfway between Spain's Málaga coast and North Africa.
Experts say an earthquake beneath the Alboran Sea could cause six-meter (19-feet) waves, which could reach Spain in just 21 minutes. It's estimated that coastal residents would have 35 minutes to flee inland.

The Ocean Decade Tsunami Programme (ODTP) is a pioneering initiative by UNESCO-IOC to strengthen tsunami safety around the world by bringing together governments, warning systems, and coastal communities through coordination of information and educational activities.
