Topic: Therasia


  
  The Tsunami Generated from the Eruption of the Volcano of Santorin in the Bronze Age - Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis
Apparently, one or more lateral blast episodes and a mass edifice failure obliterated Santorin's northwest flank and created the opening which presently separates the island of Thera from Therasia.
Additional blast episodes and flank failures enlarged the southwest opening of the PreMinoan caldera between what became Therasia Island and the small island of Aspronisi.
During this paroxysmal fourth phase there was further massive collapses of the PreMinoan caldera and a total engulfement of any remaining volcanic cone to the north.

 Concerning the Names Teresa, Theresa, Tracy, and Treasa
The name Teresa was confined to the Iberian peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) until the late 16th century, when it spread in the wake of the veneration of Saint Teresa of Avila.
Teresa is probably originally derived from a Greek locative Therasios, Therasia 'inhabitant of Thera'.
The first known bearer is the Greek Therasia, wife of St. Paul of Nola, who lived around the 4th or 5th century A.D. The use of Teresa is attested in the Christian kingdoms of the Iberian peninsula beginning in the 11th century and continuing throughout the middle ages.

 santorini
A series of warning earthquakes must have been alarming enough and early enough before the eruption for all the residents to pack up and move out, as not a single body has been found at the Akrotiri site.
Before the Minoan eruption, the caldera formed a nearly continuous ring with the only entrance between the tiny island of Aspronisi and Thera.
The eruption destroyed the sections of the ring between Aspronisi and Therasia, and between Therasia and Thera, creating two new channels.
