La Palma African Eruption

Throughout October so far, the Island of La Palma had a continuous volcanic eruption. The whole island is like a giant volcano. The Eruption spurted out a river of Lava that went from the centre of the island to the ocean;
It was during the October eruption of La Palma that I learnt that the Canary Islands are actually on the African continent. They are Spanish islands that are part of the African continent.
I always thought that the Canary Islands were in the Mediterranean sea and part of Europe. I was wrong, they are in the Atlantic Ocean and are a part of the African Continent. Perhaps other Brits are also ignorant about the location of the Canary Islands. I could say, "Have you been to Tenerife"? The guy would say "Yes". Then I would ask if they have been to Africa and they would say "No" and I would Say "Tenerife is on the African continent along with La Palma and all the other Canary Islands". They would say "No it isn't, it's in the Mediterranean Sea next to Spain". I would say "Dude you're wrong". They are Spanish islands on the African continent in the Atlantic Ocean. This means the La Palma Eruption is an African Eruption, I think the African continent is trying to pull itself apart and give birth to a new Sea in the centre or something like that.
