This seismic sequence adds to the more than 200 events recorded in Tenerife since last Friday. Most of these earthquakes are low magnitude and associated with the inherent seismic-volcanic activity of a geologically active island.
The latest movement recorded by the National Geographic Institute (IGN) occurred at 04:45:33, with a magnitude of 1.0 and a depth of 19 kilometers.
“"Despite the increase in seismic movements over the weekend, this type of activity is within the normal range for Tenerife and does not increase the risk of a volcanic eruption in the short or medium term."
IGN specialists emphasize that these episodes are common in active volcanic systems like Tenerife's. The periodic low-magnitude seismic swarms do not, by themselves, indicate an evolution towards an eruptive process.
The state volcanic surveillance network continuously monitors the island with over 100 measurement stations. Seismologists meticulously analyze the data to detect any significant changes in activity.
Over the weekend, the Teide area saw notable seismic activity, primarily located beneath central Tenerife and within the National Park. The IGN continues its surveillance without any reported signs of increased volcanic risk.
Experts advise relying on official information and avoiding alarmist interpretations, as these episodes are part of the natural behavior of a volcanic island like Tenerife.
