These seismic-volcanic movements have been recorded intermittently. The first pulse, detected at 05:14 yesterday, was brief and located 16 earthquakes at depths between 8 and 17 kilometers, with very low magnitudes (between 0.6 and 1 mbLg).
Subsequently, activity resumed in the afternoon and continued through the night, with the IGN's automatic detection system capturing an additional 63 seismic events. Of these, analysts have been able to cartographically locate 14, situated at depths between 8 and 15 kilometers and with magnitudes ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 mbLg.
Most of the hypocenters are located in the western sector of Las Cañadas, a common area for such processes. In parallel, an isolated micro-seism was detected in Icod de los Vinos, with a magnitude of 0.3 mbLg and at only 2 kilometers deep.
IGN scientists have issued a message of calm, clarifying that this increase is similar to series recorded in February and March, although with less energy this time. These are low-frequency hybrid events that have not been perceived by the population.
The IGN has reiterated that this type of seismic-volcanic activity is within the normal range for a geologically active island and does not increase the risk of a volcanic eruption in the short or medium term. The state volcanic surveillance network maintains continuous monitoring in Tenerife with over 100 measurement stations.
