Since last Friday, the IGN has detected a new episode of seismic activity in the area, characterized by hybrid events in the form of pulses, with low energy and accompanied by low-frequency signals.
Of the total 131 events, the IGN has manually located 31, with magnitudes ranging between 0.4 and 1.6 mbLg. These tremors occurred at depths between 5 and 18 kilometers.
The first event was recorded on April 3 at 10:47 PM, and the activity has continued intermittently. IGN sources noted that this sequence does not follow the repetitive swarm pattern observed since February, and so far, none of the events have been felt by the population.
This type of activity, composed of hybrid seismic events accompanied by long-period signals (LP events), does not increase the short or medium-term eruption hazard on the island of Tenerife.
The IGN, as the entity responsible for volcanic surveillance in Spain, maintains a network of over 100 stations, equipment, and fixed sampling points in Tenerife. This infrastructure allows for comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of any changes in seismicity, deformations, and geochemistry that could indicate an evolution in volcanic hazard.
Finally, it was pointed out that, due to the low amplitude of the analyzed signals, the data on the number of events and their magnitudes are provisional. It is expected that, after a more detailed analysis, the number of events could increase.
