SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Nov. 14 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Scientists who follow the evolution of the La Palma volcano continue to observe a decrease in the different parameters associated with the eruption (seismicity, amplitude of the tremor, deformation, sulfur dioxide emission levels), which gives the sensation that the system “it has less and less energy.”
The director of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) in the Canary Islands and spokesperson for the Pevolca Scientific Committee, María José Blanco, indicated that although it is true that there is an almost continuous decline in these values, in recent weeks there have been peaks of some observables, such as intermediate seismicity.
Therefore, he reiterated that we must wait for there to be “a downward but maintained trend” of these parameters, because although they are “with a trend either maintained and stable for a long time or downward, this has to be maintained. in the time”.
In the specific case of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, the spokesperson for the Scientific Committee clarified that, although high levels are still being observed, they are lower than on other days, but reiterated that it has to go down “much more” to it can be said that it is a really low level.
