SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Dec. 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The National Geographic Institute has located 14 earthquakes since last midnight on La Palma, the most prominent one of magnitude 3.5 in Fuencaliente, intensity III, at a depth of 14 kilometers and at 08:23 hours.
According to the latest report from the Department of National Security, the lava from Cumbre Vieja continues due to the new cracks that have arisen in recent days and are affecting new areas of homes in an already evacuated area.
The affected area is estimated at 1,155 hectares with a maximum width of 3,350 meters, and the total extension of the lava deltas is maintained at 48.03 hectares.
In addition, the decrease in the number of intermediate earthquakes continues and the deep seismicity remains at low values, as well as the tremor that continues at medium-low values, with greater stability.
Regarding the air quality due to sulfur dioxide (SO2), this Sunday the levels remained between reasonably good and regular in almost all the stations of the island.
Regarding the meteorological scenario, it is expected that the orientation of the ash plume and SO2 will continue to be towards the west-southwest from the eruptive focus, so the expected arrangement of the ash cloud represents a favorable scenario for aeronautical operations.
