SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 17 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Canarian Seismic Network operated by the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan) has registered a ‘swarm’ of hybrid events of very low magnitude under Teide in which at least 300 seismic events have been detected in a time interval of 2 hours and 20 minutes during the early hours of this Friday.
This ‘seismic swarm’ has characteristics very similar to those recorded on October 2, 2016 and June 14, 2019 and the most likely origin is the movement of fluids such as steam, gas or water inside the hydrothermal system of the volcano.
This ‘swarm’, they specify from Involcan, does not imply a greater probability of an eruption in the short or medium term but “remembers that Tenerife is still a volcanically active island”.
