Involcan rules out magmatic intrusion in the new Cumbre Vieja ‘seismic swarm’

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 25. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The Canarian seismic network, managed by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan), has detected a new ‘seismic swarm’ in the area of ​​Cumbre Vieja, in La Palma, with more than 60 seismic events located at depths between 10 and 13 km.

However, from Involcan they assure in a note that these long-term earthquakes do not reflect a process of magmatic intrusion but of the release of hydrothermal fluids caused by the cooling of the magmatic reservoir.
