SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 12. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Canarian Seismic Network operated by the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan) detected a new ‘seismic swarm’ located below Mount Teide with up to 350 events of very low magnitude since shortly before 06:00 on Tuesday.
From Involcan they point out in a note that this ‘swarm’ has characteristics very similar to those that were registered in Tenerife on October 2, 2016, June 14, 2019 and June 10.
Thus, it indicates that “the most likely origin is the movement of fluids such as steam, gas or water, inside the hydrothermal system of the Teide volcano” while specifying that “it does not imply a greater probability of an eruption, but it does recall that Tenerife is still a volcanically active island.”
