Pedro Martin, President of the Council of Tenerifewill meet tomorrow with various city councils on the Island in order to coordinate to reinforce the systems of volcanic surveillance in Tenerife.
It will be tomorrow, Wednesday, July 20, at 4:00 p.m., in a meeting that will also be attended by the island director of Security, Rubén Fernández, and the scientific coordinator of the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (INVOLCAN), Nemesio Pérez.
Last June, the National Geographic Institute (IGN) and the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan) have recorded a seismic swarm of hybrid events of very low magnitude in the Cañadas del Teide, southwest of Pico Viejo, in which 458 events have finally been detected, of those that 13 have greater magnitude.
Around 300 were located in a time interval of 2 hours and 20 minutes and this Thursday there was also seismicity in the same area with five earthquakes detected.
The maximum magnitude that has been reached is 1.6 and at a depth of 13 kilometers.
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.
