The strange alignment in the Canary Islands of earthquakes such as the volcanic eruption of 1430
Surges of low frequency seismic activity occur when magma enters the rock and interacts with different parts of the earth's crust, according to the United States Geological Survey.


https://www.abc.es/media/espana/2019/05/...49@abc.jpg

"The existence of certain earthquakes in the Canary Islands has generated a phenomenon that has caught the attention of experts this spring. This is the alignment of a series of movements similar to what could have been the prelude to a volcanic eruption in the year 1430, that is, prior to the Conquest of the islands in the area of La Orotava.

There is another detail that has not been usual. Two earthquakes have been felt and recorded in Arona, south of Tenerife, at a depth of 8,400 meters 8,800 meters. Also aligned with the volcanic explosion of 1430 , which lasted about 30 days. Canary Islands is with green signal of possibility of volcanic risk.

The oral tradition indicates that in 1430 there was a volcanic eruption in the coastal strip of the Valley of La Orotava. But the geological formation of the area has been studied.

The group of unofficial experts that operate under the name of "Volcanoes and Science Today" indicates that this May there is, among other things, a remarkable thing in Tenerife: "it follows the anomalous activity in the area of the South Dorsal with a Earthquake of magnitude 1.5 at a depth of 7.7 and some more yesterday and before yesterday. " «The alignment of these last earthquakes according to a north-south direction that goes through Pico Viejo and Guajara and some cones of the south ridge indicating that this ridge is suffering enough efforts, affecting both places of activity and that will have to be followed in detail» .

The swarm has been reported in diariodeavisos.elespanol.com.

"The Involcan records a seismic swarm between Tenerife and Gran Canaria
From the Involcan note that earthquakes are placed in what is currently the area of ​​greatest seismic activity in the Canary Islands

EUROPA PRESS 06/05/2019 · UPDATED 16:27


The Involcan records a seismic swarm between Tenerife and Gran Canaria. | EUROPE PRESS
The Seismic Network of the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands has registered a small seismic swarm located between the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria and occurred between 02.16 and 09.35 hours, a time interval in which up to twelve earthquakes have been registered with a maximum magnitude of 2.0, as reported by Involcan on its official Facebook page.

From the Involcan indicate that earthquakes are placed in what is currently the area of ​​greatest seismic activity in the Canary Islands and add that the seismicity located between Tenerife and Gran Canaria is related to one or more tectonic faults.

The Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands has indicated that the interest for this swarm is "purely of a scientific nature, not involving any variation in the volcanic and seismic risk in Tenerife in the short, medium and long term".

"Earthquake sense in el hierro, Canary Islands, Spain.- and a while ago, there has been an important Earthquake of preliminary magnitude of 3.7 according to the ign and located north of the island of el hierro that has been felt at border and Other areas, and it is that this Earthquake has been at little depth, ONLY 5 km. So I repeat what I said before, there are many efforts in the canary islands these days of maximum in the forces forces. (Enrique).

This update by Enrique was posted 2 hours before the 3.7 Earthquake El Hierro.

Translated.

"Seismic Swarm in progress in the area of the middle volcano. Seismicity on the island of el hierro, in the northwest dorsal and center of the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.- the most stands out is a seismic swarm in progress about 10 km south of the area of the volcano in the middle From this midnight to about 30 km of depth with half a dozen localized earthquakes that have up to magnitude 2.1 at the moment, although you see many more in the seismograms and spectrograms of Maci, in eoso you don't see anything of anything.. And should be seen.

Also noteworthy is the activity of earthquakes on the Isla del Hierro, in the eyes of the profane, but notice the high depths of the Events and that these are not grouped in a swarm, indicating regional efforts clearly, being the largest of them in the zone where was the 5.1 to where the magma went, with which I do not worry the least.

On the other hand the activity within Tenerife continues, with some earthquakes in the northwest ridge, which indicate the efforts on the island and the response of the area of ​​the magmatic phonology camera in the center, in the caldera and of course related to the activity of the middle volcano with which these Events are aligned in the form of microseismicity.

Highlight an Earthquake of 0.6 in the Teide hydrothermal system on 03/05/2019 at a depth of 3.1 km indicating the same, a lot of pressure and regional tensions in the area. (Enrique)"

Comments on the Volcanes y Ciencia Hoy - Volcanoes and Science Today page say USGS has the Earthquake as a 4.2 (not 3.7).

Translated.

Damien Luis Green
Damien Luis Green Is there any sense tremor in Tenerife?

Mike Socal
Mike Socal According to the usgs marks it as 4.2 Enrique could you see the phases?

Mike Socal
Mike Socal This activity could be due to the activity of Tenerife.

Mike Socal
Mike Socal That's not a 3.7 or fed up with whiskey I put the seismogram by the usgs!
