islands canary volcanic activity earthquake

Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2019
The swarm is still continuing .

In all my years of watching the activity don't think I have ever seen so much activity concentrated around Tenerife and Volcano Enmedio.

Someone on the internet has just posted that since all the activity around Volcano Enmedio the earthquakes on Tenerife seems to have stopped and switched to El Hierro ??.

This can clearly be seen on the link below.

Involcan have posted a video with this statement.

Translated.

"Published on 7 May 2019
The Canary Seismic Network has registered a small seismic swarm located between the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. This swarm began at 02:16 on May 6 and continued on day 7. So far, 33 earthquakes with a maximum magnitude of 2.1 have been recorded. Earthquakes are placed in what is now the most seismically active area in the Canary Islands. The seismicity located between Tenerife and Gran Canaria is related to one or more tectonic faults. It should be noted that the interest for this swarm is purely of a scientific nature, not implying any variation in the volcanic and seismic risk in Tenerife in the short, medium and long term."

IMO IGN are not listing the full list of all the earthquakes that are happening I think this swarm is completely different to a normal tetonic swam and somehing is happening.

Earlier this morning I saw a 2.2 Earthquake listed North of La Palma its now disappeared .

Yesterday I looked at the graphs on an hourly basis and there were swarms clearly showing yet only 2 earthquakes were listed by IGN since 07:17.

As an example on this graph between 0600 - 0700 I think its shows at least 6/7 earthquakes (possibly more ) but IGN have only listed one ??.

Someone else has commented about the 2.2 Earthquake I saw earlier this morning that disappeared.

"Otro sismo cerca de La Palma 'atlántico Canarias 2.2 grados 08-05-19. 01:53:38h' que lo mueven a Tenerife menudo cachondeo se tienen esta gente del IGN.. pasa de 2.2 grados cerca de La Palma a 0.2 grados en Tenerife.."

"Another Earthquake near the palma 'Atlantic Canarias 2.2 degrees 08-05-19. 01:53:38 H' that move it to Tenerife often joking these people of the ign.. it goes from 2.2 degrees near LA Palma to 0.2 Degrees in Tenerife.."

I think its incredulous that only one Earthquake has been listed since the 2.4 this morning.

Latest update courtesy of Enrique.

Translated.

"Follow the seismic activity in the volcano in the middle and Tenerife, but they still do not locate many earthquakes, about all the little ones, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.- There are several earthquakes in the spectrogram and an alignment of earthquakes in the last 3 Days in the area between the two capital islands, which have resulted in the seismic swarm of the area of the volcano in the middle that already adds several dozens of earthquakes.

But there are more interesting things, another alignment that goes from teno to the volcano in the middle and beyond that aligns according to the northwest dorsal of Tenerife, passing through the area of the caldera of ucanca and the SW of Pico Viejo, and where it is The Fonolítica Chamber of old beak between 11 and 14 km deep and is appreciated very well with two microdisks in a small swarm this early morning that is weakly appreciated in the seismograph of Maci (Enrique).

The regional pressures of these days are clear that they affect these two alignments what is causing them to respond with seismicity for these regional efforts that are locally affecting both areas, the caldera and the south dorsal. Right now the caldera area is the most interesting (Enrique)."
