Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2020
Since the magnitude 3.0 Earthquake on the 13th July El Hierro there has been a further 10 earthquakes roughly in the same area .

If you click on and enlarge the link below for El Hierro you can clearly see the cluster.

There has been a strong magnitude 4.0 Earthquake North west of Tenerife its been felt on most of the island.

A micro swarm could possibly be starting.

:How strong was yesterday's Earthquake? Thanks to the 18 permanent seismic seismic stations that have the Canarian Seismic Network in Tenerife, it has been possible to quantify the seismic shake generated by the 3,5 magnitude Earthquake located yesterday July 16, 2020, in the surrounding Buenavista del Norte at a depth of 23 km.

PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) is the most frequently used parameter. The map shows the PGA measured by each season and expressed as a percentage of gravitational field intensity (9.81 m / s2). The maximum value observed by this Earthquake has been 0.44 % g, by a localized seismic station in Guide of Isora and corresponding approximately to a macrosismic intensity (Mercalli scale) of III.

Normally the PGA would have to decrease regularly from a maximum location near the Earthquake epicenter. However local seismic amplification effects, due to the most superficial geological characteristics, may cause an increase in this value in some places. For this reason since last year, INVOLCAN is carrying out TFsismozon, carrying out seismic noise measures to determine seismic amplification in the urban areas of Tenerife. A complete and detailed map of the urban town of La Laguna and its surroundings is already available today, and the map of detail is materializing for urban areas in the Valley of La Orotava. This research is being possible thanks to the TFvolcano project that finances the Tenerife Innova program of Cabildo Insular de Tenerife.:

''SYMICAL ACTIVITY IN TENERIFE AND THE IRON-17/07/2020-Regional efforts of these last days are noted above all in all these two islands, the first for the Earthquake that has been felt throughout the island yesterday at sunset in the NE bib and then west of the iron in the west bib we've been a few these days, it gets interesting with this new activity. I leave you a small scheme with the Mercedes star structure of both islands.. (Enrique)''

Very interesting article about Volcano Tagoro El Hierro.

Will need to be translated.
