: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.:
