Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2021

The islanders are asking what this is.

I am no expert but looks like mercury to me.

La Palma registers 30 earthquakes in the last hours, one of 4.6
Mazo is, at the moment, the town where the largest earthquakes have been recorded since the volcano's eruption began.


This Earthquake in Mazo, which has repeated in intensity another registered in the same town on Saturday 16, has been felt by the population and has taken place at a depth of 36 kilometers.

The rest of the earthquakes registered this morning in La Palma have oscillated between 4.1 degrees and 2.3 degrees.

Mazo is, for the moment, the town where the largest earthquakes have been recorded since the volcano eruption began: the two of 4.6 -that on Saturday and the one today- and others of 4.5 degrees recorded the last week.

The lava continues its advance to the sea where it could arrive this morning
If the supply of material is maintained on the casting, it will create a new strip in the northern area of ​​El Perdido, about 300 meters from the low island that has already been created and that occupies about 35 hectares. Binter will decide tomorrow morning whether to resume operations based on conditions


The lava continues to walk at this time, at a speed of around 20 meters per hour, towards the sea, crossing areas of banana trees. According to the estimates of the experts, it could reach the sea this morning, although it all depends on the material that it finds in its path, the orography and the food it receives from the crater.

According to the current trajectory, it is expected to enter the sea in the northern area of ​​El Perdido, about 300 meters from the strip that has already been created and that continues to grow although at a very low speed. Right now it occupies an area of ​​about 35 hectares. Experts believe that the lava flow that is about to touch the Atlantic may form a new lava delta.

The technical director of the Prevention Plan for Volcanic Risk (Pevolta), Miguel Ángel Morcuende, indicated today that, in the event that the lava enters the sea, the confinement of nearby populations will be ordered from the emanation of gases such as hydrochloric acid that is produced by thermal shock, when the lava, which is at 1,270 degrees, comes into contact with the sea, at about 20 degrees. This situation already occurred on September 28 when the lava entered the sea for the first time and was confined to four neighborhoods in Tazacorte.

On its way to the sea, the lava, in addition to respecting the La Laguna neighborhood for now, has set aside, some 300 meters away, the Tazacorte cemetery. The neighbors feared that the lava would bury their dead a second time and destroy this cemetery and the memory of their deceased.

Binter, for its part, maintains the schedule of its flights for tomorrow and will decide first thing in the morning whether to resume operations or not, depending on the location of the ash cloud. Today he canceled all his flights at La Palma airport.

Tremor is still up and there have been constant earthquakes this morning again.

They recommend staying indoors due to poor air quality in El Paso
Pevolca points out that "unfavorable Weather conditions for air quality due to haze intrusion" for today and tomorrow, between 2:00 and 9:00 pm ·.

Scientists from the Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan (Pevolca) recommend that people stay indoors due to poor air quality due to the intrusion of haze in certain areas of El Paso, on La Palma.

The Security and Emergencies area of ​​the Government of the Canary Islands carries out this advice on its social networks in the face of "unfavorable Weather conditions for air quality due to the intrusion of haze" for today and tomorrow, between 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

The areas affected by this recommendation are those that are located within the perimeter of these streets in the municipality of El Paso: Benehauno towards Camino de Taburiente, crossing the Fuente road, Gámez road, San BNicolás crossing, Tacande road, La Julioana road and Piedras Blancas and I walk Las Moraditas.

Likewise, the area of ​​the Caldera de Taburiente interpretation center, Virgen del Pino and Valencia streets, San Martín de Porres hermitage, Rincón ravine, La Montañita, north of the cemetery through Tenisca ravine and Sombrero de Pico street are affected. In case you have to go out, they recommend the use of a FFP2 mask.

18/10/2021 15:45 h Canary Islands.- LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- WHITE COLOR ROCKS - WHITE PUMITAS OR RIOLITAS.- FOLLOW THE ERUPTION AND WARM. White stones appearing is not good news, because in principle there are two candidates. The first had him controlled, as in the eruption of El Hierro, are Xenolitos or stones that magma rips from the walls of the conduit as he crossed the island to leave, look like sedimentary materials from the island's base, very old.

Other Xenolithos that sometimes come out in the lavas as in Timanfaya in Lanzarote are peridotites, and remains of Basal Jurassic limestones. Peridotites are mainly composed of very beautiful green olivine if it is unchanged, brown if it is altered and usually accompanied by clinopyroxenes and orthopyroxiesn, these minerals come from the top of the mantle and have a high density of 3,3 g / cm3, so it's not easy to get to the surface, but it's because of the magnitude of ascension and viscosity of magma..

But what's in the photos today, I think it's not that, I think they're white pummies (solidified lava foam), which are formed by an interaction of the magma with groundwater of the island's aquifers as lower pressure (low deformation or pressure and water enters) or better known as phreatomagmatic interactions, as in the curve of the ′′ Cake ′′ in Tenerife, where there are several layers alternated by interaction with the aquifer... We'll see what the samples say about it. More of the cake in the wikipedia.

EARTHQUAKES AND SISMIC ENERGY

Follow the high seismicity and rising, IGN reduces its magnitude for dark interests, this is a disgrace, someone will end up like those on the Castor platform in jail. The two most important from last night.

SYSMIC ENERGY
Yesterday already commented that the energy does not go down, it seems that it is more and more clear, with fewer seismic Events of average intensity, to concentrate all energy in a unique Events stronger, releasing all the energy in a blow, this already saw in El Hierro, we reached the final part...

Now we could have the worst earthquakes for being the most intense of the swarm until it breaks, and that if it hasn't already broken, because we must highlight a powerful swarm that has been seen from the Gomera tonight between 4:05 and 04:30 h.. so more magma is on its way from those depths.

DEFORMATION
It follows down, which is good, although seeing the tremor, it uploads more material from below as it is known to go best through the existing conduit.

Video: River of lava as it passes through Tacande

Imposing aspect of the eruption at 8:50 p.m. in the Tacande area as shown in the video published by Involcan on Monday night.

The different lava flows that advance down the slope from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary island of La Palma have entered a phase of «stability and slowness», even the one that until now was showing more active and that is to just 160 meters from the sea.

Researchers' estimates in the area indicate that due to the flow and speed of this stream, of just 2 meters per hour, an imminent arrival at sea at night is not foreseeable.

There are 763.32 hectares affected, 20 more than yesterday, of which 228.9 correspond to cultivated areas (128.07 of banana trees; 52.02 vineyards and 16.9 avocados). In addition, there are 1,956 buildings destroyed and 61 at risk.
