2021 islands canary volcanic activity

Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2021
Latest update courtesy of Enrique.

16:15 17/10/2021 h Canary Islands.- LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION. NORTH COLADA 9 C AT 200 M OCEANO-THE 10 C STOPS AND A NEW ARM APPEARS BY THE HIGHEST AREA OF THE POLIGON.- First thing is the fastest going flow, the fastest going, the one heading to the ocean, the 9 C, which has developed 3 arms, and one of them, the northmost is the one that has traveled about 450 m from yesterday's position and goes firm to the meeting of the water of the sea, arriving surely tonight at the cliff. She's taking some beautiful banana fields, sorry, with what I like.

As for the north flow, the truth is that there is good news, the 10 A and 10 B have stopped and the 10 C that yesterday advanced a lot has almost stopped moving forward only a few dozens of meters .. On the other hand the 9 C laundry at the height of where the SPAR supermarket was has expanded another little laterally northbound a few meters, but in all these fortunately lowers the destruction and there are only a couple of affected buildings, not like others days that have been dozens and hundreds.

But at the top of the polygon there is news, yesterday I was warning of a series of overflows in the highest part and this morning an arm progresses with quite activity in that area, which I named as 10 D flow.

LOW TREMOR, LOW DEFORMATION, LOW GASES AND LAVA EMISSION RATE TOO. Everything seems to indicate that the thing is starting to calm down after so many surprises and seismicity should be doing the same for the next few days, hopefully the beginning of the end of the eruption, finally hopeful news.

I keep editing the post. (Enrique)

But don't trust yourself much, according to the seismic energy released accumulated we're in the maximum zone and nothing I do, it will be fat, as it has dropped a lot of energy these past few days. The graphics doesn't flatten, nor does it mark a trend change as it should get more horizontal, it keeps rising an egg growing uphill, now it has to do is lose slope if we want to regain normalcy...

Every once in a while keeps shooting some fatter ones...

The eruption has been going crazy this evening and still is now . It looks like the cone wall could collapse and there is talk new vents are opening up behind.

Yep, I've been watching as well - it's really angry tonight! Fascinating and fearsome.

From Volcanes y Ciencia Hoy

Mike Socal
′′ MENUDA NIGHT ′′

Good morning to say something, have us from 00:00 to 6 in the morning a big seismic swarm, dozens and dozens of unidentified movements. Long-term and Low-frequency movements can be found amongst the localities. On the other hand, they are seen in spectrum as hydromagmatic explosions originated inside the volcano itself, due to the reaction of water with internal aquifers of it. Highlight hybrid and precursor movements anticipating that 5.1-in-turn move down to 4.5-and don't bring it down anymore because they can't be afraid of the Central Government. Since if they exceed more than a certain magnitude, move the competition to GOB Central. Claim those houses aren't ready enough for the impact of volcanic movements. They have nothing to do with volcanic movements with teluric, the VT movements are from the bottom up and most by not, to say all are superficial, and can generate cracks in facades and some due to their seniority, and after several movements of magnitude 5 don't hold on much longer. I don't care who rebounds it to me, you're not a step 7 steps behind and that will cause major damage (MIK3)

POSDATA: It would be nice if you start watching those cracks, report it.

https://www.abc.es/espana/canarias/abci-...ticia.html

A few years ago they took us half seriously as ABC: And when I explained in several post that low-frequency movements speak volumes everything is in knowing how to interpret them.
Low frequency waves
More than 90 percent of eruptions in inactive volcanoes are preceded by high-degree volcanic-tectonic earthquakes (of magnitude 3 or more) in nearby failures, but not by virtue of volcanoes. It's the conclusion of a research by Randall White of the United States Geological Service (USGS), presented at the American Society of Seismology's 2016 annual meeting.

Other waves of low-frequency seismic activity occur when the magma is introduced into the rock and interacts with the different parts of the Earth's crust, according to White's results, from analysis of more than 35 eruptions of 24 volcanoes inactive for the past 20 years.

What a year enrique... but very proud to be by your side.

Last night two strong earthquakes.


4.1 mbLg SW VILLA DE MAZO.ILP 2021/10/18 01:40:35 III-IV 38

4.6 mbLg SW VILLA DE MAZO.ILP 2021/10/17 23:57:36 IV 36

I think Mike is saying the Earthquake was more powerful when it was picked up on graph on Tenerife and La Gomera .

CCAN :TENERIFE
Wave of 4.5 and doubtful... because by phases mark 5.1 (MIK3)




Islanders are reporting cracks are appearing on walls.

Emmanuel Goldstein

Dónde puedo encontrar información sobre instrucciones para reportar daños de terremoto para cuando sobrepasa los 4.5 magnitud? ¿Hay algo en la web del Ayuntamiento?

Where can I find information on instructions for reporting Earthquake damage for when it's over 4.5 magnitude? Is there something on the Town Hall website?
