Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2022
Translated

654. - 15/09/2020 - 18:30h Canary Islands. - DEEP SEISMIC SWARM IN THE VOLCANO AREA BETWEEN TENERIFE AND GRAN CANARIA. - The regional efforts caused by the separation and opening of the Atlantic dorsal continue to affect the Canary Archipelago and this can be seen in the most sensitive areas such as the Enmedio Volcano. The earthquakes also align themselves on main axles to perfectly form a Mercedes cross with 120° directions indicating that the system is pressing or pushing from below.

That the ground density model that uses the IGN for calculating the position and depth of earthquakes is more than improveable, that's for sure, and is seen with an excessive allocated depth in my opinion, which we have already seen on other islands like the Iron, La Palma and Tenerife, and that's why they put more density on it than it really has, which gives these kinds of situations, they could already check it wood, they've been with it for hundreds of years.

In tonight's swarm 8 main Events have been located, 7 of them very close to each other with magnitudes between 2.6 and 1.9 and depths between 31 and 40 km.

El Hierrio:

On this island it is important to note that we have had an Earthquake in the western part of the Island.

LA PALMA:

Suddenly no more Events are located, and it's strange that seismograms are still seeing several of small magnitude like other days.
The rest of things remain the same as yesterday, releasing a lot of gas down the cone, mainly vapor, although they are sometimes seen of other colors, teal and yellow, even gray, as well as it follows the noise of crashing and trembling in the silence of the night with people who feel punches. We'll see what he does these next few days.

As for yesterday's swarm, they've put the main event in the early morning of a magnitude 2 under the summit area.

The deformation in GPS stations is inconclusive, but you can see lifts today in LP03 and yesterday in LP04 that today seems to return to its previous state, we will have to wait tomorrow to see what happens with both. The measures are very dispersed these days because of atmospheric variations.
Energy hits another small high with yesterday's 2 and we continue to climb the chart with steady pace, indicating an ongoing process.

REMEMBERING THE PREVIOUS ERUPTION:

As for the anniversary of the Palma, things were already getting ugly with more than 3000 movements registered and more than 900 located and the Events felt of 3 and more began. I leave you last year's post 411 to remind you from this same space. Greetings. (Rich)

PD: More regional efforts, a deep Earthquake of magnitude 3.2 occurred a while ago in the area of the Chinijo archipelago, north of Lanzarote, a curious place. The epicenter is located about 7 km west of Alegranza Island, where not many Events are located. (Enrique)

20/09/2020 - 18:45h Canary Islands. - ACTIVITY IN THE PALM. - ANOTHER SWARM 9-17 KM DEEP LAST NIGHT. - THE VOLCANO IS ON ITS WAY. - I don't care what one or the other say, but one thing is clear, a process is underway and it's happening on the island of Palma. This process, although it has stopped somewhat in recent days, involves a movement of magma that is generating a low-magnitude seismicity, but that is noticeable by the population. A dozen Events have been located in the area tonight, some a little deeper than other days:

And to the north follows the Earthquake with 1 event about 2 km, possibly related to gases and cooling of the volcano and the coladas area. 3 days ago plus there was another at this depth.

DEFORMATION:
And not just seismicity, the deformation is indicating magma movement in depth, with changes in the ground beginning to be significant.
LP02 stations show a settled deformation of lift of 1 - 1.5 centimeters for about 5 days, which does not appear to be a sensor error. On the horizon, in turn, a shift in trend for a few days, suggesting that something is changing.

http://www.ign.es/.../volcano.../GPS/jpg...02_90d.png

As for LP03, it marks the highest deformation value in recent months, although it has a lot of dispersion, what is clear seems to also point to inflammation at the moment of about 2 cm or more above the mean, but that will have to be confirmed air for the next few days.

http://www.ign.es/.../volcano.../GPS/jpg...03_90d.png

SEISMIC ENERGY:

The process that is happening at 9-13km deep in the Palma has decreased its seismic energy release rate, i.e. it does not release as much energy as previous days, it seems to be stopping, which does not mean it is over.

https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/la-palm...6KQ_rIy14A


If we look at the accumulated total, it looks like we've gone from a rate of about 25-30KWh/day to 10-12kWh/day in the past 10 days, which practically matches the changes in GPS stations. They are NOT pre-eruptive symptoms, as it is very little energy and deformation, but they do indicate an ongoing process.

LA PALMA A YEAR AGO - After the first eruption day, surprises began and a new mouth opened on the evening of the 20th by which a lot of lava started coming out between the houses, it was impressive. Post 439.

Post 440: Monogenic Cone Development.

https://www.facebook.com/VolcanesyCienci...2186480411

When I saw the images of Hawaii, with an eruption between homes in 2018, these were cheaper being in a high risk area it took over 700 homes, I thought if it will happen in the Canary Islands, it would be horrible since there is no such delimitation by areas and what in a populated area they would take everything ahead, little did I expect that in 2021 would happen.

Hawaii was a warning and the Palma was another warning to sailors of what happens during eruptions. I hope that at least a zoning for volcanic danger comes out in the Canary Islands or something like that, it is needed. People need to know the risk when buying a house, plot, flat or estate from eruptions.

Much encouragement to all and may this memory serve to raise awareness to everyone about volcanic dangers and risk. (Rich)
