: The probability that the Teide erupt today is 0%, he said in an interview with N + 1 David Calvo Fernández, geologist and head of scientific communication and dissemination of Volcanology Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN), discrediting  holders of British tabloid media earlier this month that raised alarms about a possible natural disaster on the Spanish island Tenerife. The expert also ruled out the theory that -another Palma canary island archipelago leave from causing a tsunami that devastates with American shores.

N + 1 : A few days ago, the British tabloid press spoke of seismic hazard on the island of Tenerife; Why this information should ?, Does it fit what really happened?
First, we must make clear that the information published in some British media has neither head nor tail, is nonsense. I do not know what the intention behind this kind of absurd information, although we know that therea certain fondness for sensationalism in some British tabloids. In any case we are or have been close to an eruption, and in fact anyone can see that in the various statements that have been issued, at no time said something similar. It is clear that here has been applied the famous phrase "do not let the truth spoilgood news" is all pure fantasy.

David: Are usual the earthquake-volcanic events in the Canary Islands
is a good question, I think maybe what we should ask is whether hitherto usual locate these events. Until today, the data we have tell us they are not common, but I want to make clear that this does not mean at all that they are a symptom that something will happen. 90 percent of these situations disappear as they appeared, without major complications. :

MultiTiede have reported that the signals on the graph were not earthquakes but caused by lightning storms over the Canary Islands last night.

Translated:

Looking a single spectrogram can be misleading. Keep in mind here that similar signals are in separate islands but at different times indicating non earthquakes (if they were the time difference would be a few seconds). Also it coincides with the thunderstorm. Anyway if there were as many earthquakes they would be located ...

:The fault line between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, a serious threat:

There is a fault between Tenerife and Gran Canaria and is very important. If you stick to its length, could cause earthquakes of 6 degrees on the Richter scale or even more , "he said yesterday DAILY NOTICES Luca D'Auria , a world authority on the subject, which has just assumed the ultimate responsibility for Canaria called Seismic Network. This depends on the Technological Institute of Renewable Energies (ITER) , the Cabildo of Tenerife.

The comments below are only part of the full article the full article can be found on the link below but will need translating.

Translated:

The Italian expert, 41, charged with monitoring between 2003 and 2015, Vesuvius, one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, said in an interview with this newspaper, that "the magnitude of tectonic earthquakes is directly associated with the extension of fractures of the crust, and between the two main islands of the Canary islands is great. "

According to Professor of Geological Engineering at the Complutense University of Madrid, Luis Ignacio González de Vallejo, the fault between Tenerife and Gran Canaria has a length of "at least" 35 kilometers and points out that it is a dimension "considerable ". For this reason, Luca D'Auria warns that major earthquakes in this area have the epicenter in the alteration of the earth's crust. Nemesio Perez, director of the Environment Division of ITER and scientific coordinator Involcan, remember that Canary is located in an area of ​​"intraplate" (low seismicity), "but we know that we have to live with that fracture also , it is related to volcanic activity. " Do not forget that close to the fault lies submerged, known as the volcano in the middle.

MORE THAN 400 'SISMOVOLCÁNICOS EVENTS' IN THE LAST SWARM

D'Auria and Perez yesterday provided significant information that reveals the accuracy of the new equipment installed throughout the island. When the October 2 there was a swarm of small earthquakes around Teide , the National Geographic Institute estimated at 96 in a space of four hours, the first station of the new network in Puerto de la Cruz (the rest was in full assembly phase), recorded more than 400 "sismovolcánicos events."

"We detect seismicity beneath the entire island, not just around Teide is normal in a volcanic area," said D'Auria, who said that the signals indicate fluid movements, "but it must not necessarily be magma, can be gas or water. " In his view, this network is now given the conditions to "hear the silence of volcanoes; we must seize the seismic heard without earthquakes to advance research. " He cited the Teide, "he's asleep."

:In his first statement, made to DAILY WARNINGS, Luca D'Auria defined yesterday the draft of the new seismic network with a very graphic phrase that reflects where you want to set the bar of the investigation. "We aim will hear the silent activity Teide, which is speaking to us and we have no precise instruments to detect what is telling us , " he said. The volcanologist stressed that the aim is to analyze earthquakes of very small magnitude, almost imperceptible, below the zero level of the Richter scale, "minimum events that are hidden between the seismograms (graph records the intensity and duration of an earthquake) and they occur frequently in active volcanic areas such as the Canary Islands ".

Luca D'Auria, who joined the ITER last November 1, referred to the swarm of small earthquakes almost a hundred, none felt by the population detected in the first week of October around Teide. "That means there beneath the volcano fluids that move, but that is very common in volcanic areas; why we need advanced monitoring system that allows us to interpret the results within minutes , "he said. The Italian researcher stressed the importance of creating in Tenerife a "center of excellence" in volcanological monitoring through very precise analysis. " It is essential, again, know in detail the volcano to prepare emergency plans if necessary to activate some extent in the future", but noted that there is currently no cause for alarm.

Nemesio Perez, architect of the project, said the 15 stations are broadband and have the capacity to measure the microseismic negative (below zero). "They are all over the island because the Seismicity affects the whole territory and its surroundings, without forgetting that one of the points of greatest activity is concentrated between Tenerife and Gran Canaria" he said. Perez confirmed that long they have been working with the utmost discretion, it has not detected any particularly relevant fact. "We want to do things right and are dumped in this project will mark a before and after and almost triple the seismographs of the National Geographic Institute on the island of Tenerife" he said

:From now on, volcanoes and subsoil of the Canary Islands will be more guarded. The Technological Institute of Renewable Energies installed on Tenerife the largest network of earthquake detection Canary Islands.

15 seismic stations that monitor maximum precision any volcanic tremor. scientists, although records are correct, the current seismic activity is more intense to say 10 years ago.

Listen to what they tell us volcanoes. To understand and decipher the activity generated under our soil. That the 15 stations are being installed in Tenerife Any volcanic tremor is now recorded with maximum precision deal. International experts studying the activity of Vesuvius, the most dangerous volcano in the world, have moved to study the Teide.

According to scientists seismic activity is within normal parameters. But something has changed in recent years.

The changes such as volcanic seismic crisis in Tenerife in 2004 2005, the eruption of El Hierro in 2011 and this latest earthquake swarm October in Tenerife. These stations can also detect the seismicity of the other islands.

Also it may investigate the subsurface geothermal energy, ie, whether the internal heat of volcanoes can be harnessed to produce electricity.:

is it always as active as this around the islands ? or is this an unusual sequence. Seems to have been going on a long time even if all relatively small

[jand]

I am not an expert at all just someone interested and following the activity in the Canary Islands but it seems since 2011 there has been more activity and they have also recently installed 15 new seismic stations on Tenerife because of all the recent activity especially since the recent swarm of over 400 micro earthquakes .

Many people living on the Canary Islands are not aware the islands are Volcanic and are not aware there is still activity I personally thought Teide was an extinct Volcano which is not the case it has been recently said she is only sleeping.

Where this all will lead if anything don't think anyone knows but it's surely better to be prepared just in case.

[jand]

Good news for the Canary Islands looks like the powers that be now realise that the activity around the islands needs monitoring .

Translated:

Little or no coordination between the various scientific bodies studying volcanic phenomena in the Canary Islands has shown on several occasions. The last, in the swarm of microearthquakes that last October the devices which not the inhabitants of the island noted in the southwest of Tenerife. Hence the Canary Islands Government yesterday reported that 2017 has allocated 200,000 euros a game with which to create a body to serve as a "nexus" between the various agencies, whether state or regional level.

Announced the Minister of Territorial Policy, Sustainability and Security, Lady Barreto Nieves (Canary Coalition), during his presentation, in committee, their budgets for next year counseling. He gave few details on the fate of this game, but said the goal is " to coordinate agencies volcanic risk" with a body " will start functioning from this year" and with which the Canarian government wants to "coordinate government policies and regional, ie to establish a link "between all to comply with the provisions of the Emergency Plan for Volcanic Risk in Canary Islands (Pevolca). In memory of the bill is specified as a body that created the Directorate General of Security and Emergency with a scientific, to "materialize the cooperation of organizations and constituent institutions of the Scientific Committee on Assessment and Monitoring of Volcanic Phenomena" plan.
in that report highlights that "Canarias is the only volcanically active region" in Spain and the Pevolca "guarantees a quick, effective and coordinated response" in the case of an eruption, " to minimize potential damage" the population and property, in a territory "limited and largely populated".

Therefore, the regional government aims to "promote the most appropriate for their support and integration into the Pevolca organizational framework" in order to "establish a system and procedures for reporting and monitoring" of this risk from the point of view of protection civil.

During the parliamentary committee, the palm deputy CC-PNC Guadalupe Gonzalez Tano applauded the departure of 200,000 euros planned and urged that "information disclosure" about volcanic phenomena is "accurate and do things properly" to avoid falling into unjustified alarmism.

Gonzalez claimed Taño for Canaries archipelago are located in the main centers of state volcanological study provided funding, as said, in Hawaii, another island affected by these phenomena, in the case of the United States.
