 The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has located 25 earthquakes in Tenerife this Saturday morning, of which one had a magnitude of 2 and its epicenter was located 23 kilometers deep in Guía de Isora.

All these seismic movements, except one, had a magnitude greater than 1 and were concentrated in four hours, between 1:00 and 5:00 Canary time.

Their depth ranged between 9 and 26 kilometers.

The IGN had already recorded 458 earthquakes in the early hours of Friday, of which it could barely locate 13 because they had magnitude, as well as another five in the early hours of Thursday.

The fact is that the energy released by the sum of the 458 seismic movements detected on Friday in the Cañadas del Teide, southwest of Pico Viejo, "would reach an earthquake of magnitude 2 or a little more", according to Itahiza Domínguez, seismologist at the IGN, told Efe this Friday.
