The volcanic surveillance network of 24-hour monitoring of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has located a total of nine earthquakes in the vicinity of the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption during the night, three of them with magnitudes greater than 3 (mbLg).
The maximum magnitude recorded was 3.5 (mbLg) corresponding to the earthquake located northeast of the municipality of Fuencaliente at 04.16 hours. Most of the earthquakes were located between 11-14 km deep in the area where the swarm began on September 1.
This Saturday, about fifty earthquakes have been located, the largest of 3.6 mbLg, felt with intensity III EMS in numerous nuclei of Los Llanos, El Paso, Breña Alta, Tazacorte, Villa de Mazo, Tijarafe, Breña Baja and Santa Cruz de La Palma
Seismicity continues to be located, mainly, close to the seismicity of the first days, at depths between 10 and 15 km. Earthquakes are also recorded at depths greater than 20 kilometers.
Felt earthquakes may occur that could cause small landslides in sloping areas. High-frequency tremor is recorded at some seismic stations near the lava delta.
Deformations show, in the stations far from the eruptive center, a slight downward trend in the vertical component. The nearby stations show pulses possibly related to the eruptive dynamics.
