El Hierro recorded 28 earthquakes so far of day The recorded earthquakes ranging from 1.9 and 2.6 magnitude on the Richter scale
18.03.2013 | 18:51 EP volcano monitoring network monitoring 24 hours a National Geographic Institute (IGN) has recorded on the island of El Hierro on Monday a total of 28 earthquakes of between 1.9 and 2.6 magnitude on the Richter scale, although none felt by population.
The largest of the quakes, which struck at 14.29 pm, had a magnitude of 2.6 degrees, and occurred west of the town of Frontera, on land, 20 kilometers deep.
At 14.42 hours was 1.9 degrees recorded one of just two miles deep northwest of Frontera. The other earthquakes occurred mainly northwest of town, and one southwest of El Pinar.
On Sunday there were three earthquakes, the largest of 3.8 degrees west of Frontera, on land, at a depth of 13 kilometers.
Is this the volcano which could cause a monster landslide into the Atlantic?
Nope...but let’s put it this way there are some who believe that this island’s volcano did cause the largest tsunami on the east coast of the USA...
The volcanoes of tenerife and le palma are thought to be the culprits primarily Le Palma.
However the link I provided to Maine’s tsunami outlook page will present to you that there is enough evidence to suggest anything larger than a 3 meter tsunami is just unrealistic.
Is that better Strat?.....lol
Sumpin wrong with folks living on a mountain with molten lava flowing from underneath it!
hey bud..
I could think of no better place to be....lol
lol, I would love to visit, but a peaceful night’s sleep might be another matter.
yeah could you imagine their level of awareness but be totally strained by now....
I heard Iceland had a few rumblin’s yesterday as well.
fyi....from the canaries institute...!
The latest data received from the GPS station of the geodetic network installed in Frontera, El Hierro, Canary shows that the tendency to swelling of the island is confirmed. In the graph you can see expanded the arrow pointing the latest data, as you can see, already beginning to scale, established at a time when 12 cm. (Translated by Bing)
Most of the current activity seems to have migrated to North of the island.
yeah seems par for the course....but what is interesting is not a lot of tremor. I noticed a few on webicorder but this for sure is new magma coming up through.
Do you have a link to the canaries institute? It would be interesting to see where the expansion is taking place in relation to the tremors.
They posted on their Facebook page...
