For other environmental reports, please visit the solar and terrestrial blog on my homepage ------------- FEBRUARY 17- 2015: Magmatic quake activity below El Hierro resumed again after February 11 and is almost equally as it was during the latter half of 2014.  The depth returned again to an average of 11 km below sea level.  Tremors signals  increasesd slightly in all island at the same time, what cane be seen  as a true  indicator, that these quakes are indeed related to a continuing   magma intrusion ( with an unknown intensity) from the hot spot and mantle plume below El Hierro.  On February 17, first time- tremor signals were strongest on  La Gomera. Allthough all that  magma  rises up first through the hot spot near to the South of El Hierro  but with its  mantle plume directly below , tremor signals have the lowest intenisty there -  due to the hot temperature , magma has still around El Hierro   ) Currently however ( see graphics below) tremor signals  are second strongest on El Hierro: El Hierro/ 20150217 La Gomera / 20150217 Teneriffe  / 20150217 Also the quake activity on the fault line between Teneriffe and Gran Canaria  continues with a bit higher rate  than before and occure  still in a  depth between 25 and 30 km: Evento Fecha Hora(GMT)* Latitud  Longitud  Prof. (km) Int.

But there is any kind of seismic activity below Teneriffe. I don`t know what the reason is for: MODVOLC Hawaii issued the following thermal image of the Canaries on 20150211, that shows still presence of hot magma below and between the main islands ( Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera,, El Hierro. This heat signature is less and only  little  on Gran Canaria,and there is none only on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. ----------- ------------------------------

Another two magmatic quakes below El Hierro  and most strangely one in only 1 km depth in the South Of Teneriffe on January 20,   the most shallow since the first activity phase in 2011:, WHat dies it mean=?

The quakes occured in depths higher  than 30 km and 5 quakes  had magnitudes higher than M 2.0. As IGN already remarked earlier, this fault line is known to be active since years and quakes there are rather a result of tectonic movements on a larger scale than directly connected to the activity of the volcanic hotspot below El Hierro. MAGMA INTRUSION AND SUBDUCTION My own opionion is: In general,  global hot spot activities are decreasing now at the same time when  now- since no further solar SEP has occured within the last two month ( and first time since  more than one year) the effects of all previous solar proton storms now seem to come to an end -resp phase III what I call " the final discharge".  This phase III  is when the earth mantle and the tectonic crust  begins to cool down again ( after beeing heated up by the proton storms) , The crust begins to contract and to harden, This and the fact that much magma was globally  pressed upwards  through the hot spots has also led to a defizit of material in the earth mantle ( with suggested larger hollow spaces thos likely formed out  within the crust by those the tectonic plates also sink deeper ) the earth now needs to equalize by more subduction.  Thus phase II is the final phase characterized with a final drop of the integral electron flux back to normal values of  1- 10 pfu. ( discharge> neutron and isotope  formation...) where more subduction quakes will occure worldwide with the imminent danger of one or two single quakes those might again reach catrastrophic magnitudes of M 9 and higher with the risk of another widespreading Tusnami if these quakes happen subseas. GOES REAL TIME PLOT OF INTEGRAL ELECTRON FLUX: Such a quake will most likely  NOT HAPPEN now within the Atlantic ( but- as I believe- rather in the Eastern Pacific) : Subduction is only known to occure at the randoms of the Atlantic as at some parts of  the African coast (> see earthquake  Agadir 1960)  or the Carribean plate (Haiti 2011)   Due to less magmatic quakes registered in the  last weeks, magma intrusion has  further decreased. But that magma needs at leat 3- 6 month to cool down so far,  and  it would even also perfectly seal  the entire space with new and extreme hard hot spot  material .However- the latest MODVOLC Image taken on 20150115 shows still heat signatures below the volcanic systems on all volcanic Canary  islands and I cant really see a big difference to the images we had in 2014: Nevertheless I believe, that  the long period  magma intrusion we had on the Canaries as well as on other faults within the Atlantic  in 2014 is most likely  responsible for these shocks registered on January 12 2015 those might be - according to that- the contraction effect of cooling  magma: 2015-01-12   22:06:04.8 28.05  N   16.18  W   34 2.7  CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION 2015-01-12   22:19:08.9 28.10  N   16.19  W   39 2.6  CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION 2015-01-12   22:18:06.3 28.08  N   16.20  W   36 2.7  CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION 2015-01-12   22:15:38.5 28.07  N   16.24  W   40 2.8  CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION 2015-01-12   22:15:05.2 28.15  N   16.19  W   42 2.7  CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION 2015-01-12   22:13:55.0 28.14  N   16.21  W   41 2.9  CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION here the activities until January 12  as posted by the IGN: 1313388 12/01/2015 22:21:10 28.1245 -16.1843 40 1.9 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313390 12/01/2015 22:19:08 28.0915 -16.1904 37 2.2 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313389 12/01/2015 22:18:06 28.0877 -16.2005 38 2.2 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313387 12/01/2015 22:17:36 28.1044 -16.2025 38 2.0 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313386 12/01/2015 22:16:15 28.1459 -16.1999 40 2.2 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313391 12/01/2015 22:15:38 28.0976 -16.1973 36 1.8 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313385 12/01/2015 22:15:05 28.1355 -16.1891 40 2.2 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313384 12/01/2015 22:13:55 28.1304 -16.1980 39 2.3 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313379 12/01/2015 22:13:04 28.0871 -16.2371 40 2.4 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313392 12/01/2015 22:06:04 28.0546 -16.1787 34 2.1 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313392 12/01/2015 22:06:04 28.0546 -16.1787 34 2.1 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313395 12/01/2015 21:59:35 28.1105 -16.1786 30 2.2 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313429 12/01/2015 21:17:08 28.0968 -16.2184 40 2.5 mbLg ATLÁNTICO-CANARIAS [+] 1313304 12/01/2015 04:25:22 27.8579 -17.8961 24 1.9 mbLg NE VALVERDE.IHI [+]
