Anonymous Coward User ID: 1485984 Australia 07/28/2011 10:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [VOLCANO] Earthquake activity below El Hierro volcano, Canary Islands, Spain Recently El Hierro volcano of the Canary Islands has been experiencing a seismic swarm beneath it, which as of yesterday reached to over 700 events. Most of these events have been at Magnitudes of around 2 (+/-0.5) and are clustered beneath El Hierro whilst the depths of these earthquakes have been roughly between 9 and 16 km for the most part, with the exception of a few shallower and deeper quakes, the shallowest of which has been 4 km. If we look at these earthquakes in two plots here [ link to www.volcano-blog.com] we can see the clustering of these earthquakes is mainly confined to an oval area at 10 km depth. El Hierro is a broadly basaltic volcano which might have been active in 1793 although this is uncertain. [ link to earthquake-report.com] |

What connection, if any, is there to the other volcano in the Canaries, i.e. the dangerous one shown on the Discovery channel? Could one set off the other?
