According to the National Geographic Institute (IGN), an earthquake of 3.1 magnitude was detected off the coast of Tenerife, near Poris de Abona at 6pm yesterday (Wednesday), which originated from 36 kilometres deep in the Atlantic Ocean.
In fact, over the last 10 days the IGN has detected a small seismic series of tremors between the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, with four earthquakes between 20 and 30 kilometres deep, but this is the biggest one.
A second one was registered at 1am which was only 1.7 on the Richter scale at a depth of about 25 km, but much closer to the coast in front of El Tablado by Güímar.
The third event in this series was registered a few days ago on July 5th at 11:30pm with a magnitude of 1.5, and the fourth earthquake was detected on June 30th, at 9:40pm with an intensity of 1.6 degrees and 23km deep.
In June, more than 50 earthquakes were detected in the vicinity of the Canary Islands.
