Teide Volcano Update; Canary Islands Earthquake Swarm, 500+ Earthquakes

[@EtaCarinaeSC]

I live there and i was expecting this video but not so soon :D

[@tatonkatatonka]

Thanks for all the work you do putting these videos together

[@kennethblain610]

I love your footage of the volcano. Volcanos are quite beautiful. Have a great day everyone!

[@NoidoDev]

The pines smell like pines. Often as soon as you open the door of the car.

[@johnbarratt983]

I stayed in the Teide caldera for two days last week. The scenery is Mars like. Some interesting walks with many volcanic features to look at. Much cooler than down at sea level.

[@jackmaxcy]

Thanks for the content. I always learn something new with each release of your videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@TheSpaceEnthusiast-vl6wx]

Thanks as always, Geology Hub!

[@friedrichschiller3012]

Did an internship in 1994 on the neighbour island of La Gomera. Always with the Teide in sight. I made hundreds of photos of the Teide. Looked different every day.

[@billfoster7951]

Thanks for your hard work.

[@skatervitaly]

Thank you, I appreciateit you making this and sharing it (so quick! ) ❤

[@HeySimo.]

Hola! Greetings from Tenerife 💪💪😎💙

[@giglefreakz]

I visited Tenerife and this volcano this summer. It was an absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring sight. Hopefully it won't amount to anything major.

[@GMteam.]

did you go up in the cable car?

[@Cerbera66]

Thanks for the informative video 😃⛰️

[@1001Wildthings]

Wonderful graphics and explanations (again!)... Thank you!

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

Thank you for the update.

[@monstrositylabs]

Teide is one of my favourite volcanos

[@StarrySGH]

Thanks for the update!

[@GalaxyCurse]

Thank you for the information. I live on the next island to the east, Gran Canaria. A few years ago, just when the La Palma Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted, we were at the beach. Quickly thinking about if we should take a hike in the mountains instead, because of all the talk of a possible mega tsunami... 😂

[@EdenAGardener]

I’m literally visiting the summit of this tommorrow

[@kaihumphreys96]

As there seems to be multiple vents at the Pico Viejo satellite cone, Would there ever be an eruption from the summit cone on top of of Mt Teide

[@dariuszrybacki5520]

Is it possible that a summit eruption (from the top central vent of Teide) will take place in the foreseeable future?

[@RomoRooster]

There's been massive landslides at those islands

[@DragonsAndDragons777]

4:50 THAT'S MEEEEEE!

[@Jesus_is_All_we_need]

👋👍❤️

[@DamianN-m1h]

Have you ever been in Tenerife?

[@whiteknightcat]

Pause the video at 2:00. Look about 1/4 way in the image from the right side of the screen, where the right side of the cone in the background intersects with the solidified lava in the foreground. See it? Why does there appear to be a steel handhold embedded in the lava block (visible against the sky)?

[@Vert-k3j]

It's probably concrete don't get the uneducated all excited.

[@whiteknightcat]

@@Vert-k3j I was hoping this was evidence of the Mole People civilization underneath the surface that got caught up in the eruption and ended up on the surface.

[@Laewlash]

It’s part of the trail you can walk up there, I have been there this summer

[@OpaSpielt]

People throw their waste, metal or concrete trash all over the world, even at the foot of a volcano. 🙄

[@whiteknightcat]

@@Laewlash I guess yours is the most sensible answer yet. Still ... (imagining Mole People)

[@ducthman4737]

This volcano is more than 7000 meter high.

[@scarpfish]

Counting from the sea floor, yes.

[@Lovinglifeinseattle]

Incredible. I did not know that. Thank you.

[@Seawolfaka]

I watched the top of Mauna Loa blasting off from my back porch and Kīlauea blasting from my front door!!!! Great fun

[@friedrichschiller3012]

3715 m above sea level.

[@bipl8989]

Third tallest mountain in the world. Two in Hawaii are taller.

[@davedavedave52]

I sent you a video to your Instagram acct. About a mud volcano. I thought you might enjoy it. Opps I see you already know

[@josephdavis7812]

Haha still legendary for commenting this, that one was CRAZY

[@poronthipbrooks4276]

❤❤

[@andrewbrennan2891]

The delightfully titled 'Narices del Teide' or nostrils of Teide is hypothetical 1.

[@slickwillie9526]

Your belly will rumble for only so long before you clear the room.

[@georginagateley5267]

Isn’t this how la palma started to awaken ?

[@nicholasmaude6906]

I wonder if there's ever any snow on the summit of this volcano during winter?

[@johnbarratt983]

A little snow on the summit 12 days ago.

[@EtaCarinaeSC]

snow is common and can happen every time between november and june. It usually doesnt stick as Teide's climate is very dry.

[@bipl8989]

In 2017 or 18 snow occurred everywhere above the 1100m elevation. There was not very much last year (2023) but was visible from December until March.

[@HeySimo.]

I saw snow right this morning

[@Doctor-vn8es]

For the record, Teide is 3,715 m (12,188 ft) high. If it were 7,000 m high that would put it in the top 120 highest mountains in the world. The highest volcano in the world is Ojos del Salado, in Chile / Argentina at 6,839 m. No volcano is over 7,000 m high. It is 2.3 miles high, not 4.4 miles.

[@ryanwatterson4038]

From the sea floor?

[@debbie1995]

instead of yelling that someone isn't right, you ever heard of perspectives? your height is right but that height of 7.000 is the height starting from the sea surface so the base of the volcano. from the sea floor Teide is over 7.000 meters high, just as mauna loa is even higher with over 9.000 meters then mount everest when measured from the foot of the volcano. it's not like the volcano and the island is floating on the water with no rock structure, magma chamber and one or more vents beneath it 😂😂😂😂😂

[@davidcranstone9044]

Um, who is yelling here - the original comment is perfectly calmly and constructively phrased and does not criticise anyone. Tiede is 3,715m etc from sea level (the normal measure for any mountain projecting into the atmosphere), or c 7000m etc from sea floor (a measurement which only applies to volcanoes which rise as a single more or less unbroken slope from seabed to summit, and is inevitably less precise since the surrounding seabed is never going to be absolutely level, and may vary considerably between different marine-based volcanoes.

[@lens2024ts]

Dangerous or... 😮

[@jimihendrix991]

Any correlation between these 5 swarms and solar activity?

[@littlewren5775]

Stranger things do / can happen

[@Skibidididy]

Vesuvius is in an even more dormant state yet its gets lots of attention for every small earthquake that happens,every single day i get closer to accepting its just extinct.

[@xwiick]

Vesuvius is far from extinct. Its very much active.

[@davidcranstone9044]

Vesuvius is highly unlikely to be extinct since it last erupted in 1944 (CE). Though I agree that the oh-my-god attention to every minor earthquake or swarm is a complete waste of time and often deliberate clickbaiting by those who ought to know better (and are even dumber if they don't but more deliberately malign if they do). If there really is a genuine cause for concern you can rely on GH to cover it.

[@Skibidididy]

@davidcranstone9044 the issue Is that vesuvius lacks any sign of actual Activity and Is infact lowering, implying that the magma chamber Is draining or has fully cooled down.

[@littlebiscuits]

The best seismic activity always seems to happen for a few days before and after new and full moons.

[@rodwallace6237]

Tides and additional gravitational pull from the moon causing slightly increased stresses on the Earth's crust, known as "tidal triggering."

[@EatsLikeADuck]

Zero connection between the phase of the Moon and earthquakes or eruptions.

[@littlebiscuits]

@@EatsLikeADuck Until you actually look at the data, I have and it's there.

Cánary islands please, not Canáry. This name has nothing to do with the birds.

Canaria. Dogs in fact from the Latin.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

Still, probably not a good idea to take your holiday there for a while. Too much guessing goes on with this channel

[@davidcranstone9044]

I doubt if any guessing goes on on this channel, at least not by GH - he is a professional vulcanologist giving his professional opinion based on the available evidence, and that is always going to be better than guessing. And he is not afraid to give warnings, sometimes urgent ones, when he deems it necessary. Even if this an early warning of an impending eruption it would normally take at least a year (often quite a bit longer) for slight deep movements of magma like this to develop into bigger movements, move upwards towards the surface, set off ground elevation, thermal anomalies, changes in gas emissions etc, before a surface eruption becomes likely and imminent. So book and take your holidays as normal, and enjoy! Just keep a bit of an eye on this channel, especially if you are booking a year or more ahead, by which time the risk could be becoming more obvious and imminent.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@davidcranstone9044 Sense of humour failure by any chance ?

[@Vesuviusisking]

Mount etna isn’t dangerous

[@kamildowejko2254]

It is

[@keatonterry]

Except over a million people live around its base, and a major lateral eruption could destroy thousands of structures

[@EtaCarinaeSC]

Etna can be explosive.

[@philipbaker6567]

Tidy!
