About Enjambre Sísmico Tenerife
Welcome to Enjambre Sísmico Tenerife, your dedicated resource for understanding and monitoring seismic activity on the beautiful island of Tenerife. The term "Enjambre Sísmico" refers to a seismic swarm—a cluster of earthquakes occurring in a localized area over a period, often associated with volcanic or tectonic processes.
Given Tenerife's volcanic origin and the presence of Teide, its majestic stratovolcano, seismic monitoring is crucial for both scientific research and public awareness. Our mission is to demystify these natural phenomena, providing timely, accurate, and accessible information about seismic swarms detected in Tenerife and the surrounding Canary Islands.
We aim to be a bridge between complex scientific data and the curious public, offering clear explanations, historical context, and insights into the geological dynamics that shape our island. Whether you are a local resident, a visitor, or simply interested in earth sciences, Enjambre Sísmico Tenerife is here to enhance your understanding of the ground beneath our feet.

Editorial Standards
At Enjambre Sísmico Tenerife, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of journalistic and scientific integrity. Our content is guided by three core principles:
- Accuracy: All information presented on this site is thoroughly researched and vetted against reputable scientific sources. We rely on data from official seismological and volcanological institutions (such as IGN, INVOLCAN, and leading university research departments) to ensure the factual correctness of our articles, analyses, and updates. We clearly distinguish between confirmed facts, scientific hypotheses, and expert opinions.
- Originality: Our content is developed in-house, offering unique perspectives, detailed analyses, and original explanations tailored to our audience. While we reference and build upon existing scientific knowledge, our articles aim to provide fresh insights and accessible interpretations of complex seismic phenomena. We strictly prohibit plagiarism and uphold intellectual property rights.
- Transparency: We believe in open communication. Our sources are cited whenever appropriate, allowing readers to verify information independently. We are transparent about the methodologies used in our analyses and, in the event of any error, we are committed to promptly correcting it and clearly indicating the revision.
