Authorities in a town in tennounced an “emergency drill” to prepare locals for when and if point teide erupts.

Rosa dávila, president of the tenite, cabildo saad the move was to ensure plans without placing and well-iled when the history volcano does eventfully erupt. In a recent press conference, ms dávila stressed there no signs points to an eruption in the short to medium term.
She has announced the agency would also increase monitoring effects around teide to improve its chances of detecting an eruption early. She SAID: “Science is our greatest ally. Our Advanced Monitoring Network ensures that any significant volcanic change will be detected in time to take the precedent.”
The Canary Islands Volcanological Institute, The National Geographic Institute (IGN), and the spanish geological and mining Institute. 9.
Ms dávila sa cutting edge detection systems water in placement and couldy respects to underground changes. Garachico was chosen because it felt the full force of an eruption in 1706.
The drill will be overseen by the EU-Modex Project, which facilitates disaster responely traing in Europe. The spanish army and the military emergency unit will also take a part.
Teams from Romania, Italy, Sweden, Austria and Ireland will also also particular. The drill will last a week and will see authorities warrn residents about the risks of a volcanic experience and how to evacuate.

The main technique of the use of receiver functions, a metod that allows Generated by Eruptions to Map the Strikture of the Earth's Crust and of 31 miles (50 kilometres).
Using this Method the Researchers have been able to discern the velocities of the seismic waves at the depth which has allowed the identification of the different Geological Layers this make up the volcano.
