Madrid: A day after the worst earthquake ever in Spain, a volcano erupted on La Palma Island. The volcano, which has been smoldering for the last 6 weeks, has spewed a lot of ash on Sunday. Data from the European Union’s Satellite Monitoring Service showed that lava flows descending from the volcanic ridge into the Atlantic Ocean have engulfed 970 hectares, or about 2,400 acres, since the eruption began on September 19. took.

On the way down the slope, the molten rock has destroyed more than 2000 buildings. Due to this, more than 7000 people had to leave their homes and take shelter in a safe place. However, according to officials in the Canary Islands, no casualties have been reported so far due to exposure to lava or frequent inhalation of toxic gases spread in the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions.

According to experts, it is difficult to predict when the eruption will stop because the lava, ash, and gases rising to the surface is a reflection of complex geological activity that lies beneath the Earth and far beyond the reach of currently available technology.

According to the Spanish Geographic Institute, or IGN, a magnitude 5 earthquake was felt not only on La Palma but also in La Gomera, a neighboring island on the western edge of the Canary Islands, in the early hours of Saturday.

Spanish authorities have started evacuating people from the Atlantic island of La Palma. At the same time, experts had warned of strong earthquake tremors and the danger of explosion in the volcano. Earlier, government experts had said that the explosion was not imminent. There is an increased risk of an earthquake near the surface of the island (Spain Volcano Eruption). This island is part of the Canary Islands. Authorities have ordered the evacuation of people from villages located near the epicenter of seismic activity as a precautionary measure.
