The Seismic Park of Montaña Roja - Tenerife

The Montaña Roja Seismic Park , located in the nature reserve surrounding Montaña Roja, is an important research and educational area focusing on seismic activity and volcanic phenomena.

The park is equipped with advanced seismic instruments that continuously measure seismic activity in the region. This helps scientists monitor and study earthquakes and volcanic activity. Geologists and seismologists collect data on seismic waves , earthquakes, and other geophysical phenomena to better understand the dynamics of the Earth's crust in the area. Through continuous monitoring and analysis of seismic activity, the park contributes to the safety of the region. It can provide early warnings of possible volcanic eruptions or earthquakes , allowing preventive measures to be taken to protect the population.

The park has an educational function, where visitors can learn about seismology, volcanology and the geological history of Tenerife. Information boards and educational materials are available to raise public awareness of the dangers and science behind earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
