Researchers have identified two active tectonic faults on the Canary Island of La Palma named Tazacorte and Mazo.
These faults were instrumental in the 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption, creating Tajogaite volcano.
The study, published in Applied Sciences, reveals over 300 points of fracture data related to the eruption and subsequent seismic flow – the largest eruption on the archipelago since 1980.
