Nota preliminar sobre las características estructurales del Rift Noreste de Tenerife

Abstract

Los rifts son estructuras cruciales en el desarrollo de las islas volcánicas oceánicas. Los rifts noroeste y noreste de Tenerife son dos ejemplos extremos por su diferente edad, actividad eruptiva reciente y grado de erosión. El riftt NW ha permitido evaluar la distribución espacial y temporal del volcanismo en estas estructuras volcánicas. El rift NE, prácticamente inactivo desde hace decenas de miles de años, está profundamente erosionado y presenta en afloramiento el enjambre de diques que forma su estructura interna, alcazándose un acceso aun más profundo a través de galerías. La cartografía de los diques y la determinación de su polaridad geomagnética ha permitido diferenciar dis-tintas poblaciones; éstas se disponen en paquetes alternantes, sugiriendo que las fases eruptivas ocurren en periodos concentrados separados por largos periodos de quiescencia. El rift NE ha tenido al menos tres grandes deslizamientos laterales, dos de ellos (La Orotava y Güímar) ya conocidos. En este trabajo se describe de forma preliminar el deslizamiento y volcán central anidado de Micheque. Este deslizamiento se ha detectado por la presencia de una brecha de deslizamiento en el subsuelo del flanco noroeste del rift, a la que sigue un continuado volcanis-mo que rellena la cuenca de deslizamiento, evolucionando desde basaltos a traquitas y formando un volcán central anidado similar a otros ya descritos en Canarias, como el Bejenado, en La Palma, o el Teide, en Tenerife.

Rifts are the most relevant structures in the geology of oceanic volcanic islands. The northwest and northeast rifts of Tenerife differ in age, recent eruptive activity and erosion. Spatial and temporal distribution of volcanism has been defined in the young (mainly Holocene) NW rift. The NE rift, deeply eroded, shows the dense dyke swarm forming its internal structure. Deeper access to the core of the rift can be reached using water galeries. Dyke mapping and geomagnetic polarity determination shows that dykes arrange in groups o a predomi-nant polarity, suggesting that eruptions concentrate in short periods separated by long spans of quiescence. At least three lateral massive collapses have mass-wasted the NE rift, the Orotava, Güímar and the Micheque landslides, the last, not mentioned previously, mass-wasted the northwest flank of the rift. Continued volcanism filled the Micheque collapse depression, evolving to construct the Micheque central (differentiated) volcano, nested in the collapse embayment. The Micheque volcano is similar to other nested volcanoes in the Canaries, such as the Bejenado Volcano (La Palma) and Teide Volcano (Tenerife).

Este trabajo ha sido financiado por la Caja Gral. de Ahorros de Canarias y el Proyecto del Plan Nacional de I+D+I CGL2005-00239. Agradecemos al Cabildo Insular de Tenerife las facilidades prestadas para la obtención de muestras orientadas y el estudio de las galerías.
