Fiabilidad de la interpretación de las referencias de erupciones subhistóricas de Tenerife: la erupción pre-holocena de Mña. Taoro

Abstract

Errors in the interpretation of clouds, fumarolic activity and forest fires as volcanic eruptions in Tenerife, mainly in relation with Teide volcano, are common in references by passing navigators and other eye-witness accounts. This papers analyzes the volcanic cones located in the Orotava Valley, erroneously assigned to a 1430 AD eruption. Geological evidence and radiocarbon dating of charcoal underlying the lapilli, and 39Ar/40Ar dating of one of the lava flows, show that these volcanic cones and lavas correspond to an eruption that took place about 30.000 years BP. The analysis of the influence of these erroneous ages for the recent volcanism of Tenerife shows an overestimation of eruptive hazards of Tenerife and clear deficiencies in the recently published volcanic hazard maps of the island.

En Canarias son frecuentes tanto las citas a erupciones volcánicas que no existieron como la errónea interpretación de relatos de testigos oculares. En este trabajo se analiza un caso paradigmático: la erupción de los conos del Valle de La Orotava, tenidos en general por una erupción de 1430 cuando la evidencia geológica y las dataciones radioisotópicas (C.14 y 39Ar/40Ar) tanto de restos de carbón bajo el lapilli como de la propia colada de uno de los centros eruptivos de la alineación (Mña. Taoro) indican una edad cercana a los 30.000 años. Se analiza la incidencia de estas edades erróneas en la exageración artificial de la peligrosidad eruptiva de Tenerife y en las deficiencias de algunos mapas de peligrosidad volcánica elaborados recientemente.

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 Profesor Brad Singer (Dept. of Geology & Geophysics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) la datación 39Ar/40Ar de la colada de Mña. Taoro.
