Paleoearthquake evidence in Tenerife (Canary Islands) and possible seismotectonic sources

Evaluation of Acanthamoeba isolates from environmental sources in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

Tests for potentially pathogenic amoebae were carried out in order to determine the presence of free-living amoebae of genus Acanthamoeba in soil and beach sand sources related to human environments in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. Acanthamoeba identification was based on the morphology of cyst and trophozoite forms and PCR amplification with a genus specific primer pair. The pathogenical po...

Zeolites in Pyroclastic Deposits in Southeastern Tenerife (canary Islands)

-The chemical and the mineralogical composition of a group of pumiceous tufts associated with recent salic volcanic episodes from Tenerife (Canary Islands) have been studied. The investigation focused on the two main types of pyroclastic deposits of the zone: ash-flows and ash-falls. The samples can be classified chemically as trachytic and phonolitic rocks with an intermediate silica content a...

Results of tidal gravity observations in Tenerife, Canary Islands

c Tidal gravity observations have been carried out in Tenerife (Canary Islands) at the. base of the Teide volcano, more than two thousand meters above the sea level. The measurements have been done using a Lacoste&Romberg-G gravimeter (number 665), with electronic feedback during a period of six months. The results show, after a suitable correction of the ocean loading and attraction' effects, ...

Natural and Acquired Soil Quality along Environmental Gradients (tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)

Abstract Tenerife Island, has a wide environmental diversity due to its altitude (3718m at its highest point) and to the climatic differences between its windward and leeward slopes. This work studies the changes in the natural soil quality along environmental gradients on the Tenerife Island and how this natural quality is modified by man’s effect on the ecosystem. For this purpose, a total of...
