Kingstown – Seismic activity at the La Soufrière volcano in St Vincent has remained low since the tremor associated with the explosion and ash venting three days ago.
Additionally, scientists monitoring the volcano have indicated that over the last 24 hours only a few long-period, hybrid and volcano-tectonic earthquakes were recorded, with no further tremor.
The Seismic Research Centre (SRC) of the University of the West Indies (UWI) said in its latest update that since the initial depressurisation – a decrease in pressure within a volcano caused by the release of magma, gases or fluids during an explosive event – noted immediately following the April 9 explosive phase, the continuous GPS network has recorded a decrease in the overall rates of horizontal and vertical movement.
