To hike down Mount Teide after visiting the geochemical stations at 3,555m high is a must.
The huge phonolitic lavas their big accretionary lava balls impress everyone.

Ground deformation be4 a volcanic eruption is primarily caused by processes related to the movement, accumulation, and pressurisation of magma and associated fluids (gas water) beneath the surface, specially, H2O, CO2 and SO2

Volcanic Monitoring by I.G.N. @IGNSpain
Volcanoes are monitored using various methods to detect changes that indicate an impending eruption, such as seismic activity, ground deformation, and gas emissions.

Tenerife, in central-western part of the archipelago, is the largest island and hosts the third-largest volcanic structure on Earth. It has seen highly explosive eruptions, which form calderas pyroclastic density currents, as well as effusive mafic eruptions at its rift zones.

The amount of Plinian well preserved deposits in #Tenerife is enormous and diverse.
