A small earthquake measuring 2.6 on the Richter Scale, occurred in the sea bed between Gran Canaria and Tenerife on Thursday 21st January 2010.The quake was felt in some small towns nearer to the north of Gran Canaria in Agaete. Also, residents in barrio de Veneguera in the municipio of Mogan came out of their houses to see what had happened.
This isn't the first time seismic activity has been felt in the Canary Islands and it won't be the last. In 2008 Tenerife felt tremors of 3.4 and back in 1989 there was one of 5.2 on the scale. This all points to the fault line below the sea between the islands.
