[HIGHLIGHTS] The two active faults that caused the La Palma eruption have been found

Study locates fractures in the Earth's crust that cross the island and have damaged dozens of buildings. Some homes have been left uninhabitable and others have been repaired since the 1980s.

The two new faults of La Palma, named Tazacorte and Mazo, can be considered the fastest in the entire Spanish territory. They move about three millimeters a year, triple that of the Carboneras fault, one of the fastest on the Peninsula, says Miguel Ángel Rodríguez.
