Teneguía ( Spanish pronunciation: [ t e n e ˈ ɣ i a ] ) is a monogenetic cinder cone – a volcanic vent which has been active once (in 1971) and has had further seismic activity. It is situated on the island of La Palma , one of the Canary Islands , and is located at the southern end of the sub-aerial section of the Cumbre Vieja volcano , of which Teneguía is just one of several vents .
5-470: This vent was the source of a subaerial volcanic eruption in Spain, which occurred from October 26 to November 28, 1971. Earthquakes preceded the eruption. A tourist died as a result of severe intoxication caused by gas inhalation near the volcano after breaking the security cordon established to protect the population. The eruption caused some property damage to roads, crops, and homes. It also destroyed
10-684: A beach , though a new one was later formed by natural means. Densely populated zones were not affected. The vent has since become an attraction for tourists and forms part of the Monumento Natural de Los Volcanes de Teneguía . Until the 2011–12 El Hierro eruption , this was the last volcanic eruption in Spain, and until the 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption , the last volcanic eruption in Spain on land.

15-503: A water surface, submarine events or features located below a sea surface, subterranean events or features located below ground, or subglacial events or features located below glacial ice such as ice sheets . For example, a subaerial eruption of a volcano is one that ejects material in the open but "under the air" (under the atmosphere). Subaerial weathering is weathering by rain, frost, rivers etc. The term "subaerial" may exclude processes occurring in caves. The term

Subaerial In natural science , subaerial (literally "under the air") has been used since 1833, notably in geology and botany , to describe features and events occurring or formed on or near the Earth 's land surface. They are thus exposed to Earth's atmosphere. This may be contrasted with subaqueous events or features located below
25-493: Is often used in sedimentology . Leaves are subaerial organs of plants. Some plants may have subaerial roots, either totally ( epiphytic plants such as some orchids ) or more commonly only partly so. The oil palm tree can grow roots into accumulations of decaying leaves on the soil surface; these roots are said to be subaerial. Epiphyte plants growing above ground that do not feed from their tree support (for example through their haustorium or feeding part having dug into
