Seismicity induces ground vertical and horizontal displacements that could affect the image quality obtained by telescopes in a similar fashion than atmospheric turbulence. In this work, we study the effect of local seismicity relative to atmospheric turbulence upon the image quality of astronomical observations at El Teide observatory, Canary Islands. Three different aspects of seismicity are studied, namely regional seismicity (that is compared with other astronomical sites), seismic noise and possible resonances between seismic noise and the structure of telescopes.
