New look at 1755 quake, Europe’s largest ever, may foretell Atlantic ‘ring of fire’
Analysis suggests Earth’s mantle is peeling from the crust in the eastern Atlantic, a possible sign of the ocean’s eventual closure

New in @nature.com: research led by @idlearth.bsky.social's @joaocduarte.bsky.social shows the ocean floor off Portugal is peeling away into the mantle.
This rare process may explain the 1755 Lisbon M8.7 quake and could mark the initiation of a new subduction zone.

Seismic evidence for oceanic plate delamination offshore Southwest Iberia - Nature Geoscience
The lithospheric mantle may be delaminating from the crust in an oceanic plate segment offshore Southwest Iberia, which could be the ultimate cause of the 1755 Great Lisbon Earthquake, according to seismic imaging and numerical simulations.

The region around the Pic Saint-Loup is a popular destination for many EU universities to teach mapping field courses – and there is a reason for it, even besides the great landscape, good food and nice weather.
