Review of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake Based on Recent Analyses of Historical Observations - Historical Seismology: Interdisciplinary Studies of Past and Recent Earthquakes - page 267

Fig. 6 Geodynamic models in contact with the Euro-Asian, African and of Alborn plates, to
explain the seismic source that generated the 1755 earthquake: a) epicentres defined by several
authors, along the XXth century (Zitellini et al. , 1999 and 2000); b) western area of the portuguese
coast controled by the phenomenon of compression between the plates (Terrinha et al. , 2003); c)
model of multiple rupture Southwest of Cape Sao Vicente and in the Lower Tagus Valley (Vilanova
et al. , 2003); d) interaction of the mini Plate of Alboran with two other plates, as a possible trigger
to initiate the rupture (Gutscher, 2004)
