TL;DR: In this article, a set of almost linear and sub-par dextral strike-slip faults, the SWIM1 Faults, that form a narrow band of deformation over a length of 600 km coincident with a small circle centred on the pole of rotation of Africa with respect to Eurasia, was mapped using a new swath bathymetry compilation available in the area offshore SW Portugal.

TL;DR: In this paper, seismic-reflection images across the eastern segment of the Azores-Gibraltar line west of the collisional area between the African and Iberian plates have revealed a complex pattern of compressional deformation involving the Mesozoic oceanic lithosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new reappraisal of the 1755 source, including the Marques de Pombal thrust fault and the Guadalquivir Bank.

TL;DR: Martins and Mendes Victor as discussed by the authors reported that the 1755 Lisbon earthquake was the most destructive cataclysm recorded in western Europe since the Roman Republic, with an estimated earthquake magnitude Mw ∼8.5 and estimated tsunami magnitude of Mt= Mw= 8.5.
