Earthquakes and Tsunamis in the Region from Azores Islands to Iberian Peninsula.

On February 28th, 1969, a large earthquake (M SB w sb = 7.8) strokes the Iberian Peninsula and northern Morocco, producing some casualties and important damage and economic losses. This earthquake is the last large earthquake that has occurred in this region, very near where the catastrophic 1755 Lisbon earthquake took place. The paper by Udías ([11]) is a review of large tsunamigenic earthquakes that occurred at SW of Iberia before the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. [Extracted from the article]
