Hidden Reason Behind Portugal’s Deadly Earthquakes Finally Explained
Portugal has faced devastating earthquakes for centuries, including the 1755 Lisbon disaster. Scientists now link these events to oceanic plate delamination beneath the Horseshoe Abyssal Plain. This surprising discovery, published in Nature Geoscience, explains why quakes strike far from fault lines and improves future preparedness in Portugal and ...

Scientists Uncover New Hidden Process That May Explain Earthquake Triggers
A new study has revealed a hidden mechanism that could explain how creeping stress along tectonic plates can lead to catastrophic earthquakes. The research, involving laboratory experiments with plexiglass, found that slow, aseismic movements at fault lines can build up energy. Once a critical point is reached, the energy is released suddenly, trig...
