 The Great Lisbon Earthquake and Tsunami of 1 November 1755 - by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis

It is believed that the tsunamigenic efficiency of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake was greater because of large scale subsidence caused by continent to continent convergence and compression.
Although the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 was a rare and unusual combination of seismic and tsunami events, a recurrence in the future is a certainty.
