Newly Discovered Fault Line May Explain Lisbon Earthquakes
A newly discovered 200km fault line off the coast of Cabo de São Vicente may explain the large earthquakes that struck Lisbon in 1755 and 1969, according to a study published in Nature Geosciences.

Aral Sea Shrinkage Causes Measurable Uplift of Earth's Crust
The shrinking Aral Sea, caused by water diversion for cotton and rice production, resulted in a 90% surface area and 93% volume reduction between 1960 and 2018, leading to a measurable 7mm/year land uplift due to asthenosphere readjustment.

Santorini Earthquake Swarm Prompts Evacuations, Larger Quake Feared
An unusual earthquake swarm near Santorini, Greece, the largest of which was a 5.2 magnitude quake, has prompted the evacuation of around 11,000 people and raised concerns about a potentially larger quake to come. The quakes are centered between Santorini and Amorgos islands.

Tectonic Plate Fissure May Explain Lisbon Earthquakes
A newly discovered fissure in the tectonic plate off the coast of Portugal, forming for at least five million years, is causing delamination and may explain the 1755 and 1969 Lisbon earthquakes; scientists used ocean-floor seismometers and computational models to make the discovery.

Shallow Earthquake Strikes Tectonically Active Myanmar
A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar near Mandalay on Friday, causing significant damage and being felt in neighboring countries; the quake's shallow depth and location near the tectonically active Sagaing fault exacerbated the impact.

Sinking Iraq: Tectonic Plate Subduction Slows Sinks Zagros Region
Researchers discovered that the Zagros Mountain region in northern Iraq is slowly sinking due to the subduction of the Neotethys oceanic plate, a process caused by the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian continental plates, and this could improve earthquake prediction models.

India's shrinking landmass: Plate tectonics vs. rising sea levels
India's landmass is slowly colliding with the Eurasian Plate causing the loss of territory, but the more immediate danger to the country is the rising sea level.
