An Entity of Type: earthquake, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1761 Lisbon earthquake and its subsequent tsunami occurred in the north Atlantic Ocean and south of the Iberian Peninsula. This violent shock which struck just after noon on 31 March 1761, was felt across many parts of Western Europe. Its direct effects were even observed far north in Scotland and Amsterdam, and to the south in the Canary Islands of Spain. The estimated surface-wave magnitude 8.5 event was the largest in the region, and the most significant earthquake in Europe since the Great Lisbon earthquake of 1755.

dbo:abstract
  • The 1761 Lisbon earthquake and its subsequent tsunami occurred in the north Atlantic Ocean and south of the Iberian Peninsula. This violent shock which struck just after noon on 31 March 1761, was felt across many parts of Western Europe. Its direct effects were even observed far north in Scotland and Amsterdam, and to the south in the Canary Islands of Spain. The estimated surface-wave magnitude 8.5 event was the largest in the region, and the most significant earthquake in Europe since the Great Lisbon earthquake of 1755. Records of this disaster are sparse as the Portuguese government censored much information in order to avoid panic in the already ruined city. Damage was significant in older parts of the city and among buildings damaged by the previous earthquake. (en)
  • O terremoto de 1761 em Lisboa e o tsunami do Atlântico Norte em Portugal ocorreram no Oceano Atlântico, ao sul da Península Ibérica. Este choque violento que atingiu logo após o meio-dia em 31 de março de 1761, foi sentido em muitas partes da Europa Ocidental. Seus efeitos diretos foram observados até mesmo no extremo norte da Escócia e Amsterdã, e ao sul nas Ilhas Canárias da Espanha. O evento de magnitude 8,5 de onda de superfície estimada foi o maior na região e o terremoto mais significativo na Europa desde o terremoto da Grande Lisboa de 1755. (pt)
