Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:The area south of the Iberian Peninsula, governed largely by the Alborán domain, is a complex area of seismic activity that scientists are still trying to unravel. A new study analyzed earthquake history and surface deformation attained via satellite to determine that the entire peninsula is slowly rotating clockwise. Of course, questions remain, and one of these lingering geologic questions is what exactly is occurring along the Eurasian and Africa fault just south of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. 2026 A geodynamic interpretation of the Iberian Peninsula. The team found that these geological forces are causing the Iberian Peninsula to slowly rotate clockwise.
