Phys.org • 12/10/2025 • Last cited 12/14/2025
Summary
Research by Asier Madarieta from EHU's HGI group indicates that the Iberian Peninsula is rotating clockwise due to the compression and deformation of the Earth's crust at the boundary where Eurasia and Africa meet. This study aims to enhance understanding of the region's geological complexities and identify potential earthquake risks.
