Many different sources have been proposed for the 1755 CE earthquake and tsunami, although to date no single source accounts for the massive energy-release required to: (1) explain the spatial pattern of earthquake intensity observed along the Cadiz Gulf and both the western and southern mainland Portuguese coast, and (2) agree with tsunami travel times observed around and over the Atlantic Ocean. Some studies suggest that this event was triggered by interconnected faults or landslide movements (e.g., Grácia et al., 2003;Vilanova & Fonseca, 2004). Furthermore, the Cadiz Accretionary Wedge (CAW), Horseshoe Fault (HSF), Gorringe Bank (GB), and Marquês de Pombal Fault (MPF) have all been proposed as primary locations where fault-rupture might have generated the 1755 CE earthquake (
