Why did the great Lisbon earthquake happen?

The Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 occurred due to the tectonic movements along the boundary of the Eurasian and African plates. It is believed to have been triggered by a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate is forced under another, leading to significant seismic activity. The earthquake, estimated to have a magnitude of around 8.5 to 9.0, caused widespread destruction in Lisbon and generated a devastating tsunami, profoundly impacting European society and philosophy at the time.
