• Earthquakes of this nature are not uncommon in Britain (the island including England, Scotland and Wales).
• However, there are occasional earthquakes in Britain that have the potential to be destructive.
• Most earthquakes in Britain are concentrated within a north-to-south band on the west side of the island.
• This makes the tectonic plate under Ireland much less likely to deform – a process that can trigger earthquakes.

Ireland’s missing earthquakes

• Even before earthquakes were recorded by seismographs as they are today, reports of earthquakes were documented in various towns and monasteries across Britain and Ireland.
• In the mid-19th century, Robert Mallet, an Irish scientist credited with coining the term “seismology”, created earthquake maps based on these reports.

Intraplate earthquakes

• Most earthquakes happen at plate boundaries where tectonic plates converge, diverge or slide past each other.
• Earthquakes that occur in the interior of the plates are much less common and typically smaller in magnitude.
• Between 1811 and 1812, the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central US experienced a sequence of powerful earthquakes, ranging from magnitude 7 to 8.

Through thick and thin

• Research that I co-authored in 2021 discovered previously unknown variations in the structure of the tectonic plate that both Britain and Ireland sit on.
• Tectonic plates are cold and rigid compared to the hot, slowly creeping mantle beneath them.
• Ireland has a relatively thick lithosphere (around 95-115km beneath most of the island) and very few earthquakes as a result.
• South-eastern England and eastern Scotland have a similarly thick lithosphere.
