Highly populated coastal areas of Greece and Italy would be inundated if a moderately powerful earthquake in the Mediterranean triggered a tsunami, research has shown.

Scientists simulated what would happen if a magnitude 7 earthquake occurred beneath the Mediterranean sea off Sicily or Crete.

The results showed that low-lying areas up to five metres (16 feet) above sea level would be swamped by the resulting tsunami.
