Hello Everyone!

I am finally in Tangar, the very north city in Morocco. It's actually raining today, but its a nice rain since it is warm. I won't get sunburn! Anyways, to the scientific stuff. Tangar is right smack in the middle of another divergent boundary. It's between the Eurasian plate and the African plate. There is earthquake activity around here at fracture zones along mid-ocean ridges. That's why Tangar is such a earthquake susceptible area. All this seismic activity is caused by the African tectonic plate pushing the European-Asian plate northwards and eastwards at approximately 1cm every year.You don't want to be in Tangar or southern Spain when an earthquake hits!

Thank you for your time! More blogs coming in the future!
