Extreme Weather

Morocco is known as a subtropical country but certain parts of the country have extreme seasonal weather. The coastal cities usually experience moderate temperatures. However, the inland cities experience very hot weather in the summer due to the geography. Humidity plays a big part in the weather during the summers. The humidity can make the summers much hotter. The humidity in the winter months makes the weather feel much cooler in the coastal regions. Winter is the season for rain but there is very little rainfall during the year in Morocco.

Mass Wasting

Morocco has a region which is known for having many landslides. The Zoumi sector of the Moroccan Rif was used in a study because of the frequency and distribution of the landslides that take place. The idea behind the study was to create a susceptibility map. This map will assist in providing needed information to better plan, protect the people and property when it comes to the rebuilding of structures and roads after the occurrence of such mass movements.

 

The location of the Rif area made it a little difficult to map. Here is the article which discuss the Mapping of Mass Movements Susceptibility right click here
