Some of the
hazards include avalanches in the snowy mountains. Also in the south sandstorms
occur. In the winter time the disasters that occur are floods from heavy
rainfall. One of the major catastrophe’s in Morocco is earthquakes. For example
the Agadir earthquake that occurred in 1960 which registered at a 5.7
magnitude. This was a major catastrophe which led to the death of thousands of
people.
A hazard is a potential threat to human life and property. A disaster is an event that occurs over a limited time span within a defined area. A catastrophe which is a massive disaster that requires expenditure of money and years to recover.
