It is said the death toll reaches 600 now The issues with these things are, the quakes are more worst and cause more deaths when they happen in countries that rarely experience quakes like the way it was witnessed in Turkiye.. cause like for example Nigeria now..(may God forbid) if it were to happen you’ll be shocked the casualties that’s going to happen.. cause we are not prone to Quakes and so most of the buildings are not Quake proofs like are in Japan and other Quake prones Countries… May the Departed Souls Rest in Peace 2 Likes |

I don't know if proliferation of boilholes in Nigeria destroys the earth and may lead to a possible major earthquakes in the future! If this is true, then the rich and the poor and the Governors and the masses will suffer the same fate as one can't tell when and where it will happen.

ifytrik: Earthquake is a violent tremors caused by ease of piled stress in the crust which sends shockwaves on different direction. It's actually this shockwaves that causes destruction Imagine a situation where two moulded blocked placed opposite each other are being pushed together towards each other but in opposite direction (i.e block A is moving East while block B is moving west but are in towards each other meaning that a central point of the whole force will be created), it will get to a point that this blocks will start fracturing and be breaking to pieces. Reason is that Block A &B are minute when compared to With force being put Now have a broader view of it......(which is the Earth's Continental block) In this case.......the Continental block is a big mass of rock (lithosphere), therefore when there's convergence of two Continental blocks or plates, the stress/force at this point of contact can't cause the whole mass of Continental rock to break or fracture, Rather this stress can be heaved or eased or released in other forms...... Basically the SHOCKWAVES. So if there's slight movement of a plate boundary against another opposite plate boundary, the stress released is what causes this destructions and we say that earthquake has happened... This waves can practically be visualized when you throw a stone to a still water. The wave created by the stone in the water will be very high and noticeable at near point it was thrown (where the stone made contact with the water) but slowly dies off as it progresses. This is same case with Earthquake's shockwaves. It causes more destruction at the epicenter (the point at ground surface directly above the Origin in the sub surface). Now what is the Possible reason it happened Morocco?? I saw in first where someone Said Nigeria may be hit by earthquake maybe in 2040. Scientifically..... it's not possible. Nigeria is far from it. Nigeria is in a stable Continental plate (stable African plate which has contact far in Atlantic Ocean with South America plate). So earthquake possibly happened in morrocco because...... Morocco is on convergent boundaries of African, Eurasian (and other plate I can't remember). Little wonder the famous Atlas chains of mountains was formed in it Just like Himalayas of Asia. So morrocco is on unstable plate...... hence, it is possible for earthquake to occur there. Another place of possibility is in East Africa (because of rift system). I'd hope it's clearer to you. Have a blessed day!!😊🥰🥰 9 Likes 4 Shares |

Zooposki: The cause of soil erosion in SE/SS is because of the soil type they have. South West and northern Nigeria soils were formed in pre Cretaceous stage. But South East's soil were formed Post Cretaceous. So the sandy-loamy-clay soil formations in it can easily be washed away. Enugu State is little exception 5 Likes 1 Share |
