no single natural disaster in Nigeria but we have both natural & artificial political disastrous disasters!

Wow I use to think earthquakes don't happen in Africa

RIP to the dead

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

South Africa last month, Morocco this month, meanwhile Nigerian citizen still battling with human error, under the leadership challenges

Magnitude 6.8 the epicentre would look like a war zone.

South Africa Had earthquake last month?

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. May God grant their souls external rest and comfort their families.

can someone tell me the comon causes of earthquakes

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!!😊🥰🥰

God abeg no purnish Nigeria with earth quake but rather continue using TINUBU to suffer and purnish us for our sins 🙏🙏

Must we be punished? 🙄

Ahmed0336:
What!!!
Earthquake in Africa?

My prayers are with Morocco in this trying times

Morocco is not Africa they are Arab people

GODPUNISHALABI:
Omo earthquake don dey come Africa

Morocco have a long history when it comes to earthquakes

Oh boy that's large, our own problem na leaders n not natural disasters

They are worse than some natural disasters.

Oh boy that's large, our own problem na leaders n not natural disasters

Leadership is our own natural disaster gangan.

The Most High is shaking the Earth. He has descended from His Heavenly Throne.

can someone tell me the comon causes of earthquakes

faults 9r cracks from the tectonic plates

Please heavenly father in heaven heal them and console the broken.

🙄🙄

My condolences to His Royal Majesty King Mohammed V and the great people of Morocco on this tragedy.
May the world rally round to lend help to such a lovely country and peaceful people at this time of their trials.

More like the removal of oil causing the erosion and landslide when the earth tries to resettle. Maybe that’s why there is so much erosion in South South and South East.

Kingosytex:
An earthquake of 6.8 magnitude in Africa? From a few tremors here and there to an earthquake of this magnitude. Times are fast changing. Almost 300 souls gone just like that? 😭😭😭
This life is a mystery. We're here today, and gone tomorrow.
My thoughts and prayers are with their respective families!

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

of course last three weeks

In the same location (Nigeria)? Pre and Post Cretaceous? I will look more into this.

You must have studied Geology or Geophysics in university. Kudos!

May their souls rest in peace

In morrocco they experienced earthquake 😲😲😲
