Scientists have only found a small number of records of flashes of light in the sky associated with tremors dating back several centuries. In different accounts, eyewitnesses describe earthquake predictors in different ways: from bright second flashes to minute-long fireballs of different colors appearing high and low in the sky.
What is known about the earthquake in Morocco< /h3>
The powerful earthquake in Morocco has already killed 2,862 people and injured another 2,562. The number of victims may increase because most of the earthquake zone is located in inaccessible areas where searches are difficult. Also, the Moroccan authorities have not yet published data on the number of missing people.
According to UNICEF, about 100 thousand children were injured as a result of the earthquake. The organization said it did not know exactly how many children were killed or injured.
Representatives from Spain, Great Britain and Qatar joined the search and rescue operation.
An earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred at a depth from 11 to 18 kilometers in the Atlas Mountains on September 8. This is despite the fact that such natural disasters occur quite rarely in North Africa.
