List of earthquakes in Morocco

This is a list of significant earthquakes that either had their epicentre in Morocco or had a significant impact in the country.

Seismicity in Morocco

Northern Morocco lies close to the boundary between the African and Eurasian plates, the Azores–Gibraltar transform fault. This zone of right-lateral strike-slip becomes transpressional at its eastern end, with the development of large thrust faults. To the east of the Strait of Gibraltar, in the Alboran Sea, the boundary becomes collisional in type. Most of the seismicity in Morocco is related to movement on that plate boundary, with the greatest seismic hazard in the north of the country, close to the boundary.
