What caused the earthquake in Morocco? Is there a connection with the one in Turkey? And are earthquakes impossible to predict? Expert responds | Powerful earthquake in Morocco

Just like in Turkey last February, the residents of Morocco can only clear dead mountains and rubble, after a strong earthquake measuring 6.8 occurred this morning about 70 kilometers outside Marrakesh. Two major earthquakes in a relatively short time in the same (large) Mediterranean area. Is that still a coincidence? We asked experienced seismologist Manuel Sintubin (KU Leuven). “In North-East Limburg it is in principle also possible to experience an earthquake of 6.5.”
