Title probably needs to be updated, they're sadly at 820 dead now.
More than 1,000 now.
1,305 now
Over 2,000.
Atlas mountains where it happened are partially the product of the African plate ramming into the Eurasian plate. Previously they were built up after ramming into the eastern US and creating the Appalachian mountains.
623 dead so far
Dumb question but: is Morocco anything like the Gerudo town in Zelda BOTW?
A little bit, but not everywhere. Closer to the Sahara desert yes and Ouarzazate where some famous movies have been made.
But there are also forests with monkeys, mountains, pastures, canyons and cities with busy markets.
That's so cool, thanks!
Probably moldugas
