Near Ouarzazate, me and @cobic have just met Czech cyclist Mirek and Slovenian cyclist Katya, who travel all around the world on their bicycles and live on the road and work as artists. I have introduced them to Mastodon and they are now @Cyclingnomads on our #fcz instance...
So if you want Cycling Nomads in Fediverse instead of just on Facebook, don't hesitate and follow @Cyclingnomads !
Meet Heliopeltis, one of Morocco’s strangest Devonian trilobites.
This 400-million-year-old critter had a small body, large eyes, and long spines. Scientists think its unusual body design indicates that this species floated on gentle ocean currents
Earthquakes are difficult to predict and cannot be avoided. However, we can mitigate their impact. The best way to minimise earthquake damage is to improve seismic building design codes to withstand the highest possible seismic activity.
#Spain has sent a plane with 56 rescuers and four search / rescue #dogs to quake-hit Morocco after it received a formal request for help from Rabat, according to the defence ministry.

Based on the current pattern of #aftershocks (from IPMA, in purple), it appears the M6.9 #Morocco#earthquake may have ruptured towards the NE. This #directivity could have increased the ground motion (and #damage) in Marrakesh.
Continuing my quest to post a picture of every cat in Morocco to the Internet, here is another photo of a Moroccan cat, this time from Marrakesh. Don't worry, I have more.
We just had an earthquake. Never felt anything like it. No one knows what to do, all the hotel guests are milling about outside and we can’t see any staff. We’re OK but dare not go back in the building. Really, really scary, especially as Tom was on the other side of the grounds. We just had another little shake while I’m typing. According to Google it was only 5.7, thank god, but there were cracks and fallen plaster in our building. As I say, we’re OK, I just needed to express how scary this situation is #Morocco#MoroccoEarthquake
"#Morocco’s harvest of three main grains, soft #wheat, #durum, and #barley, dropped 43% to 3.12 million tons in 2024, due to a severe #drought that slashes cultivated areas."
Le menhir d'Ussano à Cavallino di Lecce, en Italie. On trouve une tripotée de menhirs dans la province de Lecce, tout au bout des Pouilles. De façon intéressante, beaucoup ont été resculptés par la suite en forme de colonne.
Cromlech de M'zora, Maroc : enceinte mégalithique de près de 200 menhirs (dont le plus grand atteint plus de 5 m) entourant un tumulus d'une cinquantaine de mètres de diamètre. L'enceinte est très nettement antérieure au tumulus.
