Tsunami Hazard and Area Vulnerability of Mohammedia City in Morocco - Simulation on the Reference Tsunami 1755

EasyChair Preprint 8665, version 2

Abstract

The Atlantic coast of Morocco was exposed to the threat of the tsunami and is still threatened by it as a result of earthquakes that occur at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and the city of Mohammedia is located on the Atlantic coast and is an important coastal city that has the largest oil deposits in Morocco and the petroleum port, and important residential neighborhoods. For this reason, we will try in this article to study the possibility of a tsunami occurring in this city using geographic information systems, and also based on a basic reference to a tsunami that had previously occurred in these areas and was strong, namely the tsunami of 1755 resulting or what is known as the Lisbon earthquake. In the end, let's draw a map of the danger that would result if such a wave occurred at the present time.
