Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Morocco.
Facing the Atlantic and Mediterranean
Morocco occupies the northwestern corner of Africa, facing the Atlantic and Mediterranean and looking across the Strait of Gibraltar toward Europe. Coastal cities and ports benefit from maritime winds. Its position links Africa, Europe and the Atlantic.
[1]The Atlas Mountains
The Rif rises in the north and the Atlas ranges cross central Morocco. High peaks receive winter snow and supply rivers. Moist air loses rain and snow on mountain slopes, producing strong contrasts between the northwest and the drier southeast.
[1]The Sahara beyond the mountains
Southeast beyond the Atlas, the landscape shifts toward dry steppe and Sahara desert. Many rivers vary seasonally, while oases use groundwater and river water for farming. The sequence from coast to mountain to desert reveals how relief controls rain and water.
