Flora

The mountainous regions of Morocco contain extensive areas of forest, including large stands of cork oak, evergreen oak, juniper, cedar, fir, and pine.
Except for areas under cultivation, the plains are usually covered with scrub brush and alfa grass.
On the plain of Sous, near the southern border, is a large forest of argan, thorny trees found principally in Morocco

Natural ressources

Morocco is still chiefly an agrarian society but mineral resources, including phosphates, iron, lead, manganese, silver, tin, zinc, coal and petroleum are also mined.

Climat

The Moroccan coastal climate is moderate and subtropical, cooled by the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The average temperature hovers at around 20°C.
In the interior the temperatures are more extreme -- winters can be quite cold and the summers very hot. In the mountain ranges temperatures can drop to 0°F and mountain peaks in both the Atlas and Rif mountain ranges are snow capped throughout most of the year.
The winter in the north of the country is wet and rainy. Winter in the south at the edge of the Moroccan Sahara is dry and bitter cold.

Topographie

Morocco has four distinct geographic regions:

The Rif mountains in the north which rise as high as 2,440m (8,000ft), parallel the Mediterranean coast.

The Atlas Mountains extend across the country southwest to northeast between the Atlantic Ocean and the Rif. The highest mountain in North Africa is Jebel Toubkal (4165m/13,665ft), located in the Great Atlas.

An arc of wide coastal plains extend along the country's western seaboard, bounded by the Rif and Atlas Mountain Range. Most Moroccans inhabit this region.

Lowlands south of the Atlas merge with the Sahara along the southeastern borders of the country.
Morocco has many rivers, the chief of which are the Moulouya, which flows into the Mediterranean Sea, and the Sebou, which flows into the Atlantic.
