"Unexplained Lights in Morocco Earthquake Videos Puzzle Scientists"

Strange lights, known as earthquake lights, have been reported for centuries and were recently captured on video before a 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Morocco. Scientists have long been puzzled by these lights, which can take various forms such as lightning-like flashes or glowing spheres. While there is no consensus on the cause, theories include the generation of electricity from stressed rocks and static electricity from rock fracturing. Researchers have found that earthquake lights are more likely to occur before or during seismic events and are often observed within tectonic plates and near rift valleys. The hope is that further study of earthquake lights could potentially aid in forecasting major earthquakes.
