3. AL-JABAL AL-AKHDAR EAST OF LIBYA.<br />

Ò The other destructive earthquake<br />

was at Old Marje City (Al-Jabal<br />

Al-Akhdar ). In 1963, a<br />

magnitude of 5.8 earthquake<br />

occurred <strong>in</strong> the region. The city<br />

was damaged completely<br />

because of the site effects<br />

(alluvial soils and the shallow<br />

water table ). About 600 peoples<br />

reported killed.
