Rosalinda's Thoughts

  Greece is located in the middle of the Eurasian Plate and African tectonic plate. Greece is known to be one of the most earthquake active country in Europe. The earthquakes go up to 7.2 inches magnitude. It was interesting find out out that Greece was in between two plate boundaries and not only one.                                          Tectonic setting of the Aegean (Papazachos et al. 1998) References: http://erasmus.ntua.gr/en/natural_phenomena/#:~:text=Greece%20is%20located%20at%20the,Plate%20and%20the%20Eurasian%20Plate. http://erasmus.ntua.gr/en/natural_phenomena/#:~:text=Greece%20is%20located%20at%20the,Plate%20and%20the%20Eurasian%20Plate.

     The country I decided on was Greece! I have always found it interesting and wish to travel there one day. Greece has many different islands and 80% of Greece is made up of mountains, one could discover so much in different islands or islets (a small island). I can't wait to read more about Greece and it's History. Hazards are when an earthquake, tornado, windstorms, etc. may occur and it can be a threat. A disaster includes a hazard but it is in a specific area and declared a state of emergency and could possibly need international help. With that being said, a catastrophe involves a hazard that really effects everything around it. It does a lot of damage to human life, wild life, and property which takes a big amount of money and time to recover.  Resources:  Introduction-Ch1 https://www.trafalgar.com/real-word/facts-greece/
