Week 5- Volcanos

  Greece is made up of islands that has 35 volcanoes but only five are active, based on the Global Volcanism Program database there are four Holocene volcanoes. Two of those volcanoes have been active since 1800 CE but none have been active since 1960 CE and zero have currently erupted.  Greece also has seven pleistocene volcanoes.  Although there has not been an eruption in Greece in a very long time, there has been increased activity in the past ten years. They have systems set in play to get monitoring volcanic activity in order to stay updated and give warnings.  They have a system called  Geo- spatial warning systems Nisyros volcano(Greece). This case study started on December 31,2002. It has been proven when monitoring measurable changes in geophysical and geochemical parameters gives early warnings. The systems job is to have correlations, stimulations, and modeling in a graphically accurate way using real time monitored data in 4D. Mode. Those results wi...

Week 3- Earthquakes and Seismic Waves

  Earthquakes occur everyday in different areas of the world, it is incredible how they occur but also consider the importance of how some countries can be ready and safe. A country that is prone to Earthquakes should take precautions and be informed on how they can improve or create a protocol to be set in place. Based on the new seismicity map, Earthquakes occur mainly in Crete, Greece which is an Island in Greece. There have been  six earthquakes between the months of August 7 - August 28 of 2024. There have been two in Greece from the dates August 26 - September 2 of 2024. Out of those Earthquakes the highest Magnitude is 4.9 (Mw 5.0) and the Depth was 10km. The Mw stands for moment magnitude and it is to measure large earthquakes in order to get a proper estimate. That is according to how much energy is being released.   In Europe Greece is placed as number one in seismicity and it is placed sixth place globally! Greece is made up of many islands, the biggest ea...
