Rosalinda's Thoughts

 Greece has what is known as a Mediterranean climate, that means mild and wet winters in the island regions and cold winters with heavy snowfalls in area with more mountains (central area) in the northern regions it is very hot dry summers.   I will be focusing on Greece heat crisis, in the year 2023 they hit their record long heat wave that lasted sixteen days which caused Europes largest wildfire during July through August. Twenty eight people were killed and dozens were injured, this year August 11, 2024 a fire started in the forest due to repeated heatwaves near Varnava Village.   This is mainly happening in southeastern Europe and around the Mediterranean (Europe is the fastest warming continent). With dry and strong winds that creates forest fires because the air is dry. Then there is the Etesians, wind coming from the North blowing over the Aegean Sea which helps Greec a little bit but can also worsen fire conditions.  Greece takes the climate change...

  There are different types of Mass Movement those being mudslides, rock falls, debris flows, earth flows, and landslides. These movements on land can occur from slump (rotations landslide), soil slip (translational landslide), and rock slide (Lateral spread). They will all look different and happen because of gravity and the way it is pulling on land.   On April 27, 2024 a landslide occurred on Therasia, an island on Greece. Although their was no damage done and no one got hurt, it can feel really scary watching a landslide happen. This island is prone to landslides because of steep slopes, high seismicity, and the island having interlayered volcanic lava along with pyroclastic rocks(formed by explosive volcanic eruptions), that causes the slope to be unstable. Below is a screenshot from a video of the landslide on the island. Some safety measure Greece takes for landslides are putting signs(in english, Greek, and French) in areas that are at risk, traffic restrictions (...
