Greece is a country with many Earthquakes In the recent memory, there were magnitude 6.5 earthquake on 8th of June, 2009. http://blog.filellinas.com/?p=127 http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/ffxi mage/2008/06/09/470greece,0.jpg
3
Not all of Greece is on the Eurasian Plate Some part of this country is on a small continent called Aegean Sea Plate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F ile:Plates_tect2_en.svg
4
Earthquakes happen when the major plates such as African, Eurasian and Arabian Plates move and drives these small plates The major movement which causes Earthquake is that the African Plate is moving towards to North http://faculty.kutztown.e du/friehauf/plate- tectonics.jpg
5
Greece is a country with warm whether In the year, the highest temperature is 32C ゜ Lowest temperature in the year is 7C ゜ In future, temperature is raising up slowly by Global Warming
6
Greece is a very historical country There are many buildings and cities which is covered by World Heritage Site This also means that many buildings are old Some buildings dose not apply to the building codes http://sky.geocities.jp/taka200 1mtjpn/greece051.JPG
7
Predicting Earthquakes is not 100percent accurate The scientists predict Earthquakes by recognizing patterns of where and how large Earthquakes happened over many years They also predict by recognizing stresses between the continents http://www.afpbb.com/fullscreen/newsfe edslide/index?article_id=2503299
8
1.Check the safety with objects which can fall by Earthquakes ◦ Block the falling objects by using tools
9
2.Make plans when Earthquakes happened ◦ Learn how to make you safe ◦ Make evacuation plan
10
3.Make disaster kits ◦ Make a disaster kits per a person which includes: >Medical kits >Flash light >Non-perishable foods and water >toiletries >maps >Portable Radio >etc…
11
More strict building code will be needed in Greece More strong buildings such as the building with concrete is much more powerful than the buildings with woods and stones. These concrete buildings are proofed scientifically that it will decrease the strength of quake
12
In the present there are many Technologies to Reduce Impact The technology which is very useful is turning the gas off automatically, when the machine felt the quake This machine is already used all over world http://www.demand.co.jp/uploads/p ics/q_02_img.gif
13
The recent technology which is invented is: The houses which takes the power of quake and makes electricity This technology is invented in Japan and is spreading around the world
14
Over all there are many ways to prepare and protect your selves from Earthquakes. Still Scientists are inventing new technologies to help the world
