Not all of Greece is on the Eurasian Plate

Some part of this country is

on a small continent

called Aegean Sea Plate

Where is Greece?

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

Why is there many Earthquakes in Greece?

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

Wheather in Greece

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

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

1. Check the safety with objects which can fall by Earthquakes

◦ Block the falling objects by using tools

Preparation: Three Steps to the Earthquake Safety

2. Make plans when Earthquakes happened

◦ Learn how to make you safe◦ Make evacuation plan

Three Steps to the Earthquake Safety

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…

Three Steps to the EarthquakeSafety

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

Protection: How to Reduce more Impact from Earthquake

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

Technologies to Reduce Impact

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

Technologies to Reduce Impact

Over all there are many ways to prepare

and protect your selves from Earthquakes.

Still Scientists are inventing new

technologies to help the world
