Natural Disasters in Greece

  Greece is quite known for being super active when it comes to volcanoes. Most volcanoes in Greece are somewhat still active and the most important ones are located on the Santorini Island. When sea levels drop the island rumbles as the volcanoes get ready to erupt. Greece has a total of 12 volcanoes that are ready to erupt.  Something that I found interesting was learning that Santorini tends to consist of islands surrounding the central tip of a volcano poking out of the Aegean Sea. The interesting part, is that the volcano at one point was above water but later due to an eruption during 1600 B.C. then caused the volcano to form a lagoon.  Researchers researched that when sea level tends to drop at least 40 meters below surface of the volcano the crust above the magma chamber tends to be splintered. The magma stored underneath the volcano then moves upward through the current fractures and can easily makes its appearance on the surface. I also learned that researchers made a stimula

Due to the tectonic plate that Greece has its super common to earthquakes, Greece is super common with earthquakes because it tends to be one of the most active countries. Earthquakes although they are quite mild are so common that an earthquake took place today and it was 2.3 earthquake near the Aegean Sea. There was also another one that located only 2 miles from Aliartos, Greece that was a 4.1 earthquake. I did some research and also found out that on October 30th, 2020 (not too long ago) had a super strong earthquake that was 7.0 killing at least 80 individuals. Due to the placement of Greece people refer to it as a "box" due to the volcanos that are scattered which would make it difficult to find shelter, earthquakes have a strong potential due to the volcanoes that are still active and even if tend to be monitored by scientists the Nysrios Volcano is still likely to erupt because of how common volcanoes are. Most earthquakes that tend to strike Greece have epicenters wh
