Natural Disasters in Greece

Greece is known for having extreme weather which results into various risks. Some risks were due to snowfalls occurring that led to day long power outages. Other risks involve heat waves. These heat waves have caused wild fires that have spread so fast affecting homes and forests. Also due to the heat waves Greece was expected to see sea level rising due to the temperature and climate change intensifying water cycles which leads to intense rainfalls that are then associated with flooding in low lying areas.  In an article called “climate change report…” it states the following, Changes to the ocean, including warming, more frequent marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, and reduced oxygen levels have been clearly linked to human influence. These changes affect both ocean ecosystems and the people that rely on them, and they will continue throughout at least the rest of this century. A total of 234 scientists and 14,000 reports came together to create the report.” (Pg. 5.). Meaning that

  For this week I will be discussing the "mass wasting" events about Greece. In this country various individuals are forced to deal with what is called mass wasting, due to the location of Greece landslides, rock falls, mudslides, and etc are super common which this leads to damaging homes and even roads. This typically occurs when gravitational pull is pushing down the rocks down cliffs. Sometimes what can also be the cause is the way mountains are formed/shaped in Greece, in Greece the mountains tend to have not just hard but also soft rocks which can make cliffs be not as stabled and prone to hazards. Just how every other country is trying to find ways to prevent these hazards, Greek authorities have tried finding solutions such as; adding reinforced steel fencing and adding nests around the cliffs. Often times when you visit hiking trails it's for the exact same reason to prevent those who are visiting tourist spots especially Greece that is super known for having a h
