  2. Greece • Greece is a country with many Earthquakes • In the recent memory, there were magnitude 6.5 earthquake on 8th of June, 2009. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/ffximage/2008/06/09/470greece,0.jpg http://blog.filellinas.com/?p=127

  3. Where is Greece? • 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/File:Plates_tect2_en.svg

  4. Why is there many Earthquakes in Greece? • Earthquakes happen when the major plates such as African, Eurasian and Arabian Plates move and drive Aegean Sea plates • The major movement which causes Earthquake is that the African Plate is moving towards North http://faculty.kutztown.edu/friehauf/plate-tectonics.jpg

  5. Wheather 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

  6. Greece Comunite • Greece is a very historical country • There are many buildings and cities which are recognized by World Heritage Site • This also means that many buildings are old • Some buildings do not apply to the building codes http://sky.geocities.jp/taka2001mtjpn/greece051.JPG

  7. Predicting Earthquakes • 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/newsfeedslide/index?article_id=2503299

  8. Preparation: Three Steps to the Earthquake Safety 1. Check the safety with objects which can fall by Earthquakes • Block the falling objects by using tools

  9. Three Steps to the Earthquake Safety 2. Make plans when Earthquakes happened • Learn how to make you safe • Make evacuation plan

  10. Three Steps to the EarthquakeSafety 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. Protection: How to Reduce more Impact from Earthquake • 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. Technologies to Reduce Impact • 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/pics/q_02_img.gif

  13. 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
