Hello everyone as this being my first blog ever and all I figure i should i introduce my self, I am Rachel and the country i chose is Greece. Greece sits on what is called The Aegean Plate. Where Greece is specifically located on the Hellenic Volcanic Arc. This places Greece at one of the most seismically active areas. It sits right between on of the highest stressed parts between the African and Eurasian plates. Greece sits on one of the most historically active plates making this a huge hazard they must watch out for. I look forward to further researching Greece and its possible hazards.
