Earthquake Analysis Answer Key

This worksheet asks students to answer geographic reasoning questions about earthquakes in Greece using complete sentences. Students explain why Greece is highly earthquake-prone, how tectonic plates contribute to seismic activity, and the unique challenges earthquakes pose for city planning. They also explore how earthquakes threaten cultural heritage sites and what strategies modern Greek cities use to protect people and historic locations. The final prompt encourages students to compare the difficulty of protecting ancient sites versus modern buildings. This activity builds understanding of natural hazards, strengthens critical thinking, and reinforces application of geographic evidence.
