Hey everyone! Did you hear about the earthquakes happening in Santorini? π Santorini is a beautiful island in Greece, famous for its stunning sunsets and white buildings with blue roofs. But lately, it’s been shaking!
On February 6, the government declared a state of emergency after hundreds of undersea earthquakes shook the island. The biggest earthquake was a magnitude 5.2, which happened a day before the emergency was declared. That’s pretty strong! π₯
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move and release energy. Undersea earthquakes can sometimes cause big waves called tsunamis, but no waves have been reported so far. The people on the island are staying safe and alert.
If you have friends or family there, make sure to check in on them! Let’s send positive vibes to everyone in Santorini. π
