What are we going to do?
  •  Talk about and organize the previous installments
  • Clarify what’s left to hand over.
Earthquakes:
Earthquakes can’t be prevented. They can’t be measured in a detailed way either; all the scales we have to describe them are subjective, or relative, never exact. Earthquakes aren’t dangerous as such, but they provoke tsunamis, fires (because of gas explosions) and volcanoes explosions, which actually kill and hurt people and damage buildings and landscapes.
   We don’t have a lot of earthquakes in Catalonia, but they are more usual in places like Murcia or Italy (mostly the south) because they are near plate tectonics borders.
   The most devastating damage ever provoked by an earthquake occurred in Crete: a volcano erupted because of the earth-shaking movement that broke the internal layers of the volcano and made it explode.

  • Decide how would we deal with the geologists problem and account for why would we lock them up or why we wouldn’t.
  • Discuss about and organize the previous ideas.
  • We receive more information about the case (newspaper articles of the moment).
  • How would we end with the case and why.
