 Ukraine has a medium earthquake hazard, with a a 10 percent chance of a damaging earthquake in the next 50 years and about 20% of Ukraine is considered to be seismically hazardous and 22 perfect of the population live in these areas. Ukraine's seismic network includes 18 seismic stations and fourteen complex geophysical stations. The oldest station is the Lviv station which was established in 1899 and the Kiev station was created in 1994 and is part of the global seismic network. The seismicity map tells me that in Ukraine the earthquakes in the area are located in different parts of the country which is close to Kyiv a town or community that is there. The measures I will need to have is to make sure all the areas of Kyiv and Lviv are all being accounted for and making sure to find why is it happening since Ukraine has had earthquakes in the past they are less likely to occur and that is why  they are not that much resources you need to find a situation to this problem.

Ukraine risks of extreme weather events

Image
Ukraine has  Ukraine has extreme weather and the biggest one being flooding Nova Kakhovka dam breach in Ukraine which at that time put thousands of lives at risk June 6 is  the day that this all took place.. Making the already dire conditions faced by Ukrainian people even worse. Entire villages have been swept away. The affected communities have been cut off no water and electricity. In Ukraine two million without power due to the flooding that took place. They were four related deaths and they have been confirmed by the media. This event occurred on November 27 2023 heavy flooding took place there due to the cause of the storm  that took place.  In Ukraine flooding is by far very likely a damage to the area since all the water has been put at risk and the drinking water as well.

Week 5 Volcanoes in Ukraine

Image
 Yes Ukraine has had volcanic activity in the past and currently has one active mud volcano: Starunya mud volcano Located in in the Ivano- Frankivsk region, this mud volcano is the only active volcano in Ukraine. It became active in 1977 after an earthquake in Romania's Vranca Mountains. The volcano's activity is a result of human activity, as the flooding of mines after oil reserves were exhausted caused the melting of rock wax and the heating of methane. The volcano is sensitive to earthquakes within a 3,000-6,000 km radius. Volcanic  activity in the past  Ukraine experienced volcanic activity related to the Caledonian and Hercynian orogenies. Basalt and alkaline volcanic rocks intruded into the Dnieper-Donets rift zone during the Hercynian orogeny.  In the past Ukraine has had volcanic activity.
