Plate Boundaries
Sweden is not near any boundaries. The closest boundary that it is near is "over 1,000 km away" (www.stralsakerhetsmyndigheten.se). It is very rare for an earthquake to be felt in Sweden.
Extreme Weather In Sweden
Emily Stroud October 23, 2020 Sweden's Climate Changes This week, as stated above, I will be talking about Sweden's climate changes. Surprisingly, Sweden doesn't actually have very many tornadoes, thunder storms, blizzards ect., however, it does get very extreme weather, ranging from 72 to 73ºF in the Summer, and 32º to -22ºF in the winter. About 15% of Sweden is above the Arctic Circle, and from late May to mid-July, there is no break from sunlight. Just imagine trying to sleep with sun still pouring through your windows at 12 AM! Also, according to britannica.com , even all the way in Stockholm, Sweden's capitol, only a few hours during the night get, not dark, but "semidark". Interestingly enough, during the middle of December, even Lapland, north of Sweden, has nearly 20 hours of the day pitch black, leaving 4 hours of the day in twilight, while Stockholm gets 5.5 hours of light during December. Why am I talk...
Hi Emily!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty amazed that it is rare for Sweden to experience earthquakes since they are not near plate boundaries. To me, living near San Andreas Fault, it has always seemed to me that every country can at one point feel earthquakes but it makes sense now after I looked over your Sweden blog that there are areas that just do not experience them!
Great and simple post,

Hello Emily, Sweden sits on the Eurasian Tectonic Plate . I picked the United Kingdom for my country and it also sits on the Eurasian Plate. Both of these countries are far enough from any plate boundaries, and have only small earthquakes, no tsunamis, and no active volcanoes.
ReplyDeleteHello again Emily, I forgot to say on my post above that you presented a nice post, very informative.
