          Italy has been frequent to to earthquakes, last year resulting in another massive earthquake. Recently there has been movement in the African and Eurasian Plates, which according to the article it is believed this is why Italy has been prone to so many earthquakes, and as well Italy has intersecting fault lines.
This is from the article, a picture of  the
aftermath of the earthquake in Italy















       Here in England there has been many frequent storms, the last one being in December in Scotland called Storm Conor. Due to it, England has had a cold winter and been effected as well with bad weather than it has in the past few years. The earthquake in Italy connects to England, as both sit on the Eurasian Plate, which means that since Italy had a earthquake then the plate must have shifted, this effecting the UK as well.
