Processes that generate tsunami (5)
|
1. earthquakes
2.volcanic eruptions 3. fast moving landslides or rockfalls 4. volcanic flank collapse 5. asteroid imact |
|
|
Physical characteristics of tsunami in open ocean
|
height few meters high
more than 200 miles long (wavelength) high velocity |
|
|
Physical characteristics of tsunami on shore
|
speed slows to 45 mph at coast
too fast to outrun wave height increases wall of fast moving water |
|
|
tsunami warning systems
|
seismographs around pacific ocean
system of pressure sensors look for passage of tsunami (detect changes in water level associated with passage of large wave) |
|
|
tsunami potentional- canary islands
|
shows evidence of repeated giant landslides
last collapse 170,000 yrs ago would reach US in 6-9 hrs create wall fo water bigger than 5 story building |
|
|
tsunami potential-hawaii
|
evidence of huge waves striking
landslides and tsunami recurrrnece interval 100,000 yrs part of island is moving towards ocean |
|
|
process that cause rock to melt
|
increased temp
decreased pressure increase in water content |
|
|
why magma erupts
|
liquids are less dense then solids so magma rises up
|
|
|
properties of magmas
|
basalt- low silica, black, not a lot fo damage
andesite-gray, medium damage rhyolite-white, more damage |
|
|
plate tectonic setting of volcanoes
|
spreading zones (mid ocean ridges), subduction zones (convergent boundaries), and hotspots
|
|
|
types of volcanoes
|
shield volcaoes, cinder cones, strato, lava dome, caldera
|
|
|
8 states w high hazard level of volcanoes
|
OR, WA, CA, ID, NV, AZ, NM, WY
|
|
|
hazards associated w lava flows
|
pyroclastic material, fire particles
|
|
|
hazards associated w lahars
|
mix of ash and water, very hot and fast, many deaths
|
|
|
hazards associated w ash
|
composed of glass and rims of gas bubble, blown across far distances, can cause silicosis (cause lungs to scar)
|
|
|
precursors of volcanic eruptions
|
seismographic record small earthquakes, tilting of volcanoes
|
|
|
volcanic hazards in seattle
|
11 eruptions in past 10,000 yrs, ash fall, mudflows
|
|
|
volcanic hazards in italy
|
vesuvius- explosive volcano w long history of eruption and surrounded by urban center of 5 million people
|
|
|
vectors
|
show direction of force and little arrows means not pushing hard
|
|
|
factors controlling strength of geolocial materials
|
cohesion and friction
|
|
|
cohesion
|
strength component independent of weight of failure block on slip surface
caused by stickiness due to clay materials and surface tension of water |
|
|
friction
|
related to load(weight) of material perpendicular to surface of movement, water reduces friction
|
|
|
how water influences friction and material strength
|
reduces frictional strength b/c buoyancy reduces effect of weight of objects on surface of movement, materials submerged in water have less frictional strength
|
|
|
strength influenced by layering, fractures
|
cause zones of lower strength (weakness)
daylighted beds- layers exposed by roadcuts and other excavation |
|
|
causes of slope failure
|
– Gravitational “loading” vs strength (resistance to failure)
– Loading from: construction, slope steepening, earthquakes – Decreasing strength: adding water, removing vegetation, geological weathering |
|
|
types of downslope movements
|
– Rockfall, debris avalanches and flows, rotational slumps, lateral spreading slides
|
|
|
criteria for identifying ancient landslides
|
morphology- presense of a scarp and lumpy topography
internal structure of landslide deposits |
|
|
geologic dating methods for landslides
|
law of superposition, dating by tree rings
|
|
|
landslide hazard map
|
location of weak rocks, steep slopes
|
|
|
engineering solutions
|
– Increase the strength of hillslope materials
• Reduce water content • Bolt materials in place • Reinforce the toe of the slope – Divert and trap rockfalls, debris flows, and other types of landslides |
|
|
what are sinkholes
|
holes that open up in ground-> caves that expands to reach ground surface
|
|
|
how do sinkholes form
|
as subterraneon openings get bigger, thei roofs collapse causing a hole to develop in ground
|
|
|
a US state that faces landslide hazard
|
florida
|
|
|
what fluids are removed that cause subsidence?
|
oil and water
|
|
|
- Why subsidence occurs when fluids are withdrawn from the ground.
|
the pores in the aquifer are squeezed together and lowers the ground
|
|
|
- How subsidence can be caused by draining organic soils
|
organic material wil be exposed to atmosphere resulting in decay and platn deposit starts to fall apart which lowers the ground
|
|
|
- Be able to list 1 or 2 states with significant hazards from subsidence.
