Pacific Tsunami Warning Center

seabed for nearly 10 minutes. It was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. This submarine earthquake, provided the initial disturbance in the height of the ocean’s surface. For a short time after the earthquake, the motion of the tsunami was governed by a linear wave pattern, until it entered shallower coastal regions where it became large and destructive as it approached the shore. A Linear pattern is repeated indefinitely in either direction along a line.…

should continue to study these earthquakes inside and out to gain knowledge on earthquake forecasting, causes, effects, processes, and mitigation. Mathematical models such as MOST can be used to model and recreate tsunamis by inputting information on bathymetry an d initial tsunami propagation conditions into non linear shallow water equations with spherical coordinates (Fritz, et.al., 2011). Recent data previously interpreted to be seismic noise is now considered by seismic geologists to…

Hawaii’s location in relation to the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and it’s volcanoes, Hawaii is at great risk of tsunamis and earthquakes. As previously stated, Hawaii has volcanoes; most notably, Kilauea. Kilauea is an active volcano that could cause serious property damage and could be harmful to life. In accordance with a Hawaiian travel guide, Hawaii records about one tsunami per year and a damaging tsunami every seven years. These tsunamis are usually triggered by a coastal or oceanic…

magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami with waves peaking at 17 meters hit Japan on March 11, 2011. Three of the reactors at Fukushima overheated because the cooling systems failed after a tsunami flooded the power station and disabled the reactor cooling system which causing core meltdowns and make reactors impossible to restart . This was compounded by hydrogen gas explosions and released large amounts of radioactive material into the air, and the releases continue to this day. The accident…

Indonesia’s Tsunami Challenges: While others are trying to achieve world peace, I convince that Indonesia still needs to struggle reconsolidating with the nature. This consolidation refers to keeping the nature preserved from desolation while the society lives in peaceful minds being safe from disasters. According to Yulianto, et al. (2009), disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, etc. are part of God’s gift along with the earth (including minerals, oil, gas, etc.) that both…

shortage of energy or fuels; increased cost, disruption of supply or shortage of ingredients, other raw materials or packaging materials; changes in laws and regulations relating to beverage containers and packaging; significant additional labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the availability of our products; an inability to protect our information systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data or breaches of security; unfavorable general economic conditions in the…
