Tsunami “harbour wave” in Japanese

  A series of ocean waves generated by a large-scale disturbance   Most are generated by vertical movement such as subduction zones   Watch clip and answer a.) what can trigger a tsunami?   rks/230-how-tsunamis-work-video.htm rks/230-how-tsunamis-work-video.htm

Tsunami Wavelengths  Tsunamis arrive as a series of waves (usually 10 – 60 min)  Waves are 1 meter high in open ocean, and 6 – 15 meters high along coasts

Tsunami WARNINGS  Coastlines can channel waves, i.e Japan and Hawaii  Ocean basin topography can slow a tsunami down (friction)

Tsunami Speed – controlled by Ocean depth. In less than 24 hours, a tsunami can cross the entire Pacific Ocean. (Source owlnet.rice.edu)

Watch clip and answer.  1. What are some warning signs for a tsunami?  2. What is ‘drawdown’ and how does it work? 

Tsunami Warning System Pacific Warning Centre

1.) Sensor on ocean floor detects pressure change) is sent to buoy 2.) message (on ocean surface is received 3.) message sent to satellite 4.) Satellite informs warning centre
