Describe the characteristics and explain the causes‚ of tsunamis. (8 marks) A Tsunami is a large and potentially destructive sea wave often produced by a submarine earthquake‚ subsidence or an underwater volcanic eruption. They occur when a large volume of water is displaced in the ocean. The characteristics of tsunamis differ slightly from normal sea waves. For one‚ they often have extremely long wave lengths‚ in deep water an initial wavelength can be up to 100km. Their amplitude contrasts with

Title: Earthquake Epicenter Lab Problem: How can we use seismic waves to determine the epicenter of an earthquake? Hypothesis: By using the arrival time of P-waves and S-waves from seismic stations‚ I can determine the epicenter of an earthquake. Data and Observations: After you have recorded the data for the seismographs you selected to review (Step 3 in the lab)‚ take a screenshot of your completed data table (or print it and send it directly to your instructor). You should also take a screenshot

features of the destruction of the Bronze-Age Island and society of Thera. The Earthquakes When the late Bronze-Age island of Thera erupted nothing truly scientific would have been known. It would have been seen as the ‘wrath of the gods’ rather than a geophysical phenomenon because of the undersea movement of the earth. Between Earthquake and Eruption The next issue for debate is the time between the earthquake and the eruption and the possible reactions of the Theran people. The proper understanding
