When was the last tsunami in Hawaii?
Saturday February 27, 2010. An 8.8 earthquake hit Chile and a Tsunami warning was issued for all of Hawaii. A series of smaller waves up to 6 feet travelled to the islands later in the day. With the early warning, everyone was safely evacuated to higher ground and damage was minimal.
Difference between a tsunami watch and warning?
well i think it is where you leave the place and go to another place :P
How do you prevent a tsunami from happening?
We can help prevent tsunamis by putting up Sea walls, Earthquake detection systems and have household Insurance encase a tsunami hits you ! +++ Sorry - but rubbish! The questioner wanted to know how to prevent a tsunami. No-one can. Their causes are far beyond human control or influence, and the best anyone can do is try to minimise the effects by warning systems, sea-walls and simply by not building anything where a tsunami might hit it. (Similarly, by not removing natural break-waters like mangrove swamps.)
How can you reduce a tsunami?
You cannot reduce a tsunami. Just like other natural calamities like earthquake and volcanic eruptions, you cannot predict or reduce it. However, you can reduce its impact by taking protective measures outlined by responsible authorities.
How does a seismograph prevent the effect of a an earthquake?
A seismograph itself cannot prevent the effect of an earthquake. It is an instrument that measures and records seismic waves generated by an earthquake. The data collected by seismographs helps scientists study and understand earthquakes, which in turn can contribute to improved building codes and earthquake-resistant infrastructure. Preventing the effect of an earthquake requires engineering solutions such as designing structures to withstand seismic forces or implementing early warning systems.
Did scientists detect the earthquake in the 2004 tsunami in time to warn people?
yes but there was not an early warning system so they could not tell the people.
Where did a recent tsunami that happen in the US?
Perhaps the most famous, and possibly the last major tsunami in the USA was from the 1964 Alaska earthquake with a resulting tsunami hitting Alaska, and traveling as far a Hawaii and the Oregon/Washington coast.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Alaska_earthquakehttp://ezinearticles.com/?Alaska-Earthquake-and-Tsunami,-1964&id=9558Another Tsunami was the Lituya Bay, Alaska Tsunami in 1958.http://geology.com/records/biggest-tsunami.shtmlSince the Alaska Earthquake in 1964 and the resulting Tsunami, the West Coast of the USA has had a Tsunami early warning system with emergency evacuation plans. There have been a couple of alarms from earthquakes, but no significant waves.Unfortunately, due to human nature, many people flocked to the coast after recent tsunami warnings.
Was there a tsunami threat in early July 2011?
On July 7, 2011, a large earthquake in the Kermadec Islands region had New Zealand on tsunami alert. It was canceled, however, after scientists looked at deep ocean wave data.
