    Extractions: TsuInfo Alert Newsletter More Tsunami Publications Tsunami Links Tsunamis The Pacific Coast of Washington is at risk from tsunamis. These destructive waves can be caused by coastal or submarine landslides or volcanism, but they are most commonly caused by large submarine earthquakes. Tsunamis are generated when these geologic events cause large, rapid movements in the sea floor that displace the water column above. That swift change creates a series of high-energy waves that radiate outward like pond ripples. Offshore tsunamis would strike the adjacent shorelines within minutes and also cross the ocean at speeds as great as 600 miles per hour to strike distant shores. In 1946, a tsunami was initiated by an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska; in less than 5 hours, it reached Hawaii with waves as high as 55 feet and killed 173 people. Tsunami waves can continue for hours. The first wave can be followed by others a few minutes or a few hours later, and the later waves are commonly larger. The first wave to strike Crescent City, California, caused by the Alaska earthquake in Prince William Sound in 1964, was 9 feet above the tide level; the second, 29 minutes later, was 6 feet above tide, the third was about 11 feet above the tide level, and the fourth, most damaging wave was more than 16 feet above the tide level. The third and fourth waves killed 11 people. Estimates of the damage range from $7.4 million to $16 million (in 1964 dollars). That same tsunami destroyed property in many areas along the coast from Alaska to California. In Washington alone, that tsunami caused $105,000 (in 1964 dollars) in damage.

    http://www.oregongeology.com/earthquakes/Coastal/TsunamiIntro.htm
    
    Extractions: The past occurrence of seismic sea waves in the Pacific Northwest has come to light with recent research that matches records from Japan with carbon-isotope-14 data from wood buried in tsunami sands on the West Coast. Because the Japanese data are so accurate, exact dates can be given for sea wave occurrences. The date of the last large tsunami, recorded in the sands and correlated with Japanese records, was January 26, 1700. The earthquake that generated the wave registered M 9, and the ensuing tsunami destroyed coastal villages in Japan. In Oregon, prehistoric runups (i.e., how high a tsunami wave reaches above mean sea level) can be deduced with numerical methods. From such models, it was concluded that a tsunami that struck Salishan Spit in Lincoln County between 300 and 800 years ago had a runup of up to 40 feet above sea level. It is likely that the same wave probably overtopped a 16-foot-high barrier ridge at Cannon Beach and breached a 20-foot ridge at Seaside.

    Extractions: Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by major earthquakes beneath the ocean floor. Tsunamis caused by nearby earthquakes may reach the coast within minutes. When the waves enter shallow water, they may rise to devastating force. People on the beach or in low coastal areas need to be aware that a tsunami could arrive within minutes after a severe earthquake. Tsunamis also may be generated by very large earthquakes far away in other areas of the Pacific Ocean. Waves caused by these earthquakes travel at hundreds of miles per hour, reaching the Pacific Northwest several hours after the earthquake . The International Tsunami Warning System monitors ocean waves after any Pacific earthquake with a magnitude larger than 6.5. If waves are detected, warnings are issued to local authorities, who can order evacuation of low lying areas if necessary.

    Extractions: from California Geology, March 1981, Vol. 34, No. 3. TSUNAMIS By DIANE PIERZINSKI Environmental Planner Department of Conservation INTRODUCTION The earliest efforts to explain great sea waves were made in legend and story by people who lived on land that bordered the ocean. Early Greek philosophers tried to explain the huge sea waves in various ways. The Greek historian Thucydides (fifth century B. C.) attributed the waves to earthquake forces. Aristotle believed the "air element" of Greek cosmology caused earthquakes which created the huge waves. Strabo, who contributed one of the last Greek explanations, came closest to modern theory when he wrote: "For the floor [of the sea] that is saturated with water is far more easily moved and is liable to undergo more sudden changes. . . . Deluges, as we have seen, are caused by upheavals of the bed of the sea; and earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and upheavals of the submarine floor raises the sea, whereas the settling of the sea lowers the sea . . ." (Ambraseys, 1962). At this point inquiry stopped. The origin of the great sea waves was considered again in the late Renaissance period and has been of interest and concern to scientists to the present day.
