    Extractions: OVERVIEW Early in the morning of May 20, 1883, the captain of the German warship Elizabeth Indonesia contains over 130 active volcanoes, more than any other country on earth. They comprise the axis of the Indonesian island arc system, which is generated by northeastward subduction of the Indo-Australian plate. The great majority of these volcanoes lie along the topographic crest of the arc's two largest islands - Java and Sumatra. The islands are separated by the Sunda Straits , which is located at a distinct bend in axis of the island arc volcanoes, from a nearly east-west orientation in Java to a northwest-southeast orientation in Sumatra. Krakatau is one of a several volcanic islands in the Sunda Straits located above an active north-northeast trending fault zone, an orientation quite distinct from the main island-arc trend. Although relatively small when compared to the largest volcanoes along the island arc, Krakatau and its associated volcanoes have shown the capacity to generate highly explosive eruptions. The pre-eruption island of Kratatau was composed of three coalsced volcanoes aligned along a north-northwest direction, parallel to the volcanoes on Sumatra. From north to south, these were Perboewatan, Danan, and Rakata.

    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. One of the largest subduction zone earthquakes ever recorded was the M 9.2 quake on March 27, 1964, centered in Prince William Sound, Alaska. This generated a tsunami that struck the Oregon coast at 11:30 p.m. with waves as high as 10 feet, swamping houses, destroying bridges and sea walls, and tragically killing four children. A family was camping at Beverly Beach and sleeping in a small driftwood shelter at the time. The second wave reached them, throwing the mother out onto the beach and the father up against a cliff, while the children were washed out to sea. In March 1999, a plaque remembering the children and providing information about tsunamis was dedicated at Beverly Beach State Park.

    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: IF YOU FEEL AN EARTHQUAKE WHEN YOU ARE ON THE OREGON COAST, PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE EARTHQUAKE UNTIL IT IS OVER. THEN MOVE QUICKLY INLAND OR TO HIGH GROUND. A TSUNAMI MAY BE COMING IN A FEW MINUTES, AND ADDITIONAL LARGE WAVES MAY CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE INFORMATION IN THIS BROCHURE MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT AND SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. TSUNAMI FACTS Two kinds of tsunamis could affect the Oregon coast: Tsunamis generated by undersea earthquakes just off the Oregon coast can strike the coast within five to thirty minutes, possibly disrupting power lines and communications and leaving little time for an official warning. The actual ground shaking of the earthquake may be the only warning you receive. Tsunamis generated by earthquakes occurring thousands of miles away will take several hours to reach the coast. There would be time for official warning, but if you are in an isolated area, you may not hear the official warning, you will feel no earthquake, and the only warning you may have is a sudden unexpected change in sea level. If the sea level suddenly drops or rises without any obvious reason, nature may be warning you of impending danger, and you should move inland or to high ground immediately. Recent research shows that at any time the Pacific Northwest can experience large earthquakes and accompanying tsunamis, and that tsunamis have affected the Oregon coast on a regular basis over time. Scientists have not yet had time to do local studies that will be able to tell you how high a tsunami may be in any one area and how far you must run inland or how high you must climb to escape. The best general advice available today is to (1) go up to 2 miles inland if you are in a low-lying area or at least 100 feet above sea level if you can; and (2) go on foot if at all possible because of traffic jams and earthquake damage.

    Extractions: Wyoming Web geology.com usgs.gov nasa.gov What causes a tsunami?... A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This sudden motion could be an earthquake, a powerful volcanic eruption, or an underwater landslide. The impact of a large meteorite could also cause a tsunami. Tsunamis travel across the open ocean at great speeds and build into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a shoreline. Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes generated in a subduction zone, an area where an oceanic plate is being forced down into the mantle by plate tectonic forces. The friction between the subducting plate and the overriding plate is enormous. This friction prevents a slow and steady rate of subduction and instead the two plates become "stuck". Image by USGS As the stuck plate continues to descend into the mantle the motion causes a slow distortion of the overriding plage. The result is an accumulation of energy very similar to the energy stored in a compressed spring. Energy can accumulate in the overriding plate over a long period of time - decades or even centuries.

    Extractions: Lecture Outline Cause and Occurrence of Earthquakes. The same plate tectonic activity that causes volcanoes also causes earthquakes. Subduction can create stress in the rock crust that results in slippage causing earthquakes. Earthquakes and Faults. As two plates collide, stress is built up and faults (or cracks) appear in the crust. (Active faults of Kyushu Kanto ) If there is little friction along the fault, creep may occur, that is, there may be gradual movement of the ground on one or both sides of the fault. This type of fault activity does not usually result in death or injury, since there are no sudden movements. If, however, friction prevents gradual movement, the stress will built up until sudden slippage occurs along the fault. This is an earthquake. Sometimes, slippage occurs along the subduction zone. These quakes can be rather large ones, like the Indian Ocean earthquake of December 26, 2004 (magnitude 9.0). If the stress occurs in deep crust layers where rock is hot, the crust may gradually fold rather than slip (no earthquake occurs: example photo of folding Earthquake Focus and Epicenter.
