Document Preview: Practical 3 Tsunami Introduction Tsunami are well known perils forming from sudden volumetric displacement of sea water through earthquake upheaval, shelf slump, edifice failure or cosmic impactor. Energy in the form of long-wavelength waves radiates from the site of water displacement. These are known as tsunami (|(t)soonñ?me|). I understand the origin of the word is from the combination of the Japanese words tsu (harbour) and nami (wave), after the propensity of these waves to manifest themselves strongly at harbours which typically lie at the heads of inlets. Tsunami waves travel rapidly and efficiently over long distances, having ocean basin-wide and in some cases global effects. Waves from earthquakes and shelf slumps can have >30 m height runup at the shore and can be much larger for cosmic impactor waves. Are Tsunami important for NSW? There is no doubt that NSW (and NZ) have received tsunami; small ones historically and larger ones in the geological past (papers 1-3). However the sedimentological evidence for very large tsunami along the coast of NSW remains controversial (cf papers 4-6). Despite this uncertainty, most of Australias population is at the coast and many within a few metres of sea level (paper 7) and our vulnerability to tsunami appears to be high (papers 8-10). Your tasks for this practical Present a short (400 word max) report on the effects of a tsunami coming ashore at the Corso in Manly. Describe the physical effects on the Corso for three scenarios; 1. A 5 m runup tsunami at high tide, 2. A 5 m runup tsunami at low tide, 3. A 12 m runup tsunami at high tide. 4. Under what conditions would damage be enhanced? Under what conditions would damage be minimised? Helpful hints If you have never been to the Corso at Manly, use Google Maps and StreetView to help. Go to; https://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en Enter The Corso, Manly, NSW into the address box. Use StreetView to help you.
