Over a great circle route between an earthquake epicentre off the coast of Chile and Hawaii the average depth is 100m for 150 n.m. (1 nautical mile = 1852 m), 3300m for 390 nautical miles, 4000m for 3800 nautical miles and 5200m for 1300 nautical miles. The earthquake creates a wave in a water depth of 1300m with a period of 40 min and a height, Ho, of 0.9 m. By calculating the wavelength, phase speed, and tsunami travel time for each part of the great circle route, determine the total travel time between the epicentre and endpoint of the route. Give your answer in hours, rounded to two decimal places.

Problem-2 For proper planning of harbours oscillatory waves in the relevant off-shore region must be taken into account. If the sea depth is 30 m and an oscillatory waves train is observed to have wavelength of 50 m, what would be the velocity of the individual waves?
Alaska earthquake of 1964, earthquake that occurred in south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964, with a moment magnitude of 9.2. It released at least twice as much energy as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. The death toll was only 131 because of the low density of the state's population, but property damage was high. The earthquake tilted an area of at least 46,442 square miles (120,000 square km). Landmasses were thrust up locally as high as 82 feet (25 metres) to the east of a line extending northeastward from Kodiak Island through the western part of Prince William Sound. To the west, land sank as much as 8 feet (2.5 metres). The seismic moment of this earthquake is x 1029 dyne-cm. Express your answer with 2 decimal places. Blank 1 Blank 1 Add your answer

For an earthquake of magnitude M=7.0 and depth 25 km, calculate the peak ground acceleration at a site 50 km from the epicentre using the attenuation relationships for Europe, Japan, and western North America (randomly- oriented horizontal components). The fault mechanism is normal and the seismic waves travel through a thick layer of rock (v=780 m/sec). Compare the results with the prediction of the world-wide attenuation relationship. Plot the curve of the above attenuation relationships for M=7 and comment on the plots.
Two Seismographic stations A and B are located 200 km apart on level ground. An earthquake occurred between these two stations and the epicenter is located exactly on the line joining these two stations. The difference in time between P and S wave arrivals was 10 seconds at A and 15 seconds at B. Determine the location of epicenter from these two stations.
