These are notes and observations from research.
Earthquake
- occur due to movement in tectonic plates
- only seconds of notice, 5-10 seconds
- [p waves] are much faster than [s waves] and the actual waves that cause the earthquake.
- earthquakes travel at about the same speed as data networks
- can be measured by motion (on surface or underground) and pressure (underground)
- downside of underground monitoring is 1) power and 2) transmission
- can use repeaters or solar power to solve these issues
- advantage of being underground is distance from noise (such as animals and humans) and being closer to the source of the earthquake
- being attached to rock is good
- downside of underground monitoring is 1) power and 2) transmission
Resources
Tsunami
- in the deep sea pressure sensors are used to measure the relatively small sea-level change (in centimeters)
- nearer to shore, where waves start to form, altitude could be measured by buoy
- travel at hundreds of miles per hour
- tsunami headquarters in Hawaii
- notification could be minutes to hours in advance depending on distance from source of tsunami
- height/speed of wave reduces with distance
