Creating A Tsunami In The Classroom

[@DanteYewToob]

What’s terrifying is that it only takes like calf deep water moving quickly to sweep you away. People often forget about how heavy water is and how much force it has, that’s why people get injured and killed all the time from trying to stand under waterfalls not realizing that it’s hundreds or thousands of pounds of water being dropped on you like a sack of bricks. So just imagine even a 5 foot or 10 foot tsunami crashing into cars, buildings and just sweeping them away like nothing because the water weighs so much more.

[@jummyran]

Very well said. Waters a liquid so it’s always over looked at as heavy unlike solids like dirt and metals which are extremely heavy but still liquids add up. Only gases are the ones with no weight compared to the other two.

[@belenheredia2024]

Wait people gets killed in waterfalls??

[@JuliettKilo]

@@belenheredia2024 Waterfall with decent scale can be extremely dangerous, especially during bad weather. It can flush you down to the bottom of the lake like a toilet paper.

[@JuliettKilo]

For reference, 1 cubic meters of water weighs 1 ton. Basically, the water at just lower than chest height can has the mass of a vehicle. It can run you down easily and block your car door much harder than you think.

[@DanteYewToob]

@@belenheredia2024 Yeah, people try to stand under them like in the movies and get bashed with water, end up slipping and falling, hitting their head or in some cases the water can have so much force it literally compresses your spine and neck. That’s why it’s so “impressive” when the tough guy stands under the waterfall to meditate in the king fu movies. You’re basically getting punched super hard by water constantly and resisting the huge forces trying to crush you and knock you over.

[@tadertot10]

Yes it’s effective in showing a rough physical representation, and it’s great to show in the classroom, but this is like 5 minutes out of a 100+ hour course. Visually seeing and understanding physical reactions is no replacement for the other 100+ hours of actually understanding the mathematics and the variables involved to consider/predict/respond to results of real world implications, you know, the part that actually gets you a job. Again if you didn’t get examples like this in school don’t worry, it was a quick 2-5 min thing then you actually dive into the formulas and real understanding of what’s going on, you missed out on 5 minutes of fun, the rest would’ve stayed the same.

[@bpivr]

It would be an even better model if one end was shallow. You could see how a long wave starts to stand up when it can’t extend to the bottom.

[@iRossco]

"can't extend to the bottom"? That's in deep water, it stands up in shallow because of the bottom.

I had assumed that when he said he was using a small model, that he had profiled the bottom of the container to simulate the coastline getting shallower. I was kind of disappointed when it just turned out to be a regular, flat seed tray.

Me expecting some tricky earthquake simulator to disrupt the water … him - picks up one end of tray… Me 🤨

[@earthscienceclassroom]

I would have used a fancy earthquake machine to simulate realistic water displacement, but all I had was to lift it!

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

You're missing the point of the example. It isn't the shaking crust of the earthquake that is the cause. It's the literal pop from the tectonic plates during the earthquake, the plate end popping up or down while submerged, moving the column of water above quickly one inch to several feet. It's not the only cause, but it's the cause demonstrated here. "A few feet wouldn't do that much," you'd probably ask yourself, but that depends on the distance of the fault line moving and the combined area that sets in motion. Take a deck of playing cards, take about half off the stack, and push the short edge vertically into the remaining stack on the table. It can hold firm, but when you start making the angle smaller towards yourself while pushing, you'll soon experience the release of energy in the pop of a tectonic subduction zone. The better example would be to hold the remaining stack pressed together to make an arch, as the bottom one is usually curved down. The top one also curves down but is pushed onto the arching plate. It's the section from the middle of the playing card to the end pressed against it counterpart that moves the water column when the pressure exceeds the friction on the plate edge. So take the playing card, look at the half that's arching downwards, and imagine it being a several yards long section hooked onto a many miles long subduction zone that's moving the inch to several feet up. The whole column moves instantly as water doesn't compress, and then that energy is diverted sideways in a very long wave in every direction. This is the origin of the tsunami and why a tsunami is so relentless when the water gets shallower, as the same amount of water is still moving, but have a shorter column that resulted in a wider area in motion. This makes the drain effect of the tsunami happen, removing the water alongside the beaches and luring inquisitive individuals to figure out why when the wave returns the water in a seemingly endless flowing and breaking wave.

[@earthscienceclassroom]

In reality, this model shares very little with an actual tsunami. It's depth is the same from all areas. In reality a tsunami creates a very large wave at a very long wavelegnth that's very short in height. Then as that wave meets shallower water, it gets thrust upward by the shallower sea floor. Then as that wave that's only a few cm tall but kilometers long gets thrust upward by the seafloor, it becomes a wave of many many meters high and still has kilometer(s) of equal height behind it. The waves you see at the beach are tall, but they're only a few meters long.. Imagine if those same waves were hundreds of meters in length. Even a 3m/10ft tall wave would wipe out everything within a few km of the beach unless the inland area was a lot higher than sea level.

[@Mabel-vc2zf]

This helped me understand tsunamis a lot better, thanks!

[@russellpeffer7736]

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the simple explanation.

The main characteristic of tsunamis is that the wave is described by a shallow water equation in which the speed of the wave is dependent of the depth. Near the coast where the water gets shallower, the formerly long wave is compressed into a shorter wave. This is how the wave can reach enormous heights at the coast while its mostly unnoticed on the open sea.

Except a little blow doesn’t effectively represent the power of wind. You’ve seen what a tornado does imagine that on water it would create a huge displacement of water. Often times it’s not the ocean floor at all but rather water deep under the ocean being pulled creating vacuums that exponentially created larger and larger ripples and riptides. Eventually creating gigantic waves. Hot and cold fronts have a large roll in this too. Though no doubt tectonic activity can have the same effect. Poseidon was called earth shaker for a reason

[@joanngabriel134]

At 0:29 , you can see how the water retreats. that is the sign where a tsunami is gonna happen. When that happens next is a big wave, that will wipe everything on its way. Even trees were wiped off (it depends on the wave)

Also a good example of how the water recedes from the shore before the tsunami comes in. It’s a warning but if you’re close enough to the water to see it…you’re probably already screwed. I live in Hawaii so this is pretty much common knowledge. Still a cool demonstration though 👍
