Host in the text: Dear friends Welcome to Sina guests chat room, I was host to the text. Beijing time at 2:34 p.m. on the February 27, Chile Richter 8.8 earthquake, epicenter located 339 kilometers southwest of the Chilean capital Santiago. 2010 has just begun, the word earthquake occurred on the high frequency, the Chile earthquake in Taiwan, China, coastal areas will be affected? Today we all go to the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Centre Engineer Zhao United Nations General Assembly s teacher to find out more. We will live in connection with the seismological bureau experts.
Yesterday that the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide the list of tsunami early warning, including China’s Taiwan Province, Taiwan, do you think this will be the impact of the tsunami?
Zhao United Nations General Assembly: the earthquake magnitude from now, we believe that the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, Taiwan is up to 0.5 m tsunami wave, there may be a bit minimal. But our 24-hour monitoring of tsunami development, according to many Pacific islands, buoys and monitoring stations of the situation, the tsunami wave is not such as big, if the tsunami wave reached Taiwan, it should 10 to 20 cm of wave height, will not form what disaster, if spread to the mainland is estimated that the tsunami waves have nothing.
U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did when the tsunami warning, usually based on the earthquake magnitude and focal depth issue a tsunami warning. Released when the first tsunami warning buoy normally do not see the tsunami monitoring data, so he will be the worst for a warning in advance. When the first tsunami warning issued after the Tsunami Warning Center tsunami buoy will be closely monitoring data, and earthquake and tsunami data, according to revised tsunami warning notice at any time.
Host in the text: the concept of our tsunami, but that you just said there are 0.5 meters of tsunami, the impact on Taiwan, 0.5 m mean?
Zhao United Nations General Assembly: 0.5 m just like an ordinary small waves, which is probably so high from foot to knee of water.
Host in the text: you can not explain to you the scientific concept of the tsunami?
Zhao UN: Tsunami is like earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions that caused by the movement of marine geology large water bodies change, resulting in a fluctuation in the ocean, so fluctuations in the ocean spread very far, such fluctuations in deep water when the ocean is very small, so it will not produce any disaster, but one to the shore, to the coast when the wave gets bigger, the bank formed in the disaster, this phenomenon is the tsunami. The most common causes of the tsunami is caused by earthquakes, so now we all call it tsunami.
1960 earthquake in Chile 9.5 little impact on China
Host in the text: as Chile is not in the earthquake-prone zone?
Zhao United Nations General Assembly: Chile is earthquake-prone areas.
Host in the text: we see more than 9.0 occurred in 1960 Chile earthquake.
Zhao United Nations General Assembly: 9.5.
