5.0 Earthquake in Hawaii

(FROM AP NEWS)

In Hawaii, a quake registering a preliminary magnitude of about 5.0 rattled the Big Island, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake was centered 8 miles southeast of the summit of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

YIPES!

STANFORD, California (CNN) -- In an event known as a "silent earthquake," a 72-square-mile chunk of the south slope of Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano slipped 3.5 inches toward the sea several months ago, leading one scientist to warn of a possible disaster for Pacific Rim nations.

The slide, documented in the February 28 issue of the journal Nature, was measured by Global Positioning System satellites in November 2000. A 12- by 6-mile area moved 3.5 inches over a 36-hour period in the first "silent earthquake" ever recorded at an active volcano.

Such earthquakes are virtually undetectable on the surface, but can be measured by GPS recordings. Since the GPS system is relatively new, there is very little data on the phenomenon according to Peter Cervelli of the U.S. Geological Survey. Researchers with the USGS and Stanford University tracked the movement.

The 12- by 6-mile chunk that moved extends five miles into the earth's crust, making its mass roughly equal to that of a quarter-mile thick, Rhode Island-sized object, the researchers said.

An accompanying article in Nature by geophysicist Steven N. Ward, of the University of California at Santa Cruz, speculates that a land mass that size -- if it slid into the ocean in one cataclysmic event -- could trigger an enormous tsunami that could imperil coastlines as far away as California, Chile, or Australia.

A tsunami is a strong, fast-moving wave that can build to 100 feet high or taller as it speeds into shallow water near the shore. Ward said his computer models suggest that a massive slide at Kilauea could touch off an arc of destructive waves in nearly all directions, with the greatest force probably focusing toward the southeast, in the direction of Ecuador.

But Ward, and other scientists, caution that the tsunami risk is minuscule: No such tsunamis of this type have taken place in recorded history. The last such wave of which there is evidence occurred in Hawaii an estimated 200,000 years ago, he said.

lol.... the Big Island of Hawai'i has earthquakes every single day. It sort of comes as a package deal with the active molten lava spewing volcano there.

Hawaiian earthquakes for the last ten days: USGS site

but on the bright side, we also have the newest earth in the world. (still kinda hot though.... so no touching) And more gets made every day. The Big Island just keeps getting bigger.

that's sooooo not true.... there have been more than a few modern day tsunamis in recent history. Most recently, in fact, in 1975.

and this is what a tsunami does to your town:






southern Californians better keep hoping Kilauea doesn't break off a chunk, cuz by the time the wave gets to the Cali coastline.... the fucker'll be big enough to take out LA.

What's the research on the chances of it breaking off?

Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico calculated that if an asteroid three miles across hit the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the tsunami would swamp the upper East Coast as far inland as the Appalachian Mountains and drown the coasts of France and Portugal.

OUCH

hard to say... they got people that study that volcano daily, but they don't talk much. It's been erupting since 1983, so, there's like, 30+ miles of new land from the hardening lava, but it's all unstable. Plus, with all the eruptions and earthquakes, who can really know.... just look at St Helens. The whole freaking side blew out. No one could've predicted that.... so, I'm sure a piece could break off any time.... it's happened in the past, it's bound to happen again. Just a matter of when.

The point of that article was that a tsunami of the size that would be caused by the whole chunk falling in the ocean at once was probably last seen 200000 years ago. There are smaller tsunamis now and then, but the size that would actually take out LA does not happen often at all.

Also, like they said, the likeliness that the whole chunk falls into the ocean in one go and not slowly dropping down further and further is very slim. It is more likely to either break in peices and these fall down by themselves or that it continues to slip down slowly and only at the end dropping down faster creating a way smaller tsunami.

Its not going to happen soon ;)
