The tsunami that we have been researching happened May 23, 1960 in Hawaii. An earthquake off the coast of Chile. The Nazca Plate and the South American Plate had created a transform boundary. This stored up an enormous amount of friction, that was later on released and created. The earthquake had then created the Hawaii tsunami, by it creating a wave of energy in the Pacific ocean. The tsunami had destroyed 500 homes and business in Hilo Bay where it hit.

The Hawaiian Tsunami in 1960 occurred by the largest earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5 along the coast of Chile. The earthquake caused a massive shift in the plates. The plate subducted in the sea floor, which created the water to build up immense pressure. To then releasing it creating the massive tsunami.

There were waves of 35 feet that crashed into Hilo at a speed of 100 km. 20 ton boulders making up the sea wall. These 20 ton boulders were moved 500 feet by the tsunami. This tsunami was predicted by the Pacific tsunami warning system in 1948. Waves were issued six hours before the waves were expected. 20 ton boulders making up the sea wall were moved 500 feet by the tsunami.

In the Hawaiian Tsunami, many lost their lives. In Hawaii itself, 61 people died. In Chile there were around 1 million people who lost their lives. To add on, Japan and the Philippines were also hit by this tsunami. In which killed 138 people in Japan and 32 people either disappeared or died in the Philippines. The estimated damage was around $75 million. At least 500 homes and businesses either were damaged or destroyed.

The earth systems affected by the tsunami were the biosphere and hydrosphere. The hydrosphere was affected by partially creating the tsunami. With the biosphere since the hydrosphere disrupted the biosphere killing people and damaging houses and places.

There was no significant damage to the other Hawaiian islands. The people of Hawaii had found a subduction zone. Scientist had learned more about the South American Plate. A lot more data was found, and this was used to better predict more tsunamis.
