The damage was estimated at $75 million. Surprisingly, the tsunami caused little damage on any of the other islands. ]]> 2022-05-04 18:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170421413 How Did This Affect the City and its Civilians?

LauraHofferman https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170432951 The earthquake causing the tsunami occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960. About 15 hours after the earthquake, a tsunami occurred in Hawaii in the city of Hilo on the same date.]]> 2022-05-04 18:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170432951 How Severe Were the Disasters? LauraHofferman https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170437661 The earthquake had a magnitude of 9.5, which resulted in a 35-foot tall tsunami.]]> 2022-05-04 18:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170437661 What Spheres/Earth Systems Were Involved in This Disaster, and Which Were Affected? 951785 https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170438611 The hydrosphere was involved in this disaster because it was a tsunami and the hydrosphere is water, and the geosphere was involved because the geosphere causes earthquakes, which lead to the start of the tsunami. The atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere were affected by this disaster. The atmosphere can be affected by tsunamis because the tsunami can destroy trees, which reduces the amount of oxygen. Tsunamis can also destroy factories, which can release toxins into the air that impact the air quality. The biosphere was impacted because plants, animals, and humans have a high chance of dying in a tsunami if they can't get to high ground quickly, and tsunamis travel very fast. Finally, the hydrosphere is impacted because the waved can pull in debris that pollutes the water, which is very bad because it can quickly infect the water and make it not safe to use.]]> 2022-05-04 18:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/951785/1nrcc1r377cammnv/wish/2170438611 Where Was This Located On the Map?
