Matthew (26) Reflection 3
Our project leader, Nicholas was absent for IPW period this week. However we have continued on making progress with our project.
There are currently a few questions on our project.
1. Is there a way to predict on a long term basis on possibly when a future tsunami might strike like for volcanoes?
2. Is there a way to calculate the distructive force of a tsunami and then use that information and data to simulate this and find ways to act on it?
3. Could there be a safety mechanism in place to be activated to minimize the destructive force of a tsunami eg. a rising wall that prevents the wave from making landfall or at least minimize its impact?
4. Can special materials or designs for structures be made to allow people to seekrefuge in during an emergency?
I would strongly support the idea of a structure to minimize the impact of a tsunami as it would prevent the loss of many lives. I also agree with the idea to possibly predict when a tsunami might strike. However no matter how we manage to do that, we could never possibly predict the exact time such occurances might happen because we can never fully predict the force of mother nature.
I have learned about the distructive force of a tsunami and how much damage such events can cause and that there might be a possible breakthrough in scientific study that might allow us to reduce the damage of such powerful and unavoidable natural disasters
