CCM 2 for Oceanographers October 24, 2013 John Peralta
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion (a) Determine the likelihood of a 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 Richter Scale or greater earthquake that will likely generate a tsunami (called “tsunami-genetic”) in any given year in coastal Peru. (Kilikov 2005) John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion (Kilikov 2005) % Chance = 1 / Return Period x 100 % John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion (b) Determine the 10 year, 50 year, and 100 year return period of tsunami run up heights. 10 year = 2.8m, 50 year = 15m, 100 year = 25m (Kilikov 2005) John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion (c) Determine the Richter magnitude earthquake that the building would need to withstand, in order to survive for 50 years. 8.6 Richter magnitude John Peralta 2013
Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion • Build on Oscar R. Benevides (green 20m site) • Build to withstand 9.0 Richter Scale Earthquake • Build to withstand yearly 6.0 Richter Scale Earthquake John Peralta 2013

Location (a) Return period (b) (c) Conclusion Appendix • More Reasons for why I chose 1 Data Set over another • Return period shorter so erring on the safer side and expecting the worst of the two scenarios • The newer dataset is more advanced as the historical data set may be missing unrecorded events • Focuses on a shorter and more current time span which may represent a current trend in the area John Peralta 2013
