Simulation of a tsunami caused by an earthquake on the Puerto Rico Trench. This animation shows the possible impact of a magnitude-7.5 earthquake and subsequent tsunami would have on the Caribbean and the eastern seaboard of the United States. The propagation model was created by NOAA 's National Center for Tsunami Research. This particular location was chosen to demonstrate the widespread impact that such a tsunami could have, which could also be significant to western Europe and west Africa. The yellow shading represents the crest of the wave, which is over 10cm above sea level and the red shading represents the trough of the wave, which over 10cm below sea level. The purple shading shows subsequent peaks 0 - 10cm high and the green shading equates to subsequent troughs 0 - 10cm. | |
