TITLE PAGE:

The Title Page and Abstract requirements remain the same.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the lab is easily obtained by looking at the investigative question posted on the first several days of the lab.

METHODS & MATERIALS:

Describe how you obtained data/made measurements in the Methods section. This should very definitely match our Goldilocks standard (not too much detail, not too little detail but just the right amount of detail).

Please indicate that you used OOI instrument data 'provided' to you for the Kodiak (include date and time) or Tonga (include date and time) volcanic explosion.

Kodiak wave data was obtained from the PREST sensor at the Southern Hydrate Ridge location on the OOI Data Portal.

Tonga volcano wave data was obtained from the PREST sensor at the Southern Hydrate Ridge location on the OOI Data Portal.

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:

• There are instances where you will need to make calculations. For each *type* of calculation show your work once (and only once) under the "Sample Calculations" section.
• Please calculate frequency in waves/min or waves/hour since waves/second is kind of meaningless for tsunami waves

DATA:

Appropriate data goes here.

Please keep in mind that our main data source from the OOI has thousands of data points. Please do NOT include the main data set in your lab, we'll let the graph take care of that

GRAPH:

Provide a VERY well crafted graph that clearly shows amplitude changes of the tsunami generated by either the Kodiak earthquake (3rd Period) or the Tonga Volcanic explosion (4th period)

Include all the main aspects of a quality graph as we have discussed in class

Must include horizontal axis major and minor grid lines

Must include vertical axis major and minor grid lines

A screen shot of your Google Sheets graph is definitely acceptable

DISCUSSION:

Claim: Rewrite the purpose of the lab to clearly and concisely show your concluding statement

Evidence: Refer specifically to your graph to explain how you obtained data there; and how you used that data as either a measurement or in a calculation to determine our four tsunami wave characteristics.

Reasoning: Use your knowledge of earthquakes, energy and tsunami wave characteristics to show how the data you collected allowed you to measure or calculate the five characteristics of a tsunami wave.

Error Analysis:

• Suggest which aspects of your amplitude measurements were less precise than others.
• Include an analysis of the actual 'background' wave heights to support your error analysis to support your analysis
