1.0 Abstract
The new tsunami detecting system and new optical fiber are developed today; the detecting
systems can detect tsunami after the earthquake so can save people and the new optical
fiber can foster military system and people can find the potential terrorists with this
technology. Both skills belong to physics so those technologies can be developed by
physicists. However, I think that the new optical fiber technology is much more useful for
human life.
2.0 Introduction
This text is written to inform the scientific information of new technology of tsunami detecting
system and new optical fiber. The new technology of tsunami detecting system will develop
seismology’s skills and physics’ skills. In addition, the new optical fiber tech will improve
chemistry’s and physics’ skills also. To understand tsunami detecting system people have to
know about the seismology and physics because of wave of earthquake makes tsunami and
to study optical fiber people have to know about chemistry to understand chemical terms. In
addition, optical part belongs to physics so people have to know about it. According to those
new technologies, human’s life was improved. Both technologies are very important but I
think that new optical fiber technology is more important than tsunami detecting system.
3.0 Methodology
To achieve the research purpose, scientists did a lot of experiment and researched the data
of tsunami, physicists also did hard work to make optical fiber system. To make those
systems, the seismologists studied about earthquakes and tsunamis in 150 seismic stations
all around the world. In addition, the physicists also studied about optical system to make
new optical fiber. To make this new technology in the seismologic world, they researched the
earthquakes and measure the potential wave of earthquake every thirty minutes.
4.0 Findings
Advance of technique of detecting earthquake and tsunami system and new optical fiber
system improved human life much better. Improve of these system will make people life
better. New technology of detecting tsunami is upgrade version, that kind of system consisted
before, but the old system was so slow to detect tsunami. However, this new technique can
detect in few minutes. Therefore, saving people became much easier than before. The
‘caption 1’ is the order of tsunami warning system in the Australia.
The new optical fiber was applied to military system. The fiber makes military lasers and also
made detecting system to find chemical agents. Actually, the optical fiber was used as
delivering data fast, but it had a number of limitations, so nowadays, the use of optical fiber
stretched more. Both new systems can detect something; it is very useful to mankind.
Detecting tsunami can save many people, and the new optical fiber technology can also help
people like detecting potential terrorist, it can also find polluted thing and give lots of advance
to laser surgery.

5.0 Discussion
Nowadays, human’s technologies are very developed than before. The past technologies
were good, but today’s techniques are much better. Those make people’s life better, safer
and more useful. Advance of seismology will give us many advantages. In the past, in the
Sumatra, there was very huge earthquake and tsunami. It took a lot of life in the Sumatra. In
addition, Japan also had very big tsunami, it also took many people. However, this new
tsunami detecting system can detect the wave of earthquake, so the government or science
center can warn to the citizen to avoid the earthquake and tsunami. This advance of
detecting system is very good for our life. According to ‘New system can warn of tsunamis
within minutes.’ in the E science news. This system can reduce money and time. In addition,
the new optical fiber is made by core of zinc solenide. It makes people easier and freer to use
the light. Advance of this skill will develop surgery technique like laser surgery and in the
military, the soldier will use the system to detect polluted object and it can detect the
supplying biochemist arms by bioterrorists. The past optical fiber had limitation, but new fiber
which contains an innovative high-pressure chemical deposition technique made by Justin
Sparks surpassed the limitation. The first innovation is converting colors and the second
innovation is visible spectrum.
Those new technologies are very helpful in our life because of their detecting abilities. They
can reduce or avert harm disasters and terrors.
6.0 Conclusion and Recommendations
According to above data, both the new tsunami warning system and new optical fiber
contributed in many ways. The tsunami detecting system will foster the seismology and
physics’ wave studies and the new optical fiber technology will foster physics and chemistry’s
studies. Both skills are related with physics, so if the scientists who study physics contribute
to both detecting system. They can apply the detecting skills to catch the terrorists or can
detect tsunami very fast like speed of light.

Appendices
Topic 1:New system can warn of
tsunamis within minutes
Differences:
New detecting system can detect the
tsunamis in few minutes
Aspects to be examined
Topic 2: New kind of optical fiber developed

Definition: what is the
scientific advance?
Differences:
The new technology of optical fiber can
control the light easier.
This system can save many people from
the tsunamis.

Which issue does it
address?
This fiber can be used in military system as
lasers and detecting chemical agents.

Which part of science
does it belong to and
why
The light belongs to physics.
In addition, chemistry also studies this class.
When and by whom was
it discovered
A team of scientists led by John Badding, a
professor of chemistry at Penn State Uni.
The Tsunamis belong to seismology
because it is created by earthquake. In
addition, earthquakes have the wave so
physics also belong to this issue.
The Australian Tsunami Warning
System(ATWS) discovered with The
Geoscience Australia(GA) until 2009

An original optical fiber was developed by
physicists at Bath Uni. In the UK.
The researchers in the Georgia Institute
of Technology discovered in the March
5

Provide a historical
perspective – what was
the previous strategy for
dealing with the issue

What is the contribution
of the scientific advance
to human progress?(how
does it affect humans,
science, the community,
the earth, the future?)
Even thought the tsunami comes in 40
minutes, the past tsunami warning
system took a lot of time to warn, 20 to
30 minutes. However, this new system
takes 7.5 minutes
Tsunami warning system will foster
seismology and physics.
Similarities: Discovered by scientist.
Those systems belong to physics.
Two classes give us good effects.
Optical fiber was actually very famous but
the fibers have a number of limitations.
This optical fiber will foster Army’s force
and we can see what substances are out
there much more clearly.
