There is strong evidence that Aitape coast was hit by Tsunami of a height of at least 32m.
2,How many times more energy is dissipated by a wave of this size when it hits the coast than a wave of 2m?

The energy dissipated by a wave is proportional to the square of its height.
Therefore, the energy dissipated by a wave of 32m in height is (32^2) = 1024 times greater than the energy dissipated by a wave of 2m in height.
