  1. Tsunamis TSUNAMI By Nia Garcia and Noor Mohammed

  2. Question (Problem) • What are tsunami’s? How can I prepare for one? When do tsunamis occur? What causes a tsunami?

  3. Hypothesis • If there is a tsunami then I will pack life jackets, food, and water. I would move from the section where the area is going to hit badly and stay with my family.

  4. Research • Tsunami - A cataclysm resulting from a destructive sea wave caused by an earthquake or volcanic eruption. • Tsunami- Is a series of HUGE water waves. • Tsunami - Japanese term meaning wave (“nami”) in a harbor (“tsu”). A series of traveling waves of extremely long length and period.

  5. Research • Tsunami are also called tide waves. • Some meteorological conditions, such as deep depressions that cause tropical cyclones, can generate a storm surge, called a Meteotsunami, which can raise tides several metres above normal levels.

  6. Research • Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour—about as fast as a jet airplane. • At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. • And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.

  7. Data • The most horrible tsunami was in 2004 in Hawaii. • Another horrible tsunami was in 2004 in Indonesia.

  8. What Causes Tsunami’s • Big eruption can cause a tsunami. • Natural Disasters' can cause a tsunami.

  9. How Can I Prepare For A Tsunami • Be aware of any warnings. If a warning has been issued in your area, be aware, and know what is going on. Tsunami warnings are usually issued several hours before the expected arrival time. • Be well informed. Always know what is going on with the tsunami; if the warning has been canceled, if there is information on mass evacuation plans, etc. • If evacuating, be frugal with what you take. Take only the essentials, food, water, and clothing, and shelter.
