Tsunami Survival 
Julia Gushue 
Mrs. Young 
11/4/2014
Imagine yourself on a vacation with your 
family. You are staying at a beach resort, 
when all of a sudden you hear this 
monster wave.
Before we continue, I want to go over some basic facts 
you need to know. You will see these words highlighted 
in the following presentation. 
Tsunami – an unusual large wave produced 
by an earthquake or volcano eruption. 
Japanese Tsunami Wave
Wave 
It is a disturbance on the surface of a liquid 
body. 
Wave from Japanese Earthquake
EARTHQUAKE 
It is a shaking or trembling of a portion of 
the earth. 
Results of Japanese Earthquake
Fault 
A crack in the earth’s crust. 
Located in California
Focus: The place movement first occurs 
along a fault is below the earth’s surface. 
Epicenter: Surface above the focus.
Landslide 
The sudden downward movement of a mass 
of rocks or earth on a steep slope. 
Landslide causing a tsunami.
Eruption: To burst out lava from a volcano. 
Ocean: A whole body of salt water that 
covers nearly ¾ of the earth.
FLOODING 
An overflow of water that submerges land 
which is usual dry. 
Flooding in Thailand from a Tsunami in 2004.
Tsunami Beginnings 
Tsunamis can begin by either an earthquake, 
a volcanic eruption or a landslide. For 
example, the Thailand Tsunami in 2004 
was caused by a (9.3 out of 10) massive 
earthquake in the Indian Ocean.
Tsunami Facts 
The ocean water can reach 450 miles per 
hour and tsunamis can hit areas 30 feet 
above sea level or higher. 
50ft wave above sea level Japan 2011
Tsunami Facts 
Hawaii is most vulnerable to Tsunamis. It is 
one of two U.S. locations with a Tsunami 
Warning Center. (The other is Alaska). 
Tsunami Warning Center
Tsunami Facts 
One of the most deadly Tsunamis was in 
Thailand in 2004 and 230,000 people died. 
In Japan, 300,000 people died in 2011. 
Japanese citizens inspecting area after Tsunami 2011
Tsunami Fact 
Tsunami waves can be up to 100 feet tall or 
higher. 
Tsunami Wave Japan 2011
Tsunami Facts 
Largest Tsunami wave ever recorded: Alaska, 
1958, wave height was 1,720ft – taller 
than the Empire State Building.

Key Researcher 
• Eric Dunham, geophysics, assistant 
professor who is trying to use information 
from 2011 Japanese tsunami to predict 
and warn about future ones.
Tsunami Video 
Video edited to show biggest areas of impact.
Conclusion 
I hope you learned about tsunamis and how to escape 
them. I hope that you enjoyed this presentation and 
that it was a fun learning experience. 
I believe that tsunamis are very powerful and that they 
are serious issues that the world must face! They are 
not caused by things like a penny dropping, they are 
from rattling movement. 
Such as … 
Landslides 
Volcanic eruptions 
Large earthquakes

Thanks to Samuel Lombardo, my dear 
brother, for editing the video and help 
from my mother, Jennifer Lombardo with 
Powerpoint.
