Tsunami Earth Science Lesson PowerPoint
The document summarizes key information from a science lesson about tsunamis, including: - Tsunamis are caused by large underwater disturbances like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides that displace large volumes of water. - The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan caused a devastating tsunami after the earthquake displaced a large volume of water at the subduction zone where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate. - Warning signs of tsunamis include earthquakes in coastal areas, sudden rising or receding of bay waters, and alerts from warning systems. Early warnings can help coastal communities evacuate to higher ground.
