Learn what makes tsunamis grow

Reporter

Your task is to look at how tsunamis affect humans: the death/injury toll, the destruction to human infrastructure, how the media reacts, and how the world responds.

 

Review NOVA's Anatomy of a Tsunami interactive website to learn about the devastating 2004 Tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

Go to the United States Geological Survey's website "Surviving a Tsunami -Lessons from Chile, Hawaii, and Japan" and invest a great deal of time into looking around. 

 

The Tsunami Society publishes a monthly journal that is available on their website. Some of the articles address the hazards of tsunamis.  This, like the USGS website is a huge resource that will take a long time to review.

 

The Pacific Tsunami Museum maintains a website that, among other resources, has survivors' stories.
