No one. No deaths or injuries reported.
2. What happened?
A 8.2 magnitude earthquake and tsunami (the tsunami was 10m high) hit the exact same place, causing substantial damage.
3. What was the cause?

When- This happened July 9 1958. The tsunami at the time was 524 m, the biggest tsunami known to man.

Where- This was located in Lituya Bay in Alaksa, USA.

Who- This might be surprising but, only 5 people died during the tsunami and over 1,000 people were injured.

What- This tsunami swept he entire length of the Lituya Bay(14.5 km) and over the La Chaussee Spit. This tsunami lasted for 6 hours!

Why- An earthquake caused this tsunami along the Fairweather fault triggered a major subaerial landslide.

What was the impact of this tsunami?
1. The forest was deeply affected by the tsunami, over 60 trees were washed away by the tsunami.

2. It took over 7 years to rebuild most of the homes but, some of them were never re-built.

3. The hole of the bay was destroyed by the tsunami, it was quite a sad time.]]> 2022-03-04 03:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077232592 https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077235216 who -Fortunately only 5 people died but many houses and life's would have been destroyed  
what - The tsunami reached up to 1,700 feet 
where- It was in Alaska specifically in Lituya bay
when-The tsunami occurred on July 9th 1958
why- A earthquake caused this tsunami 
The Forest was affected by this tsunami and as any tsunami many people would have been injured and hurt and the whole area would have struggled to recover from this awful event.]]> 2022-03-04 03:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077235216 https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077247231 The Thailan Tsunami happened in 2004. It was a very tragic event and was even adapted into a movie called "The Impossible" starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Holland.]]> 2022-03-04 04:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077247231 https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077247989 by Imogen:

On December 26th, 2004, waves were triggered by a massive earthquake slammed into the coastlines of countries ringing the Indian Ocean. The number of deaths caused by the tsunami was enormous. The boxing day tsunami killed at least 225,000 people across a dozen countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Maldives, and Thailand sustaining massive damage. A magnitude 9.3 earthquake occurred on the seafloor off the western coast of Sumatra. It ruptured over a 1200km section of a fault under the sea, causing a huge area of the sea floor to be raised. The tsunami left several millions of dollars of economic loss, affecting fishing and tourist industries, environmental and medical threats including water pollution, flooding and endemic diseases.

A total of 5 people were killed in the event, 3 died on the beach where the tsunami happened, and 2 drowned in the sea from it. The tsunami destroyed many homes and left many people injured, and millions of trees were swept away with it. The Lituya Bay tsunami was caused from an earthquake which was caused from a giant rockfall, which triggered a tsunami. This tsunami was 1720 feet tall and is the worlds tallest recorded tsunami. ]]> 2022-03-04 04:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077248091 https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077249604 -during the Lituya bay tsunami 5 people died tragically.  
-the entirety of Lituya bay (1,000,000 km2) was incredibly damaged by the the incident.
-The tip of a large mountain crashed in the water, due to its size it managed to be the sole cause of the tsunami

This earthquake led to 1,655 deaths as well as leaving 2 million people homeless. This was caused when the Nazca plate descended 15 metres underneath the South American plate. This was after the Nazca plate released tension. That was how the mega-thrust earthquake happened and was yet to be beaten as the biggest earthquake to ever be recorded in history.]]> 2022-03-04 04:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077254053 https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077254483

The 9.1 magnitude earthquake that prompted the tsunami was the third strongest since records began in 1899.

The energy released by the earthquake was equivalent to 23,000 Hiroshima sized atomic bombs.

The highest waves are thought to have reached 65-100 feet in height.

It was 524 metres tall. The reason that this unfortunate event happened was because an earthquake nearby caused a large a amount of rock to fall in the bay. The force then created a giant wave which rushed through the bay very fast and caused a tsunami. Five people died in the tsunami however it mainly went thought forests so no houses were destroyed. The 5 people that died were on boats in the bay. there boats then sunk in the swell.

Five people were killed in this tsunami , three people died on land on Litya Bay and the other two died on a boat when they where out at, sea and where 100 feet underneath the water after they sank. The reason the Tsunami happened was because of a earthquake under the sea. The tsunami caused a lot of trees in Lituya Bay to be destroyed and a lot of buildings to crash which they would have to rebuild.]]> 2022-03-04 04:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jtung4/earthquakesandtsunamis/wish/2077259242
