They have anchors attached to the ocean floor that record pressure changes in the ocean that are transmitted to satellites in weather laboratories.]]> 2018-04-27 17:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/muin_jacob/usey2cu0ccj6/wish/256103957 What is a Tsunami? andreyev_liana https://padlet.com/muin_jacob/usey2cu0ccj6/wish/256107384 A Tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.  Rarely, a Tsunami can be generated by a giant meteor.
A Tsunami can travel at a speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as a jet plane.
In 2004,the indian ocean Tsunami was caused by an earthquake with the energy of 23,000 atomic bombs.  After the earthquake, killer waves radiating from the epicenter slammed into the coastline of 11 countries.  The final death toll was 283,00.Scientist believe that an asteroid struck the indian ocean about 4,800 years ago.The Tsunami the resulted is theorized to have been approximately 600 feet (180 m) high.
Of the three major oceans, only the Pacific Ocean has an integrated multinational tsunami warning system. There was no tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean in 2004, though experts had previously recommended one be installed.Because of its long history of devastating tsunamis, Japan had the most advanced tsunami warning system in the world prior to the 2011 tsunami, which consisted of more than 1,500 seismometers and more than 500 water-level gauges.

Immediately move to a higher and sturdier point.  If you are on a boat in the ocean during a tsunami, do not try to dock your boat at a harbor or dock.  The waves could slam your boat into the dock and cause damage to both.  As long as you are in the deep ocean (>100) when a tsunami is coming, you should stay there and wait for the tsunami to pass you.]]> 2018-04-27 17:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/muin_jacob/usey2cu0ccj6/wish/256110664 Did You Know? rojas_mario https://padlet.com/muin_jacob/usey2cu0ccj6/wish/256112041 Small tsunamis can do damage as well.  Tsunami is a japanese word meaning harbour (tsu) wave (nami).When tsunamis are near the coast, they slow down but increase in height. About 80% of the tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire.Tsunamis can travel as fast as 5000 miles per hour, without being noticed and can cross the entire ocean in less than a day.The places with the greatest risk of tsunami are Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Alaska and California.the indian ocean   tsunami that took place in December 2004 was estimated to have energy of 23,000 atom bombs. It killed around 283,000 people.People who live in coastal areas, upon experiencing extremely strong earthquakes should be aware that a tsunami is likely to occur.A mega tsunami has very huge waves and has occurred in Alaska in 1958. Surprisingly only two people died.Scientists predict that the next mega tsunami will occur Canary island and will cause damage upto American coastal cities like Boston Miami and new York with waves as high as 100 feet.

There was a 9.0 earthquake in 2011
In casa numa people had to evacuate and got surrounded
The largest quake made more than 25000 people die  
A passing ship only raises a height of 2 feet
Japan may be the most siemologil country in the world
Tsunamis are some really cool but terrifying events

2nd Video

If there is a tremor and you are on the beach then you need to run away 
Do not touch power lines
Do not get your children
If leaving your home, turn off all appliances
If your at home you only have a few minutes to escape

3rd Video

Small tsunamis can do damage as well
When there is a sudden rise on the waves of the water 
Go far away from the water
Try to run inland or away from any area where there is a chance of there being a tsunami you know gods 
Run if there is a sudden tremor in the ground that you can feel
Run if there is a sudden boom in the sudden distance, you should run
If there is any chance there is any of those signs
tsunami is a japanese word meaning harbour (tsu) wave (nami)
A tsunami is not just one wave but a series of waves
When tsunamis are near the coast, they slow down but increase in height
You should get off the beach and run inland or to a safe place
Tsunamis are More common in the pacific
