Geohazards: Tsunamis
By: Jackson Germond
Tsunami
Tsunami's happen when there is an earthquake near or in the water. These are huge threats to humans and the ecosystem. I say this because when these waves crash into us they destroy nearly everything.
Vulnerable Regions
Vulnerable regions to tsunamis are regions close to the water.
How is the Power of a Tsunami Measured
Tsunami are measured on a Richter chart.
Occurences
Two of the most memorable and powerful tsunamis are
-Japan, March 2011
-Indonesia, December 2004
Protection
We can protect our selves from these by going to higher ground, leaving the vulnerable area, and creating sea breakers.
