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.
1. • Location of Japan earthquake 2011 at a
subduction zone along the Ring of Fire.
– The plate moved 8 feet closer to the North
American Plate in a few seconds

4. -Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn.

24. • Animation of how a volcanic eruption can
cause a tsunami.
25. • Animation of how a volcanic eruption can
cause a tsunami.
In the open ocean,
the wave goes by
quickly with little
notice
26. • Animation of how a volcanic eruption can
cause a tsunami.
In the open ocean,
the wave goes by
quickly with little
notice
The power of the
wave becomes
noticeable as the
wave approaches
shore
27. • A tsunami wave is not like an ocean wave.
This is a typical ocean wave.
60. • An earthquake can cause a slippage in
the plates. This displaces enormous
quantities of water which can cause a
tsunami.
