With dramatic images and first-hand survivor stories plus the latest facts and figures this book takes you inside the terrifying waves of a tsunami.
Tsunamis are huge waves that move very quickly and cause great destruction. Readers will learn how people predict and prepare for tsunamis and how they survive after one of these giant waves hits. Diagrams and photographs enhance the text and give students a better understanding of how these natural disasters work and the damage they can cause. STEM topics from the Next Generation Science Standards are discussed throughout. Readers will love learning about this incredible earth science topic.
This book discusses the science behind tsunamis. The chapters describe destructive tsunamis and their aftermath, explain why tsunamis occur, and explore scientists' efforts to predict these disasters. Diagrams, charts, and photos provide opportunities to evaluate and understand the scientific concepts involved.
What is the difference between a tsunami and a tidal wave? Who helps people affected by tsunamis? How can people prepare for tsunamis? Can tsunamis be predicted? Case studies of recent tsunamis, including the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, are examin

"Describes the worst tsunamis in history, as well as causes, types, and disaster tips"--Provided by publisher.
The world's foremost experts write about the dynamics of geophysical processes involved in tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation, along with the statistical and geophysical properties of tsunami recurrence, and their application to tsunami forecasts and warnings.
"A discussion of major types of natural disasters, including descriptions of some of the most destructive; explanations of these phenomena, what causes them, and where they occur; and information about how to prepare for and survive these forces of nature.

Tsunamis are underrated as major hazards, mainly due to the misconceptions that they occur infrequently and happen along some distant shoreline. However, evidence for past great tsunami has recently been discovered along apparently aseismic and protected coastlines, such as those of Australia and Western Europe. This is a comprehensive and well illustrated textbook on all aspects of tsunami. It can be used by a student or layperson to gain encyclopedic knowledge about tsunami.
