The 2004 Asian Tsunami

Year 9 - We are really moving along this term!  We've already learned about what causes earthquakes and volcanoes, where we can find each and how we can measure earthquakes.  Now comes the really interesting bit...our case study! 

First up: Earthquakes!!!

We're going to start by examining the 2004 Asian Tsunami - What physical processes caused the tsunami?  What were its immediate impacts?  What were the long term impacts?  How did people cope?  Why did some countries cope better than others?  What can we do in the future to limit the impacts of tsunamis?

Take a look at some of the photos and videos from the Tsunami - How would you describe the impacts of this natural hazard?
