A tsunami is a series of waves that are caused by a disturbance to the ocean floor. Some examples of these disturbances are: -Earthquakes -Volcanic eruptions A tsunami can be very small while in the ocean but can grow very large by the time it hits the lands surface Tsunamis are very powerful and dangerous WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?

Tsunami data comes from many different sources. One way Tsunami's are detected are by DART buoys located in the ocean. Others are through the internet. Another way Tsunamis are detected are by satellite and even telephone lines HOW DO TSUNAMIS GET DETECTED? Here is a DART buoy used to detect Tsunamis

Tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia often. But, tsunamis also occur in the Mediterranean Sea area and happen in the Caribbean Sea too. Tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia more often because there are a lot of earthquakes in that zone. TSUNAMI ACTIVITY Tsunami in Tohoku Japan last year on March 11.

In conclusion, Lindsey has an important job, she warns people of incoming tsunamis. I want to thank her for being my mentor and teaching me about her profession. The jobs in this field are important. This would be a great career to go into if your interested in tsunamis! CONCLUSION
