Tsunamis A tsunami (pronounced “soo-nah-mee”) is a series of ocean waves caused by any large, abrupt disturbance of the sea-surface. Earthquakes cause most tsunamis, but a tsunami can also be generated by landslides, volcanic activity, or rarely by meteor impact. If the disturbance is close to the coastline, a local tsunami can cause death and destruction among coastal communities within minutes. A very large disturbance, such as the magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the Japanese coast in 2011, can generate waves that cause local devastation and destruction thousands of miles away. . How did the basketball get from Japan to Alaska?

Remember….

• Every map serves a purpose.

• Every map advances an interest.

• Every map has a story to tell.

All maps have a purpose….. All maps tell a story. Since all maps are created for a purpose, they show particular information about a geographic area. Examples:

• Political Information • Physical Geography • Economic /Agricultural Information • Social/Cultural Information
