Tsunami

I did a report on Tsunamis.  It was fun.  I got to type everything out on the computer and find cool pictures to add to it.  I learned lot's of fascinating things about tsunamis.  I got my information from Pebble Go Next.  Here is a copy of my report.

Tsunami
Attack

     A tsunami is a series of massive waves.
A tsunami looks like a wall as it sweeps across the ocean. The swift wave zooms across the ocean and can powerfully cross it in twenty four hours. You need to be careful there could be more gigantic waves!








     There are warning centers all over the world. The swift moving teams watch for earthquakes because it could mean a tsunami is coming. An advisory lets the public know when a tsunami is coming and it can help save lives.















      There are ways to stay safe from a tsunami. There are physical signs that tell people when a tsunami is coming. The ground can start shaking and the tide starts going out fast. There can also be a loud rumbling and then the warning sirens start up. You need to get to a high place quickly so you can be safe.







     I think tsunamis are exciting because they are gigantic waves that go crashing into cites. I also think they are scary. I am glad we don’t live near the ocean!

  1. Nicely written report Mikayla. I agree that tsunamis are both scary and interesting. In your research, did you find out why they are called tsunamis? That was just a question I wondered. Unfortunately I was unable to view your pictures on the blog. I'm not sure why.
