hello Kaylee leaders today we discussed and natural disaster call a tsunami what you already know about a tsunami couple weeks ago we talked about different types of natural disasters tsunamis or one of the different types of natural disasters that I had mentioned I had also mentioned that floods and earthquakes are two NASA disasters that could occur in California but we are going to ask Mommy setlist we live in San Diego and San Diego deaths have peaches and we do have earthquakes Annapolis like happens there's a possibility that a tsunami could happen so this video is going to give us a little introduction about tsunamis I guess that's earthquakes oceans large volcanic eruption when is earthquake on the sea or ocean bed of vertical George's created which is Grayson David and causes extreme tension in water water is pushed upwards but gravity tries to pull it down disc in the water levels moving away from the point of tension on the eyes and windows wave reach the land end Waze constantly increasing height said is not the strongest waves she's almost as fast as a Jet Plane that's why I called killer waves please did you know New Wave. Be less than 30 centimeters in height unnoticed Direction Just looking object and be safe so beautiful you go watch this video to know more about earthquakes off of all that's one of the major causes of this is me next time for more fun facts okay so when is Destin pairing for a tsunami is knowing if your school home or the place to hang out are tsunami Hazard zone list check out a couple places looking at the picture to the right there is a big red dot or Circle the middle of the map this is where Kaylee is located if we look down a turkey we see the word tsunami emergency response planning zone and we see a little symbol looks like a black and white mini waffle well if we look back at the big red. That represents Kaylee there are no little black white mini waffles around or close to it that means Kaylee is not in the zone however if you want to laugh the map by the San Diego Bay there is some of those little black and white mini waffles so let's take a closer look at this looking at the picture to the left there is a big red dot or Circle the middle of the map this is where Mission Bay Park is located she again we see the words tsunami emergency response these words we see the little black and white a waffle well look at the big red daughter Circle that represents Mission Bay Park there are a lot of little black white me waffles around or close to it so that means Mission Bay Park is in the zone meaning that is Tommy could occur in this area so let's see in detail what we can do if we are in an area that is in the zone good afternoon class for today science lesson we're going to learn about tsunamis do we have to what you going to learn in this lesson can save your life someday can anyone tell me what a tsunami is that's right Jasmine actually it's a series of ocean waves that can affect coastal areas like beaches and Bays tsunami is from the Japanese word for Harbor wave call Sandy tsunamis are commonly caused by earthquakes beneath the seafloor class I know you just finished your music lesson with Miss dempo and while I'm sure that was fun I need you to stop fiddling around with your instruments and pay attention to our lesson on tsunamis where was I oh yes wait out in the ocean tsunami waves can be found sounds of miles long and hundreds of miles apart and in the very deep ocean the waves can travel as fast as a Jet Plane 600 miles an hour Watership way out in the ocean feel the waves tsunami waves cannot be felt or seen by ships at Sea the ways of the tsunami in the ocean or small maybe only a few inches high taking you thank you very much Rocky that's quite enough what's a tsunami starts approaching land that's when it becomes dangerous the first wave slows down in shallow water causing the ways behind it to Bunch up together which makes the waves taller so it's only 12 inches high in the deep ocean May grow to a monster wave 100 feet high many times taller than buildings as it sweeps over the shore but usually it's more like a fast-rising flood with very strong currents tsunamis can cause a lot of damage on the show wiping out houses card in hurting people Once An Earthquake happens beneath the ocean how long does it take for the waves to reach the shore there are two types of tsunamis are all local or near Source tsunamis that can happen from nearby earthquakes in Wichita only a few minutes to reach the coastal areas the second kind of tsunami is a distance or tsunami occurring from an earthquake hundreds of miles away and is can take 3 to 22 hours to reach coastal areas is there any time warning for a tsunami the national weather service has two warning centers the Pacific tsunami warning center in Hawaii and the west coast and Alaska tsunami warning center in Alaska scientists happy morning Sinners can figure out when a tsunami will arrive and will notify emergency officials who will tell people in coastal areas to evacuate or leave the area if they know a tsunami is coming the beach like now or near the coast how do we know if there's a local or near Source tsunami and this is the most important part of today's lesson when you're at the beach and you see the water receding or pulling back from the shore that's a key sign so if you see an unusual disappearance of water immediately move Inland away from the ocean and head for Higher Ground another sign is when you're near the ocean and you feel a very strong earthquake earthquake that knocks people off their feet or where you can count shaking for 20 seconds or longer if either one of these happens you want to be back your way in land to Higher Ground right away or you may even hear a loud or more in each of these cases keep calm and immediately moved to Higher Ground ideally 100 feet above sea level which is as tall as a 10-story building or move at least one mile Inland away from river valleys and if you hear about a tsunami warning never go to the coast to watch Bartram tsunamis can be very dangerous well that's it for today science lesson oh okay raise your claws if you now know what to do for sanami great who wants to talk me what they've learned about tsunamis and what we're supposed to do okay Chloe Beckham from here okay so what are three things that you learn from mr. King in preparing for a tsunami let's think about this for a moment okay go ahead and pause the video and let's write down our three things that we were then go ahead and cantina lesson when you're finished okay so the three things that I learned from is working parent for tsunami never one is at the worst tsunami I also learned that tsunamis are mostly caused by earthquake below the seafloor and I also learned that tsunami waves cannot be seen by ships remember a couple weeks ago we found that secret message drop cover and hold on we're going to add two more safety tips the first one is in case of an emergency go to High ground and off of the stay there on The High Ground because of waves may contain 4 hours so those are two additional safety tips so great work the last month with a safety lesson 1 on the fire drill and safety lesson number two on the disaster Trail I have truly enjoyed reading and listening to your thinking on seesaw great and Google Classroom if you're in 3rd 4th or 5th grade I hope you win a lot of good information about tsunamis and how to stay safe talk to you soon bye
