    This document contains information about tsunamis and earthquakes. It includes activities and questions about how tsunamis are formed by earthquakes on the ocean floor and the different effects of tsunamis far from and near the coast. Signs that a tsunami may be coming include sudden rises in coastal water levels, roaring sounds from the sea, and strong earthquakes. For a tsunami to be destructive, the generating earthquake typically needs to be above magnitude 7.5 on the Richter scale.

    Activity 1- Word Search Puzzle


    Directions: Copy the puzzle on your answer sheet
    and ENCIRCLE the words listed under the word
    bank.
    Activity 2 – Oh My “soo - nah – me” (Tsunami)!
    Q1.What was formed in the water by the swift push of the plastic board?
    A wave was created in the water.
    Q2. How was the water level by the object/s affected by the wave?
    It went higher.
    Q3. What does the movement of the water represent? How about the
    object/s?
    Water takes place of the sea and the object is the land.
    Q4. What does the plastic board signify?
    It represents the rock that had a sudden move along with the underwater
    fault.

    Activity 5: Answer the questions below based on the


    content discussed.
    1. How is a tsunami generated or produced?
    It is generated by the sudden force out of underwater fault.
    2. Why is a tsunami more damaging than tidal waves or wind-surfaced
    waves?
    In the deep ocean, although they look smaller in height than some wind
    waves, tsunamis can rise to much higher heights and cause much more
    damage than coastal wind waves.
    3. How are tsunamis and earthquakes associated?
    When slabs of rock shift past each other abruptly, most tsunamis are
    caused by massive earthquakes on the sea floor, causing the surrounding
    water to move. Which resulting waves travel away from the earthquake
    event's source.
    4. Describe a tsunami when it is far from the coast.
    On a surface of the ocean floor, a tsunami may be less than a foot in
    height, which is why fishermen do not feel it. But the strong energy shock
    wave moves quickly across the ocean as quickly as a passenger jet.

    5. Describe a tsunami when it is near the coast.


    A tsunami, unnoticeable at sea, can grow to be several meters or more in
    height close to the coast due to this wave effect. A tsunami can appear as
    a rapidly rising or falling tide, a series of breaking waves, or even a bore,
    when it eventually reaches the shore.

    6. Give three signs that a tsunami is possibly coming in a coastline.


    Any sudden rise significantly of the coastal water, some sound of roar
    from the sea and a serious earthquake that causes trouble hanging.
    7. What kind of fault movement will create a tsunami?
    A reverse faults
    8. How strong should an earthquake be, before it can produce a
    destructive tsunami?
    Typically, to create a devastating tsunami, it takes a Richter magnitude
    above 7.5 of an earthquake.
