Terrible Tsunamis

When the giant waves called tsunamis crash ashore, destruction can be terrible. While they can happen in any ocean, about 80 percent of tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean's 'Ring of Fire,' or the place where many earthquakes happen because it's where several tectonic plates meet. Readers learn all about what causes tsunamis and where they are most likely to happen in this book. The effects of climate change are also covered, as well as safety tips and information about tsunami prediction and warnings.
