Tsunamis

On December 26, 2004, a powerful earthquake occurred below the Indian Ocean near Indonesia. The quake caused a tsunami, as waves raged across the ocean and struck coastal areas with no warning, leaving devastation behind. At least 225,000 people died, hundreds of thousands were injured, and more than 1 million were left homeless. This book will examine tsunamis, explaining what they are, what causes them, how scientists study them and the destruction they leave in their wake.Parks, Peggy J. is the author of 'Tsunamis', published 2005 under ISBN 9780737733808 and ISBN 0737733802.
