hi we are doing tsunami our words are energy particles tumble circle tsunami column shallow earthquake now we know what earthquake is that should obviously be something we all know shallow is when something is not too deep column it's like this this is call of vertical up and down line of some kind tsunami we know great wave that comes over the land circle tumble when you fall particles particles are tiny microscopic things that we can't see but they make up everything an energy energy is something that helps that moves gives you force or power so choose one new word and write it will just do particles all right tsunami I'll bring my camera closer all right do you think and do you think of energy when you look at wave wave is one way that energy moves from place to place it looks like wave pushes water to the shore wave does not push water forward think about goal sitting on the water the gull Bob's up and down it does not move forward the goal and the water stay in the same place wave is made up of tiny bits of water the tiny bits are water particles the energy of the wave makes the particles tumble in circle the particles tumble around in circles as the wave passes through most waves are made when the wind blows across the water these waves are close to the water's surface they are wind driven tsunamis are different type of wave they are not wind driven tsunamis start when the force pushes energy through column of water the energy moves up the energy flows outward it flows outward from the center and large circles waves spread in all directions the waves may stretch down to the ocean floor they may stretch for thousands of miles or kilometres across the ocean in the open ocean at tsunamis waves maybe only 3 feet 1 meter high they may be nothing more than small humps rolling across the water the waves change near land the water becomes shallow the bottom of the wave begins to drag on the shallow floor this slows down the lower part of the waves the top of the waves keep going they grow taller they can become killer waves they can toss rocks onto shore they can toss boats onto shore they can crush houses earthquakes are the most common cause of tsunami on December 26 2004 big earthquake earthquake struck it was on the floor of the Indian Ocean the movement disturbed huge column of water the huge waves spread out they hit the shores of close and far away countries more than three hundred and ten thousand people were killed it was the deadliest tsunami in recorded history now we want to go over to our next page tsunami it says after reading the story answer the questions fill in the circle to the correct answer next to the correct answer now number one what causes wave to change when it's near land the wave starts getting taller the energy making the wave is used up the water particles start tumbling faster the bottom part of the wave begins to drag on the shallow floor we want and I'm going to make it easier so you guys can start to learn this we want okay here we go at the bottom the waves the bottom of the waves begin to drag on the shallow floor alright number two tsunami is wind-driven wave form of energy moving from place to place nothing more than small humps rolling across the water water particles tumbling only in circles close to the surface which one do you guys think it is it should be be form of energy moving from place to place am trying to find that answer that was wind driven and they were not when driven tsunamis are force well as this pushes their start when force pushes energy through column of water alright number two this story is mainly about energy earthquakes how water particles move different types of waves our answer is different types of waves so we had wind urban waves and energy driven waves for what happened December 26 2004 more than three thousand ten hundred three hundred and ten thousand people were killed huge column of water was disturbed that tsunami started an earthquake on the ocean floor an earthquake struck the surface of the Indian Ocean we want wait we want but we actually that is correct as well I'm going I'm looking at the answers as well it says be huge column of water was disturbed but on December 24th night December 26 2004 more than three hundred and ten thousand people were killed so technically that is correct as well now this isn't correct because the tsunami did not start on the ocean floor did not start an earthquake the earthquake happened and then the tsunami happened and the earthquake struck the surface it didn't strike the surface is struck under the ocean so these ones are not correct I'm gonna say if you chose either one of those that's correct because it did say more than three hundred and ten thousand people were killed but maybe they didn't all died on December 26 all right think about how the word wave relates tsunami which words relate in the same wave way so we have wave and tsunami so wave well tsunami is type of wave so we have bird goal energy water shallow tall earthquake Indian we want to go with bird and gold goal like seagull is type of
