In this episode, I talk about the science of Tsunamis - those horrifying waves that spread around the oceans after certain geological events. What are those events? How do the waves travel? How can we warn people? What if I am on the coast - what should I look for?
If you want a classroom activity, have a go at constructing this 3D paper tsunami model. Just print out, cut, and glue.
