Tsunami - the science behind the waves

Published: May 11, 2020, 7 p.m.

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.
