What do I need to do? (1.1-1.2)

 * 1.1 Define the information problem**

Our teacher wants us to follow all the BIG 6 steps in order to complete our Nature's Fury Project. Our group hopes that we will successfully finish this interesting project.


 * 1.2 Identify the information you need in order to complete the task (to solve the information problem)**

Q: Why do eruptions underwater or near the ocean generate tsunamis? A: Because when thrust faults with convergent or destructive plate boundaries move quickly it can result which causes tsunamis.

Q: How do tsunamis form? A: Tsunamis are formed because of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that happen under the sea. When these events happen under the water, huge amounts of energy are let out as a result of fast upward movement.

Q: Why are tsunamis more common in the Pacific Ocean? A: Because the Pacific Ocean has many more subduction zones, which produce the most powerful earthquakes and tsunamis.

Q: Why are tsunamis so big? A: Tsunamis are created by earth quakes and they get bigger because they just pick up the water and drag it along as they move.

Q: Why are tsunamis so dangerous? A: When a tsunami passes under a ship it might not even be noticed by the crew on board. However, when it strikes the shore, it can cause severe damage.

Q: Why do tsunamis appear about 100 feet high in the ocean? A: Tsunamis appear about 100 feet high in the ocean because a tsunami is formed by underwater explosions and earthquakes, making the impact so big that it reaches 100 feet.

Q: Why are tsunamis unseen far out at sea? A:Tsunamis have a small amplitude offshore, and a very long wavelength which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a slight swell usually about 12 in above the normal sea surface.

Q: Why are there so many tsunamis in Japan? A:The Pacific Ocean is surrounded by a "Ring of Fire" that can produce tsunamis. a day, these People living near areas where large earthquakes under the sea happen can find that the tsunami waves will reach their shores within minutes of the earthquake, so the tsunami threat to Japan can be immediate.

Q: Why do tsunamis move slow in shallow water? A: There is a lot of energy in a tsunami, so when it’s in shallow water, more energy is put into going higher instead of going faster.

Q: Why do earthquakes generate tsunamis? A: When an underwater earthquake happens, a lot of the energy gets pushed upward creating a wave called a tsunami.

What can I use to find what I need? (2.1-2.2)
We could use books, websites, videos, encyclopedias, maps, museums, art galleries.
 * 2.1 Determine the range of possible sources (brainstorm)**

The best sources are: books and websites.
 * 2.2 Evaluate the possible sources to determine priorities (select the best sources)**

Where can I find what I need? (3.1-3.2)
Here is the Santa Clara City City Public Library's Location: 2635 Homestead Road, Santa Clara - (408)-615-2900
 * 3.1 Locate sources**

Here are some websites that we were using: [] [] [] []

Here are some words that are similar to Tsunami:
 * 3.2 Find information within sources**
 * Tidal Wave
 * Seismic Sea Wave
 * Tidal Bore
 * Giant Sea Swell
 * Eagre

**What information can I use? (4.1-4.2)**
Sorry, but we didn't take any notes while we were answering our questions.
 * 4.1 Engage the source (read, listen, view, touch)**

Sorry, but we didn't take any notes while we were answering our questions.
 * 4.2 Take out the relevant information from a source**

**What can I make to finish the job? (5.1-5.2)**
Sorry, but we didn't take any notes while we were answering our questions.
 * 5.1 Organize information from multiple sources**

We will present to you our Glogster and Keynote that our group has made.
 * 5.2 Present the information**
