Cause, effect and response
Tsunamis and extreme weather can change the land suddenly and affect whole communities. Use the case-study cards and a data source to find out how.
Q1. Explain what causes a tsunami. (Hint: it often starts with a geological event.)
Q2. For your assigned event, summarise the cause, the effect on the surface, and how the community responded.
| Question | My answer |
|---|---|
| What caused it? | |
| How it changed the land | |
| How people prepared or responded |
Q3. Look at the data source your teacher gives you. What does it show about the event?
Q4. Suggest one way a community could prepare before the next extreme weather event, and give a reason.
