As astonishing as these huge waves might be, they’re also a deadly phenomenon happening more often around the world. Readers will encounter some of the most destructive tsunamis of all time while they explore the science behind these occurrences. An explanation of plate tectonics and wave formations are a few of the exciting science concepts that readers are introduced to through real-life examples and lots of surprising facts. Full-color photographs and detailed illustrations will guide readers through one of nature’s scariest disasters, while highlighting the populations tsunamis have affected—and those they will affect in the future.
