Tsunami introduces the idea of Extreme Natural Events and then moves to focus on tsunamis. After looking at what causes a tsunami, it examines the 2009 Samoan event. The book also covers how New Zealand is affected by not only the Samoan event, but the threat of tsunamis in general.

Tsunami has been designed to be used in both Social Studies and Geography classes. It is packed with new and engaging resources and imagery.

Social Studies classes can use this book to concentrate on the significance of the event. The causes and effects, people.
