__The Science__ //A tsunami is formed by a under water earthquake witch creates waves that go to the shore near a cost near the ring of FIRE. There is a series of waves that are sent to the shore and they crash onto the beach and send water everywhere. The biggest tsunami ever recorded was in Lituya Bay Alaska in 1964. There is still a scar on the shore where the water was! Tsunamis can be dangerous because they destroy everything in there path from buildings to plant life.//

__Historical Tsunami__ //In Lituya Bay Alaska, a "mega tsunami" occurred. It was in July 9th 1958. It was the biggest tsunami ever recorded in human history. So an earthquake caused a landslide and fell off a ledge and made a HUGE tsunami. It covered the whole bay and there is still a scar along the coast line where the water was! I think the mountains shot back the waves when the water smashed into them. This tsunami had a big effect on the area that it hit and the damages did something to the land around where it hit.//
