A tsunami is a series of long, high sea waves caused by a disturbance in the water. This disturbance can come about in many ways such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite. The size of the wave is dependent on the physical features of the coastline and the ocean floor. This short video gives a brief overview of the science behind these deadly waves.
Bridge DATA - Haunted by Hurricanes
Determine if the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are changing using data from the National Hurricane Center.
The Bridge's own DATA Series is made up of lesson plans (DATA Tips) on many ocean science topics that explore the world of water using the language of science: mathematics. Learn more about the DATA Series.
Join the ocean education conversation! Scuttlebutt is the national email discussion list for educators and scientists interested in talking informally about ocean education ideas, issues and questions.
All educators and scientists interested in marine science education are invited to subscribe. The Bridge staff monitors list activity and often is able to assist in locating expertise to answer questions that teachers post to the list, as needed. The list does not provide research services for students' assignments.
Scuttlebutt carries messages related to marine education that should be of professional interest to many marine educators nationwide. Petitions, political commentary or advocacy, resumes or job requests, requests for donations or votes, crowdsourcing, cross postings and commercial messages are not accepted.
