I recommend you this video to better understand how a tsunami is formed:
Let’s see how a tsunami can be forceful enough to drag whole houses into the ocean when it recedes! This activity is all about creating a scaled-down tsunami that can fit on your table. Read on for more instructions!
Tsunami Activity
Our next activity was to recreate a tsunami. In a flat pan,
You have to built up a sandy beach (sand, corn flour) and built
little houses.
Then, add some water and create an earthquake. You will see that
when the table is given a good shake the tsunami hit
fill force.
