Critical Thinking
* Why is a tsunami warning system less necessary in the Atlantic Ocean than in the Pacific Ocean? (much less earthquake activity in the Atlantic)
* How can people in Asia be better defended against tsunamis? (build a better warning system, build towns away from the water, build houses on stilts)
National Science Education Standards
* Structure of the Earth system: plate tectonics
* Natural and human-induced hazards: earthquakes and tsunamis
