Tsunamis and Floods

by Jayne Keedle

Life on Earth could not exist without water. But water is also responsible for some of the worst natural disasters. The massive waves of a tsunami can wipe out everything in their path. Floods can wash away homes and crops and leave whole cities underwater. In this book, you'll see what causes tsunamis and floods, the damage they cause, and how scientists are working to protect people from these powerful forces of nature.
