Damage from the Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean


Summary of the plan for a class On December 26, 2004, the Sumatra earthquake occurred. So we try to explore "How was the damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami?" and "Why were so many human lives lost?" by using the Global Map and statistical data via the GIS software application or by watching a video. And then we will think about "How to protect people 's lives?" and "What should be done to prepare for a tsunami disaster?" together for our future. Finally, our group will make a presentation.
