Video EarThquake and Tsunami in japan 2011
An 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on Friday, the strongest ever recorded in the country and one of the largest anywhere in the last century. The quake churned up a devastating tsunami that swept over cities and farmland in the northern part of the country and set off warnings as far away as the West Coast of the United States and South America.
Waves generated by the quake have forced evacuations in Hawaii and tsunami warnings for the West Coast.
The United States Geological Survey has a map that can put this earthquake, the fifth largest recorded since 1900, in perspective.
Here are some ways to monitor this breaking news, along with some past lesson plans and other resources from The Times, the Learning Network and around the Web that can be adapted to help students understand earthquakes, tsunamis, the culture and history of Japan, disaster relief and related issues.
