Get Ready Alaska - Elena Suleimani with the Alaska Earthquake Center
Earthquakes are the primary cause of tsunamis. As Alaska is one of the most seismically active regions in the world we also have a high tsunami risk in many communities. Dr. Elena Suleimani with the Alaska Earthquake Center joins Get Ready Alaska to talk about how tsunamis are generated, how tsunami energy moves through the ocean, and tsunami warning signs. We also discuss the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake and what was learned in the aftermath of the second largest earthquake ever recorded.
