This resource is a case study of the 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami that struck the area of Sendai and Japan. The magnitude 9 earthquake could be felt over a large area, and triggered a 40ft Tsunami wave. Due to Japan being a HIC/MEDC/ Developed country the country was well prepared for the event and amazingly only 15000 people died. However the quake caused many other significant economic and environmental problems. This resource uses a BBC News article from the day that is linked from the worksheet. Pupils respond to the video and answer various factual questions and are asked to summarise the events of the day with a tweet. This is a good resource for a cover lesson, home learning, or introduction to the event.
