B Block Physical Geography 12 - Today we'll start by watching the CBC video Japan's Tsunami: Caught on Camera. Don't forget the questions in your week 4 package:

Why can tsunamis cause such damage and devastation? What are some characteristics of the wave that factor into how much damage it could cause? How do coastal or shoreline features factor into the extent of damage? What role could a warning system play? How effective would a warning system be for the west coast of Vancouver Island? Why?

D Block Criminology 12 - Today your journal / blog entry is to post your response to Friday's question:
