Science project - tsunami?

Question

I'm trying to build a homemade appartus of a tsunami. anyone have any ideas ?

Answer 1

Sorry, really couldn't think of one..

unless it is does not require water.

maybe you can draw the high waves on a cardboard

and cut it out.

then you make a stand and stick the cardboard to it.

that's what i can think of.

Answer 2

Since a Tsunami is caused by an event that either happens underwater or something hitting the water there are a couple of different paths you could try.

Either use something that you could make that you could push water from the bottom that would cause waves.

The other idea is to make a container (perhaps rubbermaid) that looks like beach front and has enough space that it contains water. The other side you could have something as a mountain that would represent a landslide or something that would fall in the water that would cause a tsunami that would flood the opposite beach.

Answer 3

This is a incredibly simple project scheme, but it's the most accurate replica of a tsunami you can do at home. Hope it didn't find you too late.
