Tsunami in japan

• The tsunami in Japan caused 25,000 to die
• The Japan tsunami blew up Fukushima a nuclear powerplant
• Japan payed $242,000,000,000 U.S. Dollars (250,000,000,000,000 Yen) 
• They did this to rebuild Japan
• Fukushima (background)

Are the chances increasing because of global warming?

• Himalaya mountain ice melting 
• Arttic ice melting causing tsunamis 

Who does it effect?

• People in: 
• Areas with many earthquakes
• Areas with large bodies of water near by
• Areas in subduction zones

Does it effect other things?

• Animals
• Marine life 

Earthquakes

• Major cause of Tsunamis
• They are not effected by Climate Change
• Can be effected in the future

If Earthquakes are not effected by climate change, why are tsunamis?

• Ice caps melting do not trigger earthquake but trigger Tsunami
• It has the same effect as an earthquake, but is different.

when tsunamis worsen

• 2004 - Indian Ocean Nations, 230,000 dead 
•  Japan - 24,525 dead 
• 1908 Italy, Messina - 123,000 dead
• A tsunami traveling at 30 miles per hour hit
• 1700 pounds per cubic yard of force

Inland people

• knockdown highway and roads

Our solution

20 foot barriers to block the tsunami

• (Diagram will be drawn)

cost

• $242,624,250,000
• Cost to rebuild Japan after tsunami  
• ------------------------------------------------------------
• 3,644,444,444
• Cost to build the barriers with bricks on coast  

Tsunami threats

• 2 every year

Helpers

•  Shinzo Abe (prime minister of japan) 
• Construction workers 
• Japanese Citizens
• Diggers

our plan

• First we will contact Shinzo Abe about the idea. 
• We will ask Japanese citizens to donate.
• We will get construction workers to carry out this plan.
• When build the barrier and level the sand 
• When we are finished we donate the money to tsunami foundations

japan citizens agree?

• Japan destroyed Vs build barriers 
• Japan destroyed ---------> build barriers

Thank you
