Fun Fact

Did you know a Tsunami COULD hit Lake Superior??? 

Tsunami are formed/generated when:
- Earthquake on subduction zone occurs
- Volcanic eruptions underwater
- Volcanic Flank collapse
- Landslides and Rockfalls
- Asteroid Impact

Lake Superior is not really near any subduction zones or volcanoes, BUT a landslide, rockfall or asteroid impact COULD cause a tsunami.

Crazy right??


I'm studying for my Natural Hazards exam... Have a good night!!

We watched the following video in class on Monday because it was relevant to our hurricane relief discussion.
