Chance has it that I had this activity in store when the earthquake in Japan hit.

Self-study activity:
No activity this time. Watch the clip and try to understand as much as possible. Then check whatever you understood against the transcript here.
As a follow-up try to explain tsunamis in your own words, without reading the transcript.
