CLEVELAND — 3News meteorologist Jason Frazer loves science and doing school visits. Recently, he kicked off an online series helping kids better understand meteorology. He’s going to be doing weather lessons about a variety of topics including wind, temperature, tornadoes and hurricanes. These lessons are geared to children who are 9 years old and older. He welcomes your questions, too. You can e-mail him directly at JFrazer@WKYC.com or you can contact him on Facebook or Instagram at @JasonFrazerTV.

In today’s lesson, Jason reviews what tsunamis are and what causes them. Watch below:
Tsunamis can be found along the coastline of California, Hawaii and Alaska in the U.S. However, other parts of the world see them more often -- including Japan and countries along what is known as the Ring of Fire. Tsunamis are caused by several things like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
If a tsunami warning is issued in your area, head to higher ground immediately.
A handout for today’s lesson can be found here:
