What causes an earthquake? What exactly is a tsunami?

The kids had lots of questions about the news out of Japan this morning. I spoke to each child who brought it up, trying to reassure them and listening to their concerns but we didn't have a class discussion about it yet. We will talk about it next week after I've had a chance to pull together some resources. In the meantime, here are two videos from National Geographic that help explain about  earthquakes and tsunamis.
