Research one pelagic marine species and one benthic marine species. Tell us about the creature including what it eats and what preys on it, its appearance, where in the marine environment it lives, and any special features or adaptations that allow it to survive. You also need to include a photo of each.
Your initial response should be 150 words.

Tsunamis are some of the most destructive national disasters on our planet. They can be caused by landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes. Indonesia sits on the Ring of Fire and is subject to a large number of earthquakes, volcanoes, and their resulting Tsunamis. Indonesia has 147 volcanoes of which 76 are active and is comprised of over 17,500 islands. This means that have a great deal of coastline at risk.
Tsunamis are difficult to manage, partly due to the fact that we cannot predict when earthquakes will strike or when volcanoes will erupt. Once detected, a Tsunami warning can be sent out. Some regions due to their close proximity only have about 15 minutes notice before the Tsunami occurs. This is a specific problem in regions like Indonesia that tend to be close to the site where the Tsunami is generated. The 2004 Tsunami in the Indian ocean killed 227,000 people in an afternoon. The wave was in excess of 100 feet high and traveled in some regions over 200 miles an hour and more that 4.9 miles inland.
Please watch the following videos. Then write a 150-word response.
With such little notice and the inability to predict Tsunamis what can be done to assist the 267 million people who live in Indonesia and Tsunami prone areas?
Can you imagine living in this region and having to deal with these instead of hurricanes?
What would you do if you lived in this region and received notice that a Tsunami was going to hit within an hour?
This is a tough and serious reality faced by people in several regions of our world.
