Yes, elephants and almost all other animals can predict earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and most of mother natures unpredictable weather changes. It would be wise to watch the actions of wild animals, horses or even your dog or cat for clues to an on-coming earthquake. Even beetles will show signs of mother nature starting her changes on planet earth. There was a scenario when Thailand was struck by the Tsunami. The elephants were trying to get to higher ground, but their owners didn't pay attention and tried to restrain them, but some elephants managed to cut loose and headed for higher ground with people following them. It was those people who survived thanks to the elephants. The owners said that from now on they are going to listen to their elephants.

∙ 11y agoit is a mystery whether animals can predict them or not. in some ways they can, by sensing change in weather, or behavior of other animals. some believe they can, and others believe that they cannot. whether they can accurately predict an earthquake is a mystery.
hope it helps!

How you detect the arrival of tsunamis?
All that water is usually a good clue.
Are tsunamis occurring more frequently now than they did in the past?
There is no evidence to suggest that tsunamis are occurring more frequently now than they did in the past. Tsunamis are infrequent natural occurrences that have been observed throughout history. However, advancements in technology and increased global connectivity have improved our ability to detect and track tsunamis, leading to better reporting and awareness of these events.
What is the technology that detect a tsunami?
Tsunamis are created through large scale disturbances via rockslides or earthquakes. The technology is limited to seismometers. AS the tsunami travels through the oceans, sensors detect change in water pressure, satellites can also be helpful at this stage. Once the tsunami reaches the shore, the height and strength is dependent upon the topography.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
How can we prevent tsunamis?
Tsunamis cannot be prevented.
How you detect the arrival of tsunamis?

Why are tsunamis hard to detect?
because they start small, and far apart
Are all tsunamis sea-based?
Yes, all tsunamis are sea-based they form at the sea. That is where scientists detect a tsunami. The word tsunami is japenese
Do elephants use their trunks and feet to detect sounds?
yes
What are the solutions for the Boxing Day tsunami?
they put up buoys in the indian ocean to detect future tsunamis
What are the elephant sense of smell?
Elephants have a fierce sense of smell. Elephants can detect water with their sense of smell that is over 11 miles away.
Do an elephant have super sense?
yes,a elephant has a super sense. it is its huge ears.

What is the US doing to avoid tsunami?
Nothing can be done to avoid tsunamis. However, measures are in place to minimise the effects of tsunamis. Effective, early warning systems and technological equipment to detect seismic action both play a major part.
Earthquakes are frequent in California US so is California prepared on their beaches for Tsunamis?
There is a system of tidal buoys that are designed to detect tsunamis before they hit the shore, but a tsunami caused by an earthquake along the coast would hit the beach before any alarm could be given.

How do you check an elephants pulse?
Elephants have very thick skin, so feeling the pulse through the skin isn't an option. However, a simple ultrasound can detect the blood flowing in an artery and the heart rate (pulse) can be checked that way.
