Want this question answered?
It is impossible to predict when a tsunami will happen until it is triggered.
they cant really, they just happen... it's a natural hazard so you cant really tell but nice question ;) 8==========D o: |: (:
they predict other natural disasters like earthquakes and see if the trembles will reach the other side of the ocean causing a tsunami.
they use satellites to see if there is high or low pressure.
It depends on what exactly you mean by predictable. If you mean is it possible to predict when a tsunami will happen, then the answer is negative. Tsunami are most commonly caused by seismic activity of tectonic plates, which creates a sudden, violent displacement of water. This means that to predict a tsunami, one must first be able to predict the earthquake, which, at the present time, is not possible. If you mean if it is possible to predict the behaviour of a tsunami, then the answer is yes. Tsunami follow set equations of wave behaviour, and therefore elements such as speed, height, wave period etc can be found and modelled.
yes
virtually it is impossible for the scientists to predict when the next eruption will happen
Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
They use a seismograph to predict tsunamis.
It is impossible to predict when a tsunami will occur until it actually starts.
They use satalites to look at areas of high and low pressure and therefore can predict the path of the tsunami. Also whoever wrote that answer before this should be banned from this site, it was uncalled for.
No one can predict this.
