How can tsunamis be avoided?

Answer 1

If you are quick enough you can get out of the way of it. However no one has yet come up with a way of stopping the earth from making the movements that cause them. The forces are simply too great.

Answer 2

Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes or large underwater landslides. As such they can't be stopped. However their effects can be reduced by the construction of sea defenses.

Coastlines in certain areas of the world are in part protected from tsunami by mangroves where the trees and shrubs act as a buffer zone between the sea and land, acting to reduce or dissipate the energy of a tsunami, reducing its potential impact.

Answer 3

When you see the waves going back into the tide, and they go all the way out. and you can't see any water, get to high ground quick, because you will have a few minutes, before a Tsunami.
