Are tsunami predictable?

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.
