How does a tsunami warning machine work?
A tsunami warning machine depends on information that comes from a network of sensors. These sensors indicate when an earthquake happens, and geologists decide if a tsunami is likely. If so, they send out a warning. If the wave sensors pick up actual tsunami activity, the tsunami warning machine is activated in each of the areas that is at risk.

Why was there a tsunami warning in the pacific ocean but not in the Indian ocean in 2004?
The tsunami warning in the Pacific Ocean in 2004 was due to the presence of a well-established tsunami detection and warning system, which had been implemented after previous tsunamis in the region. In contrast, the Indian Ocean lacked a comprehensive tsunami warning system at that time, which contributed to the devastating impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The earthquake off the coast of Sumatra triggered massive waves, but without adequate warning, many coastal communities were caught off guard. This highlighted the critical need for improved tsunami awareness and preparedness in vulnerable regions.
