What are some ways tsunamis can be predicted?

tsunamis are uaually predicted if an earthquake occurs befor then you can expect a tsunami to happen next if you live in a city or town with a ocean near by.Tsunamis are predicted using both satellite and electronic equipment which detects the slightest tremor in the ocean. Calculations are then made about distance from shore, recent weather and the size of the tremor to estimate the probibility.


Are there any big changes that tsunamis have made to the earth?

Tsunamis can cause significant changes to coastal landscapes by eroding shorelines, depositing sediment in new areas, and altering habitats for marine life. In some cases, tsunamis have triggered underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions that can have longer-lasting effects on the Earth's geology.


How are tornadoes prevented or predicted?

Can't prevent them but they are predicted by weather observations. This is called meteorology. Tornados can be predicted but what can't be predicted is how they move or where they will go next.


Where do you find tsunamis the most?

Tsunamis are most commonly found in the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, which is an area known for its tectonic activity. This region includes the coasts of countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the west coast of the United States. Areas near subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide, are particularly prone to generating tsunamis.


Seismic sea waves which approach the coasts at greater force are known as?

Tsunamis. Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that have the potential to cause significant damage when they reach coastal areas.

Can tsunamis be predicted?

yes a tsunami can be predicted


Are geologists able to measure or predict where a tsunami will occur?

No. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, which cannot be predicted. Some areas have been found to be more easily damaged by a tsunami, and tsunamis can be DETECTED in time to give some warning- but not predicted.

How are earthquakes and tsunamis alike?

There are similar in the following ways:Both are a kind of natural calamity.Both cause loss of lives and property.Both can't be predicted till now.


Do tsunamis occur in deserts?

No, tsunamis do not occur in deserts. Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by underwater seismic activity, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, and they affect coastal areas, not deserts.


Is there a connection between tsunami and extreme rain?

In virtually all cases, no. Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes. However, there is one potential exception. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides. Heavy rain can cause landslides in some areas.


What areas of the world are prone to tsunamis?

Iht is Japan And Philliopian :)


How come tsunamis happen in in few areas and not in the others?

some countries has a big and strong mountain blocking the waves and some doesn't like Hawaii


Does tsnamis occur in some places than other?

Tsunamis can occur in more places than others because of their location. Usually, areas which see many underwater earthquakes are more prone to have tsunamis. The west coast and Hawaii are two places where tsunamis can take place.


Where are tsunamis likely to occur?

Tsunamis are most likely to occur along areas of high tectonic activity, which is the trigger of Tsunamis in the first place. Areas of high tectonic activity are near the edges of plates, like the Pacific-North American plate and the Indian plate.
