Yes, tsunamis can be observed from space, but not in the same way as terrestrial features like mountains or cities. Satellites equipped with radar and optical sensors can detect the changes in sea surface height and temperature caused by a tsunami. However, the waves are often too small to be seen directly from space; instead, the data collected helps scientists monitor and predict tsunami behavior.
