There are various ways tsunamis are detected:

1. there are various geological stations which monitor seismic activity, so when an earthquake is detected (tsunamis can be created by a rupture in a fault line) the tsunami can be detected.

2. Buoy-Bottom Pressure Recorder System

this detects changes in water pressure (when a large volume of water passes over the buoy because of the great weight of the column the pressure increases.

3. Satellite Detection System

They can measure changes in ocean height.

what are tsunamis also known as?

They are commonly called tidal waves. Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning Harbour Wave. The word tsunami can be used in other ways, to mean a major event or something large happening very suddenly.


Why do these changes occur when a tsunami wave is approaching the shore?

When a tsunami wave approaches the shore, two main changes occur: the water level rapidly decreases offshore as the wave pulls water toward it (causing the ebb phase) and then rapidly rises as the wave reaches the shore (causing the flow phase). This phenomenon is due to the displacement of water by the tsunami wave as it travels towards shallower waters.


Is a tsunami a storm?

No. While a tsunami can be considered a type of flood, most floods are not tsunamis. A tsunami is a flood resulting from a large, long wavelength wave usually triggered by an undersea earthquake. Flooding can occur in a number of other ways and due to a number of causes, the most common of which is too much rain.


Are there any man made ways to slow or stop a tsunami from hitting land?

Man-made structures such as sea walls, barriers, and coastal forests can help reduce the impact of a tsunami by absorbing some of the energy of the waves. However, it is challenging to completely stop a tsunami from hitting land due to the sheer force and size of the waves. Early warning systems and evacuation plans are often more effective in saving lives than attempting to physically stop a tsunami.
