They track the winds, according to season and temperature, usually, the info they do collect only shows patterns after the event takes place. They're trying to perfect it, but the weather is still pretty unpredictable. Scientist closely monitor areas that are frequently hit by tsunamis, such as coastal areas located near plate boundaries, and record wave heights and speeds etc. sometimes using buoys that are placed on the water surface off the coast. If there are anything unusual recordings, the scientists will be alerted and hopefully predict the arrival time of the tsunami accurately, or rather, before it strikes.
What else can I help you with?
When will the Japan tsunami hit the west coast?
See below for a link to a list of all the expected landing times for the tsunami, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Note from the source: This list gives estimated times of arrival for locations along the North American Pacific coast from a tsunami generated at the given source location. THE LISTING OF A TSUNAMI ARRIVAL TIME BELOW DOES NOT INDICATE A WAVE IS IMMINENT. The listed arrival time is the initial wave arrival. Tsunamis can be dangerous for many hours after arrival, and the initial wave is not necessarily the largest.
What are scientists that might be able to predict landslides?
Scientists usually use extensometer. But it is difficult to measure the whole landslide area.
When do you know a tsunami is going to happen and what are the sign to look out for?
If your living along the coastline, or in an area near the ocean/sea, a massive earthquake often meant a change in tectonic plates under the ground. that's a sign of a tsunami. often a siren warning is given, and it is an instinct to move to a higher ground regardless of how strong you think the earthquake is. its better to be safe than sorry.
What date is Mount Tambora exspected to erupt again?
There is no specific date when Mount Tambora is expected to erupt again. Volcanic eruptions are difficult to predict with certainty, but given its history of major eruptions in the past, scientists closely monitor the volcano for any signs of potential activity.
How many times a day will a volcano erupt in one day or 24 hours?
The frequency of volcanic eruptions varies greatly depending on the volcano. Some volcanoes may have multiple eruptions in a day, while others may have much longer periods of inactivity between eruptions. It is not possible to predict the exact number of eruptions that may occur in a 24-hour period for any given volcano.

Why are scientists able to predict tides in advance?
Scientists can predict tides in advance using mathematical models based on the gravitational interaction between the Earth, the moon, and the sun. By understanding the positions and motions of these bodies, scientists can accurately forecast the height and timing of tides in a given location.
How do scientists predict floods?
Scientists predict floods by monitoring weather patterns, river levels, and land conditions. This data is input into computer models that simulate how water will flow and accumulate in a given area. By analyzing this information, scientists can forecast when and where floods are likely to occur, allowing for appropriate preparedness and response measures to be put in place.
Can tidal turbines be used for tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are too irregular and infrequent to be a reliable source of energy. Furthermore, the size of a tsunami in any given location is difficult to predict. We have turbines that can generate power from the tides or from ordinary waves, but these would liely be damaged or destroyed in a tsunami.
Why do you think scientists are able to predict where in the night sky a planet will be visible?
Scientists can predict the position of planets in the night sky using mathematical models based on our understanding of planetary motion. By taking into account the planet's orbit, speed, and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies, scientists can accurately calculate its position at any given time. This information allows them to forecast when and where the planet will be visible from Earth.
What are scientists that might be able to predict landslides?
Scientists usually use extensometer. But it is difficult to measure the whole landslide area.
Why do people study newton's laws of motion?
Engineers and Scientists use Newton's laws and their resulting equations, in order to help predict the motion of objects on the macroscopic level. They use them to predict where an object will be at a given time under certain initial conditions.
What name is given to a tidal wave?
Tsunami is the name given to a tidal wave.
What aid is being given for 2004 tsunami victmis?
aid have always bin in Africa, but more were given out when the tsunami happened, now everyone is dieing in Africa of aid and HIV.
Why do not any of you know the answer for what time eartquakes occur?
About 300 or so measurable earthquakes occur around the world each day. So far, it is not possible to predict the time when an earthquake will occur. The best scientists can do is predict the frequency (once in how many years) an earthquake of a specific intensity will occur on a given fault line.
What name is given to a tidal surge cause by under ocean earthquakes?
Tsunami
