The only way that we humans can predict tsunamis is just about the same as the way we predict the earthquakes that cause them. The Quake releases p-waves that are extremely fast and non-destructive, before the main S-waves and Rayleigh waves do the damage. Places with alarms like Japan will usually detect these and give a warning that's up to a minute and a half in advance for huge earthquakes. It's enough time to shut off gas, elevators, etc. and often enough time for people to get to safety if they are prepared and don't panic.
What else can I help you with?
When will a tsunami hit Ireland?
It is impossible to predict when a tsunami will happen until it is triggered.
When will America have a tsunami?
Tsunamis have been striking America but not of the magnitude of 2004 Asian Tsunami or 2011Japan Tsunami. But still there are no such instruments or devices which could predict a tsunami or an earthquake.
What methods are there to manage and predict Tsunami?
Some methods to manage and predict tsunamis include building tsunami warning systems with buoys and seismometers to detect seismic activity and water level changes, establishing evacuation plans and drills in at-risk areas, and educating the public on tsunami preparedness. Modeling and simulation studies can also aid in predicting potential tsunami impacts.
How scientists predict tsunamis?
Scientists predict tsunamis using a combination of seismic data from underwater earthquakes, data from deep-sea buoys that can detect changes in water pressure, and computer models that simulate tsunami generation and propagation. By analyzing these data sources, scientists can forecast the timing, location, and potential impact of a tsunami.
What are some ways to solve the problem that cause by the tsunami?
In the same as you can't predict earthquakes and volcanoes, you can't predict tsunamis, though a seisomograph would indicate the possibility of nearby tsunami. Maybe the only real solution is to build on higher land.
What do scientist use to predict a tsunami?
They use a seismograph to predict tsunamis.
When will a tsunami hit Ireland?
It is impossible to predict when a tsunami will happen until it is triggered.
Will there be a tsunami in california?
It is impossible to predict when a tsunami will occur until it actually starts.
Is there going to be a tsunami in california?
No one can predict this.
Will there be a tsunami in california 2012?
It is impossible to predict when a tsunami will occur until it actually starts.
What are the warnings for a tsunami?
You can't really predict a tsunami, but If you hear about any underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, that can sometimes mean there will be a tsunami.
Are tsunami predictable?
It depends on what exactly you mean by predictable. If you mean is it possible to predict when a tsunami will happen, then the answer is negative. Tsunami are most commonly caused by seismic activity of tectonic plates, which creates a sudden, violent displacement of water. This means that to predict a tsunami, one must first be able to predict the earthquake, which, at the present time, is not possible. If you mean if it is possible to predict the behaviour of a tsunami, then the answer is yes. Tsunami follow set equations of wave behaviour, and therefore elements such as speed, height, wave period etc can be found and modelled.
Is the Indian Ocean going to be hit by another Tsunami in 2012?
There are yet no instruments which could predict a Tsunami. So, it can't be told whether a tsunami will come or not.
Does the Bible predict Japan having an atomic leak after an earthquake and tsunami?
No
When will America have a tsunami?
Tsunamis have been striking America but not of the magnitude of 2004 Asian Tsunami or 2011Japan Tsunami. But still there are no such instruments or devices which could predict a tsunami or an earthquake.

What do scientists do to predict tsunamis?
they predict other natural disasters like earthquakes and see if the trembles will reach the other side of the ocean causing a tsunami.
