Yes. If there is an earthquake that might have triggered a tsunami warnings are issued for areas it might impact.
No. A basement is the last place you want to be during a tsunami. A tsunami is a massive surge of water. In a basement you are likely to drown. If a tsunami is coming you want to get as high up as possible. The best option, if you are in the danger zone, is to evacuate to higher ground inland. If you cannot then get to the top floor of you building or a nearby building, even on the roof if possible.

Yes, it is possible for an earthquake to trigger a tsunami in the same location. This can occur when an undersea earthquake displaces a large volume of water, causing a tsunami. The proximity of the earthquake's epicenter to the shoreline also affects the likelihood of a tsunami occurring.
While we understand the basics of what causes earthquakes, we cannot see exactly what is going on inside the earth, so we cannot tell if conditions are setting up for an earthquake in the near future. A tsunami can develop in a matter of minutes, but it takes time to reach land. Depending on the distance it may take several hours. During this time it is possible to predict which areas are at risk, and it is even possible to track the tsunami.
While rare, it is possible for a tsunami to affect Nantucket due to its location along the coast. The island's low-lying topography makes it susceptible to flooding from a tsunami, especially if the event is triggered by an earthquake in the vicinity. Local authorities in Nantucket would have an emergency response plan in place to mitigate the impacts of a tsunami if one were to occur.
No it is not
Tsunamis are possible in Pakistan. There was a devastating tsunami in Pakistan in 2004.
Not really. A tsunami isn't an actual part of an earthquake, but is is a possible result of one.
No, it is not possible to swim through a tsunami due to the powerful and destructive force of the waves.
No, it is not possible to swim under a tsunami. Tsunamis are powerful and dangerous ocean waves that can easily overwhelm and drag swimmers along with their force. It is important to evacuate to higher ground if a tsunami is approaching.
No, it is not possible to swim under a tsunami. Tsunamis are powerful and dangerous ocean waves that can easily overwhelm and drag swimmers along with their force. It is safer to evacuate to higher ground if a tsunami is approaching.
No we can not do anything at all.
it is possible if the plates move and one of them slips under the other your tsunami will form.
Yes. Any country that has a shoreline against the sea can be hit by a tsunami
Yes it is possible. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake caused a large tsunami.
Stay as far away from them as possible.
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.
