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.


What are the warnings for a tsunami?

No


How scientists predict tsunamis?

They use satalites to look at areas of high and low pressure and therefore can predict the path of the tsunami. Also whoever wrote that answer before this should be banned from this site, it was uncalled for.
