How are tsunamis predicted?
1) “How to Predict a Tsunami” “Tsunamis have killed more than 70,000 people during the 20th century, and thousands more since the beginning of the 21st. The ability to predict a tsunami is still in its earliest stages. Predictors range from primitive visual cues to complex satellite data. The best place to predict tsunamis is in an area where earthquakes are likely.” “Difficulty: Challenging Instructions Things You’ll Need: Satellites Pressure sensors Topographical maps Step 1 Run a computer simulation of the effects of earthquakes in various areas of the globe. Run the simulation just after an earthquake with an epicenter in the ocean, in order to predict where the resulting tsunami is likely to occur. Step 2 Use a pressure sensor at the bottom of the ocean to determine if a tsunami has started, as well as how large it might be. Step 3 Map the locations of the places most prone to tsunamis. Consult the data currently being compiled by satellite along with geological data for maps of t
