Tsunami Forecast Models

Tsunami forecast models are tools scientists use to predict the movement and impact of tsunamis. They analyze data like earthquake locations, underwater seismic activity, and ocean conditions to estimate how large a tsunami might be and which areas it could affect. These models simulate how the wave travels across the ocean and reaches coastlines, helping authorities provide early warnings. By combining real-time data with advanced computer simulations, forecast models improve the accuracy and timeliness of tsunami alerts, ultimately helping to save lives and minimize damage.
