Tsunami modeling

Tsunami modeling involves using mathematical and computer simulations to predict how tsunamis behave after they are generated, such as by underwater earthquakes. It considers factors like the seafloor movement, water depth, and coastline shape to estimate the wave's speed, height, and arrival time at different locations. These models help scientists understand potential impacts, guide early warning systems, and inform evacuation plans, ultimately reducing risk and saving lives by providing timely and accurate information about these powerful ocean waves.
