tsunami models

Tsunami models are computer simulations that predict how a tsunami might travel across the ocean after an event like an earthquake. They consider factors like the seabed shift, water depth, and coastal geography to forecast the wave's size, speed, and arrival time at different locations. These models help authorities plan evacuations and prepare responses by providing accurate, timely forecasts of a tsunami’s potential impact. Essentially, they’re digital tools that mimic real-world physics to understand and anticipate tsunami behavior for safety and risk management.
