Can animals predict tsunamis?
Before the tsunami in Sri Lanka, coastal animals seemed to sense something was coming and fled to safety. Wildlife experts believe animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the Earth's vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what's going on.
And another question, can you detect a tsunami in the open ocean?
Tsunamis are detected by open-ocean buoys and coastal tide gauges, which report information to stations within the region. Tide stations measure minute changes in sea level, and seismograph stations record earthquake activity. The DART system can detect a tsunami as small as a centimeter high above the sea level. Subsequently, how much warning is there before a tsunami? Experts believe that a receding ocean may give people as much as five minutes' warning to evacuate the area. Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves and that the first wave may not be the most dangerous. The danger from a tsunami can last for several hours after the arrival of the first wave.
