Geoscientist Influence On Tsunamis

What are tsunamis, and how can we decrease deaths among the human population? Tsunamis are created when underwater tectonic plates rub up against each other creating potential energy and then when they shift, the potential energy turns into kinetic energy which create a very fast wave. Geoscience helps us to better understand them through many ways. Once a tsunami starts, they won’t stop because of all the energy but there are ways to warn people about them through the uses of geoscience. First, geoscientists can predict when and where a tsunami will be formed based on things like earthquake information, detection buoys, tide gauges, etc. these specific tools allow geoscientists to know when to warn the public to evacuate because of tsunamis.
