Tsunami Models
Tsunami models are scientific tools used to predict the behavior and impact of tsunamis. These models simulate how waves travel across oceans and interact with coastlines, helping researchers understand potential flooding and damage. They rely on data from past tsunamis, ocean floor topography, and seismic activity to create accurate predictions.
There are two main types of tsunami models: numerical models and analytical models. Numerical models use complex mathematical equations and computer simulations to analyze wave dynamics, while analytical models provide simpler, more general solutions. Both types are essential for disaster preparedness and response efforts in coastal areas.
