4 How we can predict a tsunami? If the first part of a tsunami - called drawback – rather then a wave crest, the water along the shoreline recedes dramatically, exposing normally submerged areas.

5 How to prevent a tsunami? We can put tsunami prediction measures in place and evacuate areas where there is an imminent risk of a tsunami Some environmentalists have recommended planting woodland along the shoreline where there is a high risk of tsunamis because the trees can absorb some of the wave's energy
