There are many precautions that are taken place for tsunami's in coastal places. But is very hard to actually detect if a tsunami is going to take place. In Japan and other countries in that area there are certain machines on the bottom of the ocean to detect if a earthquake is taken place. If the earthquake has a large magnitude then they will set of the tsunami warning. Although most of the time these warnings are false. So how is it possible that people can detect a tsunami.
One possible idea that may be achievable is that in the near future scientists are able to create some sort of machine that is able to keep a record of the ocean waves. If this were done then it could happen that we could detect a tsunami in the ocean in time before it is close to shore. This way many lives could be saved since the tsunami will not be reaching any shore.
