Explanation of Solution

Nowadays it has been that the level of water in the sea is increasing year by year.

The figure below shows the increase in the sea height with years.

Munson, Young and Okiishi's Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, Binder Ready Version, Chapter 10.7, Problem 1LLP

Figure-(1)

One of the reason behind this increase is global warming, due to global warming the there is thermal expansion of sea water, melting of ice in the glaciers. Tsunami is also on of the outcome.

Methods to stop Global warming:

1) Use of renewable energies

2) Sustainable transportation

3) Sustainable infrastructure

4) Responsible consumption and recycling

Method to predict to occurrence of tsunamis or damaging waves:

1) Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis:- Tsunamis occur due to pressure difference in reason to reason and this method use to detect slight changes in water pressure.

2) Tide gauges and buoys: Gauges are installed to measure the changes in the sea level and by measuring the level of changes prediction can be made about the Tsunamis.

3) Satellite:- It is one of the good method to predict the occurrence of tsunamis.
