Tsunamigenesis refers to the processes that lead to the formation of tsunamis, typically triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Understanding these processes is crucial for predicting tsunami behavior and mitigating their impact on coastal communities.
Satellite remote sensing is the acquisition of information about the Earth's surface through satellite technology. It enables the monitoring of environmental changes, natural resources, and atmospheric conditions on a global scale.
