The next tsunami cannot be predicted at all.
The most likely location of origin will be associated with the boundaries between the many tectonic plates plus along the known major fault lines under or near the oceans and seas. However, these boundaries are hundreds of thousands of miles long and go all around the world. A tsunami can occur thousands of miles away from a point of origin..

It's easy to predict the next tsunami, all you need to do is to predict when the next earthquake will occur in a shallow sea that is likely to produce tsunamis. Now that is the hard part. If anyone could (scientifically) predict when the next earthquake was going to occur, they would win a Nobel Prize. At this stage, seismologists are happy to be able to track tsunamis and warn potential victims.

Where??... in a body of water! Where else would you get tsunamis??

As for a more specific guess, I would say in the Indian or Pacific oceans as they are the more active fault lines (hence the ring of fire).. but then again landslides and meteorites can cause tsunamis as well and they can affect any of the major bodies of water.

That is your project ? It is an impossible task. Nobody can predict when the next submarine earthquake is going to occur. All one can do is to demarcate the potential danger zones (earthquake prone areas) and measure the stress building up along them. Then he can take necessary steps to ensure minimum loss of lives and property. But predicting the exact date is beyond human capabilities as it is a natural phenomena.

no,
a tsumani is a underwater earthequake, there is no way of prdicting an earthquake....
there are advanced warning systems used to provide ppl time to move to a safer place, but the closer u r to the epicentre of the earthquake, the lesser time u have.

There is no way to predict it. We can only detect them after they form.
