 Magnetic anomalies created by tsunamis could be detected by satellites. That's the claim of researchers in China, who have created a model that simulates the effect of huge ocean waves on the Earth's magnetic field. The team believes that its work could lead to an early-warning system that can detect the deadly waves in real time.
