{"response":"{\"What is DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis) buoys?

DART is a special system that helps us know when a big wave, called a tsunami, is coming from deep under the ocean.

Imagine you're playing in a pool, and someone jumps in right next to you. The water splashes up quickly, but if they jump far away, it takes longer for the splash to reach you. That’s like what happens with tsunamis: when an earthquake or other big event shakes the ocean floor, it sends out waves that can travel across whole oceans.

Now imagine there are special sensors, kind of like underwater microphones, placed deep in the ocean. These sensors listen for those waves and send messages to a satellite up above. The satellite then tells people on land what it heard. That way, we know if a big wave is coming long before it reaches the shore.

These sensors are part of something called DART, which stands for Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis. It’s like having lots of underwater friends who shout out when they see trouble coming, giving us time to get ready!
