The speed can be from winds, slopes, maybe because of the rate at which the ground moves in an earthquake, or the massive displacement from a landslide. These all are causes of why a tsunami can move so fast.
A little more...Tsunamis are not wind waves, and move much faster than wind waves, so the wind, slopes, etc. do not in fact make much difference in the overall Speed Over Ground (SOG) of a tsunami.Instead, it's more related to wavelength. Tsunamis have a very small height or amplitude but a very long wavelength, and the math shows waves with long wavelengths travel faster.
The slippage of the earth, superfast asteroid or meteor strikes, localized, nuclear blasts, and the like can create tsunami waves. Wind doesn't.
In mid-ocean, where there's no friction against the bottom, a tsunami can travel roughly between 550-700MPH. As the bottom shallows, they slow down and pile up.
Shallow water.
The water tries to contain the same amount of energy,
as it gets to the shore there is less mass of water, so instead it goes higher.
tsunami goes so fast because it comes from sea only makes tsunami fast
The tsunami can flood as fast as a commercial jet plane.
actualy they go about 300-400 miles per hour. yeah pretty fast!^ I know that the waves from the tsunami in Japan, were travelling across the ocean at speeds of 8000km.in deep open sea, they can go 500 mph or more

That is a tsunami

A tsunami is not a wind-related event, so the wind could be going any speed.
I will run as fast as i can and go into the place where tsunami will not reach.
You should stay away from the tsunami in the beach so that you will not go to near to the tsunami.

Very very fast
about 80km
it was about 150 mph
That is a tsunami
It should be --- Look at you, go so fast.
