it depends on how big it is and how fast it travels.

How far inland did the tsunami reach in Japan?
20 miles
What is the term for a water wave that creates an underwater earthquake?
When an underwater earthquake displacing a large volume of sea water the effect could be a tsunami (tidal wave).
How far inland tsunami wave surge?
The tsunami can flood as fast as a commercial jet plane.
Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called what?
Tsunami is the name of the wave (once known as a tidal wave) that is created by the sudden displacement of a large volume of sea water when an earthquake occurs on the sea floor. As the wave radiate outwards, it can often pass unnoticed by a nearby ship. When the wave reaches a shallow shore, the top of the wave continues at the same speed, while the bottom of the wave is slowed down by friction with the shallow sea floor. This causes the top to grow into a high wave that flows far into land. Damage and loss of life occur as the wave travels inland, picking up debris, then, as the wave retreats, the debris cause further damage as the wave retreats. There is often the case that a further wave(s) may still happen.
How much time do you have to get to a place of safety to escape the wrath of the tsunami once the first wave come ashore?
A few minutes. Not long. Most of it depends on how strong the quake was that caused the tsunami and how far out it is from land.
How do you keep safe if a tsunami happens?
You have to get to higher ground where the water wont reach you. or get far enough out to sea to avoid the build up of the wave as it comes to shore.

Can a tsunami get higher than a mountain?
arccording to far back the water has drawn and how low your land is it may reach

What do you do before a Tsunami?
As waves approach the shore the wavelength and speed decreases. As they decrease, the wave grows larger. The wave then crashes onto shore because it becomes too steep for the bottom of the wave to carry.
What to do when a tsunami is heading towards the beach?
The safest thing to do when a large wave or tsunami is heading towards a beach is to run as far away as you can.Do not attempt to swim in the tsunami. If you cannot run, grab onto something solid like a lamp post or a large tree.If you think that there may be a tsunami brewing, do NOT GO TO THE BEACH, ever.
Where do cruise boats go during a tsunami?
Out to sea. If they can get far enough out the wave is only a few feet high. This is because the ocean is deep. It is only when the wave comes close to shore when it is slowed down by the continental shelf and the water is wedge upward into a huge wave.
How far can a tsunami go?
35m
How far inland can a tsunami travel?
The tsunami can flood as fast as a commercial jet plane.
