It all depends on the earthquake intensity
if earthquake is measured more than 10 or 12 on the richter scale then many cities and countries may dip into the ocean.
if it is 8-9.5 or so then it will damage much life and property but cities and countries will not dip into the ocean
"The tsunami waves reached run-up heights (how far the wave surges inland above sea level) of up to 128 feet (39 meters) at Miyako city and traveled inland as far as 6 miles (10 km) in Sendai." (quoted from LiveScience website)
2 km
200 km/h
The speed of a tsunami can be calculated using the formula: speed = wavelength / period. In this case, the speed would be 225 km / 15 min = 15 km/min.
651,036 sq km (251,366 sq mi), of which 59,366 sq km (22,921 sq mi) are inland water.
well an earthquake with a magnitude of 1 can cause a tsunami of about 6ft lol heres a chartTsunami magnitude mTsunami heightHDamage-150 cmNone01 mVery small damage12Coastal and ship damage24 ~ 6Damage and lives lost in certain landward areas310 ~ 20Considerable damage along more than 400 km of coastline430Considerable damage along more than 500 km of coastlinenote that magnitude is above the height of the tsunami
An inland lake refers to a naturally occurring body of standing water with a varied biodiversity. The largest inland lake in the world is Lake Ladoga in Russia, which has an area of 17,700 sq. km.
Katrina's powerful right-front quadrant passed over the west and central Mississippi coast, causing a powerful 27-foot (8.2 m) storm surge, which penetrated 6 miles (10 km) inland in many areas and up to 12 miles (20 km) inland along bays and rivers; in some areas,
The 2011 Tsunami in JapanMost scientists reported that the 33ft (10m) Tsunami wave, triggered by a massive earthquake on March 11 measuring magnitude 9.0 on the Richter scale, made it 6 miles (10 kilometers) inland with washed up debris and water reaching distances of 10 miles or more inland. This city of Sendai was 80 miles (128 km) from epicenter of Earthquake.
10,689 square kilometers (including 2,077 square kilometers of inland water area).
Because scientist don't have a scale that measures tsunami very wellanswer 2. Many times the earthquake (or submarine subsidence) that caused the tsunami are quite close, and there is insufficient warning time.If you are close to a shore and you feel a significant earthquake, expect a tsunami!! If the sea retreats, DO NOT go to gather the fish!!.Tsunami travel at several hundred km/hour! But may be only a few cm high.Approaching a shore, the wave increases in height, and decreases in speed.But is still much faster than you can run.
East Coast of Queensland. Rockhampton is located about 600 km north of Brisbane, capital of Queensland. Rockhampton lies about 40 km inland from the central Queensland coast, and is on the Tropic of Capricorn.
