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

What is the speed of a tsunami with a wavelength of 225 kilometers and a period of 15 minutes?
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.

Why did most people not get a warning about the Tsunami?
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.
