Tsunamis can travel over 600 mph in the open ocean. It can only take a few hours for a tsunami to travel across an entire ocean. A regular wave travels at 90 km/hr. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/tsunami/

What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
What is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time is called what?
The distance that a wave travels in a certain amount of time is a wavelength. Wrong,it's speed.(:
What is the speed of a wave if it has a frequency of 4hz and a wave length of 8 meters?
The speed of the wave will be 32 metres /sec .
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
Can a surfer's speed be greater than a wave's speed?
yes.....as he moves up and down the wave facem his speed varies from less then to more trhen the speed of the wave
What is the average speed for a sound wave at sea level?
The speed of sound has nothing to do with the sea level. It has much to do with the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called?
The Speed At Which Wave Travels Is Known As Wave Velocity.It Is Denoted As 'v' which Equals The Product Of Its Frequency And Wavelength.
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
