2000 KPH on open water and when it reaches Sumatra it slowed to 1200 KPH
The same speed that monkey's take a dump and throw it at kids visiting a zoo
1000kms/hour
The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.
The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.
Yes, a tsunami is a giant wave.
The top speed of a tsunami is 900 kilometers per hour (600 mi/hr) and the top speed of a cheetah is 120 kilometers per hour (75 mi/hr). Therefore, the average speed of a tsunami is faster than the top speed of a cheetah.
The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake, which was a magnitude 9.0 quake that triggered the tsunami. A tsunami can be measured in wave height and wave speed and it was reported that the height of a tsunami wave that struck a coastal city in Japan's on March 11 at just over 77 feet high. In most places the waves were up to 4 stories high at 10 meters (33 feet). The wave speed was estimated to be 500mph or 800 kilometers per hour.
Yes the speed of a wave does depend on the source.
800 kmh
50,000 people per hour.

Huge.
Yes, a tsunami is a giant wave.
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
A tsunami wave can be detected by a wave gauge and pressure monitors.
