How fast do Tsunamis travel in the Pacific Ocean?
When tsunamis form in the open ocean they can reach speeds of 500 miles per hour, but they are very small: usually less than three feet high. When they hit shallow water as they approach a shoreline, they slow down, sometimes to less than 50 miles per hour, but build dramatically in weight because of how heavy the water is.2nd Answereer says: In the deep open sea, tsunamis move at speeds approaching a jet aircraft (500 mph or more). As they approach the shore, they slow down. When a tsunami arrives at the shore, it usually does so as a rapidly rising tide moving at about 70 km/hour (45 mph).
What is ecological succesion?
Ecological succession is a fundamental phenomenon of ecology. It refers to progressive succession from unstable community to stable community. Initiation of succession is by a) formation of new inhabited area - volcanic eruption; wash out by tsunami etc. b) natural and man made calamities - fire Succession is of two types: Primary - from newly formed soil & secondary - from already existing soil. Ecological succession refers to the orderly and gradual process in a given ecosystem.
What are the positives and negatives of having a nuclear power plant in your town?
The advantages of nuclear power:High energy density. Much more energy results from a small piece of fuel.Environment. No carbon dioxide emissions causing global warming (unlike fossil fuels). All waste (under under the vast majority of circumstances) is contained and removed from the environment.A long fuel cycle. Military cores last 30 years before needing to be refueled. Civilian cores require refueling every 18-24 months.The disadvantages of nuclear power:The problem of how to transport and store the dangerous radioactive waste safely.The risks of a dangerous accident or terrorist attack at the nuclear power plant.The safety risks in mining and transporting the radioactive fuel.The risks of theft of material, possibly for a nuclear bomb.Very expensive to build. It can take many years to create a nuclear plant.A Long AnswerAdvantages:Nuclear power produces fewer carbon emissions than most othertraditional energy sources. The production of energy does not come from burning molecules but from splitting atoms.Nuclear plants provide baseload power. Under normal operation the plant produces power at a constant rate. Each reactor core typically provides 800-1200MW of power. Many sites have more than one reactor.Nuclear power plants don't require a lot of space. As the reactor cores are very energy dense.Nuclear plants do not produce smoke particles to pollute the atmosphere.Nuclear energy is by far the most concentrated form of energy; a lot of energy is produced from a small mass of fuel.The fission products (aka nuclear waste) created during a normal fuel cycle make up
Is the speed of a water wave dependent on the wave source like a boat or a tsunami?
Yes the speed of a wave does depend on the source.
Can a tsunami and rain happen at the same time?
Yes. Tsunamis are completely independent of the weather. It can be sunny, raining, snowing, or anything else.
Could a tsunami happen in December?
Yes. Tsunamis are not dependent on the time of year. In fact, 1 of the worst tsunamis in history took place on December 26, 2004.
What is the term for an water wave created by an earthquake?
its called a tsunami
How can a tsunami occur?
As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and travels into the shallower water near the coast, it transforms. The tsunamis energy flux, which is dependent on both its wave speed and wave height, remains nearly constant. because of this shaoling effect, a tsunami, imperceptible at sea, may grow to be several meters or more in height near the coast. When it finally reaches the coast, a tsunami may appear as a rapidly rising or falling tide or a series of breaking waves.
Why is a tsunami called tsunami?
"Tsunami" means Japanese harbor wave. That's why they call it tsunami.
Can you show me a Slogan on Tsunami?
Always help each otherDo not Bother.
What is the technology that detect a tsunami?
Tsunamis are created through large scale disturbances via rockslides or earthquakes. The technology is limited to seismometers. AS the tsunami travels through the oceans, sensors detect change in water pressure, satellites can also be helpful at this stage. Once the tsunami reaches the shore, the height and strength is dependent upon the topography.
What is worst a tsunami or a flood?

How do you say tsunami in German?
