How large is the fishure in the bottom of the ocean where the earthquake in Japan hit?
The Japan Trench is about 8,046 meters (26,398 feet) deep at its deepest point, which is one of the deepest parts of the Earth's oceans. The earthquake in Japan in 2011 occurred along the seafloor of the Japan Trench, resulting in a devastating tsunami.
How tall and how far apart are tsunami waves in 2011?
Tsunami waves in the 2011 Tohoku event in Japan reached heights of up to 40 meters (131 feet) and traveled across the ocean at speeds exceeding 800 kilometers per hour (500 miles per hour). The distance between individual waves can vary, but typically they are several kilometers apart in deep ocean waters.
How high are tsunami waves in deep water?
In deep water, tsunami waves typically have a wave height of less than a meter and are often barely noticeable. However, they can travel at speeds of up to 500-800 km/h (310-500 mph). As the waves approach shallower coastal waters, they can increase significantly in height, sometimes reaching dozens of meters.
How dangerous are tsunami in the open ocean and why?
Tsunamis in the open ocean are not dangerous at all; they aren't even noticeable. In deep ocean water a tsunamis is only a few feet to a few inches high and dozens of miles long. It is only when a tsunami reaches shallow water that it gains height.
What instrument is used to detect tsunami?
A tsunami detection buoy is one of the primary instruments used to detect tsunamis. These buoys are equipped with sensors that can detect changes in water pressure caused by a tsunami wave passing overhead. The data collected by these buoys is then transmitted to monitoring stations to provide early warnings.
Why can it be difficult to recognize a tsunami in deep water?

What does it mean if you dream of tragedy like tsunami?
Because this question is posted in March, 2011, it undoubtedly relates to the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It reflects the dreamers horror at that terrible event, and perhaps deep sympathy and longing to help the victims. But it is not prophetic of any future catastrophes.
Why did the Mar 11th 2011 earthquake in Japan trigger tsunami warnings in Hawaii US?
Because a Tsunami can travel great distances very rapidly. Out in deep sea they don't look like much just a big swell but as they near the coast they pick up speed and height.
Was there a tsunami threat in early July 2011?
On July 7, 2011, a large earthquake in the Kermadec Islands region had New Zealand on tsunami alert. It was canceled, however, after scientists looked at deep ocean wave data.
When was Deep End - Tsunami album - created?
Deep End - Tsunami album - was created in 1992-07.
Does a whale like tsunami?
Most likely not. A whale in deep, open ocean water would probably not even notice a passing tsunami. In shallow water it would be a very stressful event.

What prove is there that a cruise ship can survive a tsunami?
When getting word of a tsunami, a cruise ship will head out to the deepest part of the ocean she can reach. In deep water, a tsunami may only be a couple of feet or even inches high. It is not until the tsunami reaches shallow water that the wave reaches any appreciable height. In fact, a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean may be the safest place to be during a tsunami.
How tall and how far apart are tsunami waves in 2011?
Tsunami waves in the 2011 Tohoku event in Japan reached heights of up to 40 meters (131 feet) and traveled across the ocean at speeds exceeding 800 kilometers per hour (500 miles per hour). The distance between individual waves can vary, but typically they are several kilometers apart in deep ocean waters.
How does tsunami affect the deep ocean?
A tsunami is a coastal impact event. In the deep ocean it would hardly be noticeable - a small increase in general wave swell.
Was the earthquake that hit Japan Fri Mar 11th 2011 a deep or shallow one?
It hit in the shallow waters about 80 miles from the coast of Japan.
What happens when a deep-water wave strikes the bottom of the ocean?
