Depends on the rise. If it was similar to the Japan Tsunami 3/11/11 it would go around 1000 miles inland. If it was just a tall thin wave it would go half the size of height. Then again its possible it could go all around the world but it all depends on the elevation....

How far inland would a thirty one mile high tsunami go?

31 miles is 163,680 feet. At that altitude, there is almost no air pressure, and it is intensely cold. Your tsunami would attempt to boil (due to low air pressure) while it was freezing (about -90 degrees F). The falling ice would probably go a few hundred miles inland. Interesting question, though. Why 31 miles high?


How many feet is 5 cu ft refrigerator?

How far would 2km high wave go inland?

I read the one in Indonesia got up to 30 meters high and went as far as 3km inland. this means for every 10 meters in height the wave can travel 1km inland.Using the above formula, a 2km high wave (2000 meters), could travel 200km inland (2000/10=200).This may be incorrect tho as the waves energy may grow exponentially with height. If this is true it could travel a LOT further inland.Obviously terrain height and natural geographical resistances such as, hills, valleys, forests etc. will use up more of the waves energy and shorten the distance it can travel.In Conclusion:If you were 300km inland and there was a mountain range in between you and the ocean you should be 99.99% safe :)Keep in mind you also need to make sure your not near a fault line or extinct volcano if 2012 becomes real.


How do people protect themselves against tsunamis?

A tsunami can be over 100ft tall, and can move over 100mph. It's so fast that it will hit you almost the second you see it. The only way to be safe is to live inland, and at a high elevation.
