How long does it take tsunami waves to hit Hawaii from Alaska?
I think there are several factors in determining it, like, where the epi center of the earthquake originated, and how deep the earthquake was, also I think there are some kind of bouys in the ocean that can measure stuff.
The water displaced by a strong earthquake on the ocean floor forms large waves called?
tsunamis. These waves travel across the ocean at high speeds and can cause devastating impacts when they hit coastlines.
Can Tsunami's travel up to 500 miles per hour?
No, tsunami waves generally travel at speeds ranging from 400 to 500 miles per hour in deep ocean waters, but their speed decreases significantly as they approach shallow coastal regions. In shallow water, tsunami waves typically slow down to speeds of about 20 to 30 miles per hour.
Is a tsunami a single wave?
No, a tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by a large and sudden displacement of water, such as an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption. These waves can travel across oceans and may consist of multiple crests and troughs.
What is the speed of ultrasonic waves in vacuum is equal to what is the speed of audible sound in air?
No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
How long can tsunami waves travel?
Some tsunami waves have travelled most of the way around the world, and have destroyed coastline thousands of kilometres from their origin.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.

What is the term for a water wave that is caused by underwater earthquake?
Body waves Body waves and surface waves are the two types of seismic waves formed during great earthquakes. P waves and S waves are called body waves because they travel through the body of the Earth. Surface waves Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only on the surface of the Earth and cause the most destruction.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and can be characterized by their wavelength and frequency.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
What are the Four other types of transverse wave that travel at 300000000 ms?
Light waves - electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum at the speed of light. Radio waves - electromagnetic waves used for communication that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. X-rays - a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel at the speed of light. Microwaves - electromagnetic waves commonly used in technology and cooking that can travel at the speed of light.
