Which is faster - the average speed of tsunami sometime called a tidal wave or the top speed of a cheetah?

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.


What is the speed of a tsunami with a wavelength of 225 kilometers and a period of 15 minutes?

The speed of a tsunami can be calculated using the formula: speed = wavelength / period. In this case, the speed would be 225 km / 15 min = 15 km/min.


Does a tsunami speed up as it approaches land?

Yes, a tsunami can speed up as it approaches shallower waters near the coast due to the conservation of energy principle. This can cause the height of the wave to increase, making it more destructive when it reaches land.


How soon can a tsunami appear after a tsunami?

There are tsunamis and there are tsunami trains. A tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. A new tsunami has to wait for a new earthquake. It is not uncommon for any earthquake to be followed by one or more aftershocks within a matter of hours or days, so a new tsunami can result similarly. Since earthquake behavior is notoriously unpredictable, so is tsunami generation. A single tsunami results in a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours. This is called the tsunami "wave train". There is more information in the related links.


How does the speed of tsunami wave change as it approaches the shore?

The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.

How many mph do tsunami's travel over land?

There is no exact speed, it depends on the size of the quake that causes the tsunami.


How does the speed of a tsunami wave change as it approaches the shore?

As a tsunami wave approaches the shore, its speed decreases due to the wave energy being compressed into a smaller space. This leads to an increase in wave height and impact force when the tsunami hits the coastline.


How fast does wind go when there is a tsunami?

A tsunami is not a wind-related event, so the wind could be going any speed.

The real speed was 100,000 miles per hour

Safety precaution in tsunami?

When a Tsunami occurs dig big pits near the sea shore as the speed and the quantity of water will get reduced.


What speed was the tsunami wave going when it hit Japan?

800 kmh


What was the fastest wave speed of a tsunami?

50,000 people per hour.


How powerful was the tsunami be?

A tsunami can speed along at 30 or 40 miles an hour and hit you like a runaway car. Actually, like a fleet of them.


Was china affected by the tsunami?

No doubt it was. However, Japan sits between the epicenter and mainland China, so probably most or all of the tsunami's energy was absorbed by Japan. For additional information, please see the Related Link below.


What is the only mainland European country has no general speed limit?

Germany
