The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake, which was a magnitude 9.0 quake that triggered the tsunami.
A tsunami can be measured in wave height and wave speed and it was reported that the height of a tsunami wave that struck a coastal city in Japan's on March 11 at just over 77 feet high. In most places the waves were up to 4 stories high at 10 meters (33 feet).
The wave speed was estimated to be 500mph or 800 kilometers per hour.
