At approximately the speed of sound in the material that they're traveling through, which in the Earth's crust is typically 2-8 km/s.
Gravitational waves move at the speed of light in space, which is about 186,282 miles per second.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays, all travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second).
The speed of a wave depends on the medium it is moving through. In general, sound waves travel at around 340 m/s in air, electromagnetic waves (such as light) travel at 300,000 km/s in a vacuum, and ocean waves can travel as fast as 750 km/h in deep water during a storm.
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. As the wave travels, the particles in the medium oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.

Sound waves move very fast
S-waves are slower than P-waves, which are the fastest seismic waves. S-waves are shear waves that move in a back-and-forth motion, causing particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
P waves arrive a couple seconds to a few minutes before s waves.
The boat must be going faster then the waves it is creating
At the speed of light - about 300,000 km/sec (3 x 108 m/sec)
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
It depend how fast and how strong the waves are but people only have a few seconds to move away.

When waves break energy is released- sound or noise is an indicator of a change in energy. Also, because waves move so fast, when they fold and hit the water, the bonds between the molecules break apart to release energy.
