fetch, or Gare but I'm pretty sure it's fetch =)
Mile
The ocean current that warms parts of western Europe is called the Gulf Stream. This current travels up the eastern coast of the United States and runs across the upper portion of the Atlantic.
Tsunamis can travel over 600 mph in the open ocean. It can only take a few hours for a tsunami to travel across an entire ocean. A regular wave travels at 90 km/hr. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/tsunami/
Miles or kilometers.
Going across the Pacific Ocean the distance is 11,342km. That is 7047.6 miles.

Ocean waves get their energy primarily from wind. As the wind blows across the surface of the water, it transfers some of its energy to the water, creating waves. The energy in ocean waves can also be influenced by factors such as the distance the wind travels over the water (fetch) and the strength of the wind.
Middle passage
The atmosphere interacts with the hydrosphere to produce waves at the beach. Wind over the ocean's surface creates friction, transferring energy to the water which forms waves. The size and speed of the waves depend on the strength of the wind and the distance it travels across the ocean.
