The 2004 Indian ocean tsunami reached maximum wave speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour (about 500 miles per hour) in deep water. As the waves approached the shore, their speed decreased, but they still maintained significant energy and height, resulting in devastating impacts on coastal regions. The tsunami was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake, which was one of the largest ever recorded.
