Tsunami Scenarios
________________
Name
Purpose: To chart the speed and arrival times of tsunamis.
Wave Speed Formula speed = � g X d
2
g = gravity = 9.8 m/s
d = depth
This formula will give you your answer in meters per second. You want kilometers per hour.
1 meter/second = 3.6 Kilometers/hour
So, if you are traveling 25 m/s , how many km/hr are you going? 25 m/s X 3.6 km/hr = 90 km/hr
Speed = � g X d
Speed = � 9.8
X 4,000m = 198 m/s

198 m/s X 3.6 km/hr = 712.8 km/hr
