"iew Policies Current Attempt in Progress Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticab but upon reaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of a six-story building.

2. Describe a phenomenon that repeats indefinitely. What is its period?
1) If you want to know the speed of a long-wavelength wave (e.g. tsunami or tide), you can use the shallow-water wave velocity equation v=gd where g is acceleration due to gravity (~10 m/s2), d is water depth (in meters), and v = speed (in meters per second). a) Calculate the speed of a tsunami (in meters per second), assuming an average ocean depth of 4000m. b) Convert the speed of a tsunami from meters per second to meters per hour (note that 1 hr = 3600 seconds). c) Convert the speed of a tsunami from meters per hour to miles per hour (note that 1 mile = 1600m).
