A major warning sign of a tsunami approaching, as you also saw in the stopdisasters game, is the retreat of the water, prior to the water rising. Taking Sri Lanka as a reference point, use a ruler on figure 8.10 to determine how far in advance of the wave (scaling from cm to km using the scale bar on the bottom of figure 8.10) the water level would start to drop. The answer you fill in should be in kilometers. Add your answer Integer, decimal, or E notation allowed Question 4 0.15 Points Following the previous question: if the tsunami is traveling at 700 kilometers per hour (which is the speed of a tsunami in the open ocean), how much time is there between when the water starts retreating and the wave arrives? Give you answer in minutes.
