Tsunami Speed Calculator
Calculates the speed of Tsunami waves triggered by underwater earthquake and etc. | ||
| Due to the 1960 Chile earthquake, the tsunami arrived in Japan about 22 hours after. The average speed of the tsunami was about 750km across the Pacific Ocean. |

- Purpose of use
- Relating data buoy in event mode to surrounding seismic activity to determine orgin of event. Was able to rule out all but one and confirmed with these calculations. Speed estimates and time to target were reasonably accurate and sufficient for the task and ruled out other more alarming man-made potentials in the area.

- Purpose of use
- I am a child and I found out about the Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose StatusSystem and researched that they have 15 in the Arctic ocean which since one could possibly create a 300 ft tsunami the 15 would make a 4.5 km high tsunami which i was wondering how far a 4,500 feet high tsunami can go to see who Russia will use them on or to see if they move them and detonate it and it covers a whole land
