Tsunami speed
I have read and heard that tsunamis are capble of moving across the ocean at up to 700 mph. Additionally, that the speeds correlate with the square root of the depth at which the earthquake occurred. This seems counterintuitive to me.
Can anyone give me an explanation of why the relationships (of speed and depth) are as they are? Thanks for any insights. |
