Scoboblio Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 By comparison, the boxing day 2004 tsunami was caused by a 9.3 magnatude earthquake and generated waves of up to 20 meters. Hopefully this won't be too bad since they'd had a bit of warning this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 they've just said they expect the wave to be going 600mph Eh? That can't be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Eh? That can't be right. Live from Wikipedia: Because a Tsunami behaves like a 'shallow water wave,' its speed is based on the depth of the water. Typically, a tsunami wave will travel across a deep ocean at an average speed of 400 to 500 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 A small tsunami has hit northern Japan, according to the country's meteorological agency (JMA). It said a 40cm (16 inches) wave hit Nemuro port in the Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido. I hope they had their wellies on or it could be a disaster!
