Tsunami Animation - Propagation

As the tsunami moves across the open ocean it is almost undetectable on the ocean surface.


In this example, the tsunami waves are only about half a metre high but have a wavelength of 200 kilometres. Travelling at speeds of up to eight or nine hundred kilometres an hour (the speed of a commercial passenger jet), it will take each wave about 15 minutes to pass a slow moving ship.
