Since a tsunami has a very
large wave length, it will lose little energy as it propagates.
Hence in very deep water, a tsunami will travel at high speeds and travel great transoceanic distances with limited energy loss. The wave crests of a tsunami may be a hundred kilometers or more apart as they travel across the ocean. |
