A tsunami is a destructive, fast-moving ocean wave that is caused by an undersea earthquake, landslide, or volcano. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is responsible for monitoring earthquakes that could potentially cause tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean. Through measuring the water level and calculating the speed of a tsunami, scientists can predict the arrival times of tsunamis.
The speed, s (in meters per second) at which a tsunami moves is determined by the depth, d (in meters) of the ocean. s=\sqrt{gd}s = g d, where g is approximately 10 meters per second squared.
Find the speed of a tsunami in a region of the ocean that is 998 meters deep.
