3. What is the celerity of a tsunami propagating through \( 50 \mathrm{~m} \) of water ( 2 points)?

Answer 1

Wave Speed Formula

Speed of the tsunami (meters/second) is equal to the square root of g (the acceleration due to gravity, which a constant 9.81 meters/second) times the water depth (d) at which the disturbance occurred (meters).
