How far inland can a tsunami travel?
The tsunami can flood as fast as a commercial jet plane.
What is an estuary tidal wave called?
seiche - a french word meaning to sway back and forth This happened back in 1954, about two years after I was born, while my uncle and his family lived in Chicago (although they were far, far from the lake and well out of harm's way). http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Day-a-Tidal-Wave-Hit-Chicago&id=172583 shows an article written by someone who was there when it occurred.
What is the farthest inland a powerful tsunami can go?
Mega-tsunamis - tsunamis that are extraordinarily huge - are said to be able to travel as far as 25 kilometers inland.More tsunami tidbits from our users:Landforms slow them down considerably. The distance traveled inland is directly related to the change in elevation.
How far can a tsunami go uphill?
A tsunami can travel uphill depending on the slope, height, and force of the incoming wave. In some cases, tsunamis have been recorded to reach elevations of several hundred feet as they move inland.
How far would a 5000 foot high wave go inland?
Depends on the rise. If it was similar to the Japan Tsunami 3/11/11 it would go around 1000 miles inland. If it was just a tall thin wave it would go half the size of height. Then again its possible it could go all around the world but it all depends on the elevation....
If a tidal wave was 2 miles high and hit the south east coast of Australia how far inland would it travel?
Indonesia :)
How far would a mile high tidal wave go inland on the east coast?
It would depending on the height of the terrain and sea level. However, if it was a flat piece of land, it would easily crest a couple hundred miles inland.
How do tsunamis cause more damage then tidal waves?
A tidal wave is what tsunamis used to be called. The Japanese name has been adopted more recently because of the mistaken impression on the part of the public that a tidal wave was an extremely high tide (see also Neap Tide). A tsunami, unlike a regular wave, does not come in and go back out. The waves have no chance to go out and consequently pile up on top of each other driving far inland.
If a tidal wave hit the eastern US and the wave is 1000 ft how far will the wave travel inland?
Land forms slow them down considerably. The distance travelled inland is directly related to the change in elevation. It would be interesting to see how far inland this March 11th, 2011 tsunmai travelled past Antioch, California up the delta area.

How far would 2km high wave go inland?
I read the one in Indonesia got up to 30 meters high and went as far as 3km inland. this means for every 10 meters in height the wave can travel 1km inland.Using the above formula, a 2km high wave (2000 meters), could travel 200km inland (2000/10=200).This may be incorrect tho as the waves energy may grow exponentially with height. If this is true it could travel a LOT further inland.Obviously terrain height and natural geographical resistances such as, hills, valleys, forests etc. will use up more of the waves energy and shorten the distance it can travel.In Conclusion:If you were 300km inland and there was a mountain range in between you and the ocean you should be 99.99% safe :)Keep in mind you also need to make sure your not near a fault line or extinct volcano if 2012 becomes real.
How far does secondary wave travel in 10 minutes?
2000 km
