Tsunamis are much different than rogue waves. While rogue waves are and other waves are generated by winds tsunamis originate from geological events such as movement of tectonic plates. Tsunamis tend to travel very fast. A tsunami generated off the coast of Chile in 1990 is estimated to have traveled approximately 6200 miles to Hawaii in 15 hours. Determine the speed in mi/hr and m/s. (Given: 1.0 m/s = 2.24 mi/hr)
Can you help me set up the problem and the numbers in the right place?
