Tsunami Travel Time Calculator

The tsunami travel times displayed are in hours and were calculated using ttt software. The assignment builds off of a lab introducing students to spatial analyst, and challenges them to think carefully about raster preparation and the extraction of data from a raster using shapefile features. A new model to calculate tsunami travel times in the andaman sea region has been developed.

The estimated tsunami travel times to coastal locations map viewer has recently moved. Use the wave speed formula to approximate the tsunami’s speed. Students will use the wave speed formula below to calculate the speed at which the tsunami is traveling.

You will calculate the speed of the tsunami wave and estimate the amount of time that it will take for the tsunami to arrive at a number of locations.

More information about tsunami travel time maps. Please insert your answers into the tables. Calculating time to affected locations once you know the distance, multiply by the speed of the tsunami to find out how long you have before the tsunami strikes.
