Seismologist have just registered a large underwater earthquake near sand point, alaska, that is big enough to produce a tsunami. the ocean depth is unknown but it took five hours to reach monterey california. estimate the depth of the ocean where the tsunami originated.

4002.79 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Sand Point, Alaska and Monterey California is 3,567 km. The distance velocity equation is given by

d=vt

3567=v*5

v=3567/5=713.4 km/hr=198.16667 m/s

Wave Speed Formula is given by

where g is the gravity acceleration 9.8 m/s and d is depth, solving for depth we have that

4 + 5 7/9= 9 7/9

step-by-step explanation:

1. d.90

2. e. none of these (80)

3. a. 0

4. b. 6

5. e. none of these (10)

6. a. 5
