The speed of a tsunami is given by
v = sqrt(g * d) where g=gravity accel, d = depth
Therefore if you know the speed, d = v^2/g
For a speed of 400 mi/hr the depth is 10,700 ft.

What does depth have anything to do with speed...?All you know is the speed..I don't think you can figure that out...

it is how deep the tsumani is, whatever a "tsumani" may be.
