(Use the coastal location in Sri Lanka closest to the earthquake epicenter. Using the speed you calculated above and the map in Figure 4, determine (in hours) how long it took the tsunami to reach Sri Lanka. Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka is a statutory board under the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation, which supports and develops Sri Lanka's air hub and aviation sector. In Sri Lanka, 35,322 people died as a result of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

If the average depth of the Indian Ocean is 3.87 kilometers deep, what is the average speed of tsunamis traveling across the Indian Ocean? Show your work! (6 points) 28.

Using the speed you calculated above and the map in Figure 4, determine (in hours) how long it took the tsunami to reach Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, 35,322 people died as a result of the Indian Ocean tsunami. The velocity of a tsunami is strongly dependent on the depth of the ocean, and can be calculated by the equation: V=V(g xd) where v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (0.0098 km/s2), and d is the water depth. But many of the deaths would have been avoided had there been a tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean region. Many of these people were close to the epicenter and didn't have very much time between the earthquake and the tsunami. (Hint: Use the key on Figure 5 to help you.)
