    Tsunami wave speed is controlled by water depth. Where the ocean is over 6,000 meters or 3.7 miles deep, unnoticed tsunami waves can travel at the speed of a commercial jet plane, over 800 km per hour or 500 miles per hour. Tsunamis travel much slower in shallower coastal waters where their wave heights begin to increase dramatically.
