Tsunamis as large as Sunday's happen only a few times a century. A tsunami is a series of traveling ocean waves generated by geological disturbances near the ocean floor. With nothing to stop them, the waves can race across the ocean like the crack of a bullwhip, gaining momentum over thousands of miles.
Umm, no. The waves would lose momentum over thousands of miles. Otherwise we would have had serious problems on the US west coast.
The waves will spread out over the distance.
You only gain momentum if there is a force consistently applied, right?
