A tsunami with an amplitude of 1 m would probably not be noticed passing a ship at sea because of its low amplitude and very long wavelength.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tsunamis with an amplitude of only 1 meter can have a wavelength of up to 50-100 kilometers, which means that their speed could be barely noticeable and their height could be almost imperceptible. Therefore, it is unlikely that such a tsunami would be noticed by a ship at sea due to its low amplitude and long wavelength.
