Hi,
{{{s =3.13sqrt(d)}}} 
1. Solve this equation for d = {{{(s/3.13)^2}}}
2. By looking at the equation {{{s =3.13sqrt(d)}}} , would you expect tsunamis to travel faster or slower 
as they get closer to the shore (in shallower water)? slower

 3. Find the speed of a tsunami in a depth of 500 m {{{s =3.13sqrt(500)= 70mps}}}

 4. Find the speed of a tsunami in a depth of 100 m {{{s =3.13sqrt(100)= 31.3mps}}}
5. Do the answers to problems 3 and 4 confirm your expectation from problem 2? Yes
 Do Tsunami’s travel faster or <u>slower</u> in shallow water?
