Earthquakes are more common in some parts of the world than others, because some places, like California, sit on top of the meeting point, or fault, of two plates. ... When those plates scrape against each other and cause an earthquake, the results can be deadly and devastating. And then Tsunamis occur most often in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia because the Pacific Rim bordering the Ocean has a large number of active submarine earthquake zones. However, tsunamis have also occurred recently in the Mediterranean Sea region and are expected in the Caribbean Sea as well.
Tsunamis are the largest waves in the world. The edges of the plates, where earthquakes and volcanoes often occur, usually lie near the edges of the oceans
At 12 mph, how long does it take to go 13.1 miles?
We know that distance = rate * time So we know that 13.1 = 12 * time We can now see that time = 13.1/12 = 1.092 (hours) That's approximately 1 hour and .092*60=5.52 minutes.
