Submitted : Fall 2017

Using Bernoulli's theorem and the data from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, one can predict the power and initial speed of the tsunami that hit Aceh Indonesia. Because of the shapes that waves take on as they go through the ocean, one can use Bernoulli's principle and input the depth of the earthquake to solve for the two problems.
