Question

Can a bag of aquarium gravel representing a supermarine landslide, when released down an inclined slope into a tank of water, generate a wave that will simulate a tsunami?

Purpose

To determine if a bag of aquarium gravel of a certain weight (representing a supermarine landslide), when released down an inclined slope into a tank containing water can generate a wave simulating a tsunami.

Hypothesis

I think that when the bag of aquarium gravel is released down the inclined slope into the tank containing water, a wave will be generated. I also think that the wave will be clearer and will travel slower in shallower water.
