It can exceed 500 mph and cross the entire pacific ocean in less than 24 hours.

I think Artillery is correct. I just saw it on TV. As it slows down coming toward land it actually collects more water on the back side and it achieves more volume over shallow water than over deep water.
Many are caused by earthquakes which create the initial energy which the tsunami carries all the way to land.
