So, if a submarine is in deep ocean and someone inside hits the hull with a wrench, a sound "wave" will be generated that travels from that point at something more than 4800 fps. If that someone then sets off a stick of dynamite that tears apart the hull, a big sound will be generated that will travel at the same speed as the wrench rap. Is there something other than sound that moves away from that point that can travel hundreds of miles (and what form could that take)? If one of the nuclear warheads in that submarine detonates, lots of new things will happen, but surely one would be a really big sound, which moves at the same speed as the other events. Is there another "effect" that will travel, tsunami like, away from that point, and what might be the physics of that "effect?
Again, any good books on the subject?
