A relaxation in the tropical sandpile model is a process of deforming a
tropical hypersurface towards a finite collection of points. We show that, in
the one-dimensional case, a relaxation terminates after a finite number of
steps. We present experimental evidence suggesting that the number of such
steps obeys a power law.
