Some people have proposed a new way to build houses in areas that are likely to experience tsunamis. In this design, a

house wouldn't have solid walls on all four sides. Instead, some of the wall areas would be replaced by substances that
water can travel through quickly, as shown in the diagram. How would this design help a house survive a tsunami? What
drawbacks might there be to this design?

Answer:

This could actually help. By doing this if the house is strong enough the water would go straight through the house just destroying furniture and anything else inside your house. This could also still hurt you the water could miss and still destroy your house so having this would have been a waste of money.
