In some parts of the world, houses are built on stilts, like the house shown here. How could elevating a house with
stilts give it an advantage in a tsunami? Do you think a building elevated with stilts could still be destroyed by a
tsunami?

Step-by-step explanation:

Building a house on stilts protects the house from flooding during natural disasters such as tsunamis, as the higher elevation makes it harder for water to enter the house than if it was on the ground. Theoretically, a tsunami could still destroy an elevated house, but the above advantage makes it harder for a house to be destroyed
