Tsunamis generate massive waves that can reach great heights and travel at high speeds, causing immense force upon impact with coastal structures. As the waves surge ashore, they can inundate buildings, eroding their foundations and overwhelming their structural integrity. The combination of the initial wave and the subsequent floodwaters can lead to destruction by crushing, displacing, or collapsing buildings entirely. Additionally, debris carried by the waves can further damage structures, exacerbating the destruction caused by the water itself.

What types of buildings have survived a tsunami?
Tsunamis can cause significant damage to buildings, but some structures that have been designed to withstand natural disasters like tsunamis, such as elevated buildings, breakwaters, and seawalls, have a higher chance of surviving. Additionally, buildings made with resilient materials and innovative engineering techniques may also better withstand the impact of tsunamis.

The buildings were temporary, with construction and materials that could not withstand Chicago winters. The one exception was the Fine Arts Building, which eventually was rebuilt as today's Museum of Science & Industry.
What waves knock down buildings?
Waves that can knock down buildings include seismic waves generated by earthquakes, particularly those from the P and S waves that travel through the Earth. Tsunami waves, caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, can also cause widespread destruction as they crash into coastal structures. Additionally, strong storm surge waves from hurricanes can lead to significant damage to buildings near shorelines. The impact and force of these waves are influenced by their height, speed, and the structural integrity of the buildings they hit.
Who gets hit by tsunamis?
well first of all, people are going to get hit by tsunamis but also buildings are likely to get detroyed too depending on how high and how strong was it. a tsunamis occur when the ocean gets desturbed( example:earthquake-anything that shakes the land ). tsunamis are no laughing matter.

Which is worse earthquakes or tsunamis?
Earthquakes are worse than tsunamis. Earthquakes are mostly unpredictable but tsunamis are sometimes predictable which sets warning for people to escape shore. Earthquakes destroy buildings but tsunamis don't. When tsunamis hit land, the buildings acts like a strong shield that cuts through the tsunami like what the wind-breaker does to the wind. Earthquakes can do more damage than tsunamis because earthquakes destroy buildings which takes much short time than rebuilding it which tsunamis only cause flash flooding which can be recovered as soon as possible. It's very difficult to escape an earthquake but it's sometimes easy to escape a tsunami. It's very difficult to recover the earthquake damage, therefore earthquakes are considered as the modest natural disaster.
