1 Construction ease â when using a carport kit, modern-day computer based technologies help ensure precision measurements and cutting for quick and easy assembly with minimal skill requirements.  Construction cost â as noted before, a carport can be built for a fraction of the cost of building a garage.
A tsunami (plural: tsunamis or tsunami; from Japanese: æ´¥æ³¢, lit. harbor wave; English pronunciation: /tsuËËnÉËmi/) , also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.he term tsunami, meaning harbor wave in literal translation, comes from the Japanese æ´¥æ³¢, composed of the two kanji æ´¥ (tsu) meaning  harbor  and æ³¢ (nami), meaning  wave .

A tsunami is a very long-wavelength wave of water that is generated by sudden displacement of the seafloor or disruption of any body of standing water. Tsunami are sometimes called seismic sea waves, although they can be generated by mechanisms other than earthquakes. 4.5 hours later the same tsunami reached the Hawaiian Islands after traveling at an average speed of 659 km/hr. 2  As it approached the city of Hilo on the Big Island, it slowed to about 47 km/hr (note that even the fastest human cannot run faster than about 35 km/hr) and had a run-up of 18 m above normal high tide.
