Why is earthquake risk greater on filled land with soft ground than so solid bedrock?

Soft sediment tends to make shaking in an earthquake worse. It is rather like shaking a bowl of jello.


Would THE gas tank cause my car to shake?

posssibly but it wouldnt unless somethings wrongAnother AnswerNot likely. More probably it's one or more of your wheels need balancing. If someone tagged a curb with some force, this can cause one of your wheels to be bent and out of balance. Any rotating part on your car can cause shaking if it is damaged or unbalanced. The more mass the item has or the more out of balance it is, the more pronounced the shaking will be. Also the speed of the shaking will coincide with the speed of the item out of balance. If more than one item is out of balance and they rotate at different speeds, the shaking will vary from none to maximum then back through none as they create harmonics in your car.


Why could a magnitude of 5 create more damage to a building than a magnitude of 6?

There are a number of reasons this could happen. Buildings that are poorly constructed are more likely to be seriously damaged. Damage severity also decreases as you get farther from the epicenter. So, for example at some distance from the epicenter of a magnitude 6 earthquake, you might experience shaking comparable to that of a magnitude 4. Finally, buildings build on soft sediment will experience more intense shaking than those built on bedrock.


Is bedrock harder than diamond?

No. From its Wikipedia entry about bedrock: "In stratigraphy, bedrock is consolidated rock underlying the surface of a terrestrial planet, usually the Earth." Diamond rates as 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness -- the highest rating. It is harder than any other mineral, which would compose bedrock.


What is stronger bedrock or soil?

Bedrock has far greater structural strength than soil.


Will bad tire rods cause shaking while driving?

Worn tie rod ends will cause loose steering, and therefore drifting from side to side, and can also cause shaking. There are many other causes of shaking or vibration, but none of them are good. Get the problem repaired before you end up in the ditch, or worse.I also noticed you used the term "tire" rods rather than "tie" rods, and might be referring to tire cords or belts. Broken cords or belts in a tire will cause the entire wheel to be out of balance and will therefore cause shaking. A tire with broken cords or belts is extremely unsafe and should be replaced immediately.

Steering wheel shakes when driving?

More than likely your tires are out of balance. Have your tires rotated and balanced. Make sure they check for a bent wheel.


What is the bedrock type and age in areas of high elevation?

It varies. High elevation generally does not affect what the bedrock other than by eroding away the softer rock types such as shale.
