no
Do earthquakes can damage buildings roads dams and many other structures?
Depending up on the intensity of an earthquake buildings, roads, dams and many other structures get damaged. Keeping in view the safety of buildings and dams from earthquakes special designs are being developed.
Which field of engineering focuses on constructing of structures such as dams roads and buildings?
civil engineering
What damages would earthquakes cause?
dams, roads, bridges, telephone lines
Do dams trigger earthquakes?
Dams trigger tiny earthquakes as the ground under the reservoir adapts to the great weight of water added to it. There is no indication that these are causes of large earthquakes. Massive dams like Hoover Dam or Grand Coulee would have triggered huge earthquakes if this was the case. The largest killer earthquakes generally occur in places with no large dams.
What destruction do earthquakes cause?
Earthquakes can cause a wide range of destruction, including structural damage to buildings, infrastructure, and roads; landslides; tsunamis in coastal areas; and loss of life and injuries to people. The severity of destruction depends on the magnitude of the earthquake and the proximity of populated areas to the epicenter.
How would Bangladesh be affected by the constructions of dams?
Constructing dams have both merits and demerits. If merits are more, then the consruction should take place
What do dams cause?
dams cause many fishs' life cycle
What are object that is a mass structure?
Some examples of objects that are mass structures include buildings, bridges, dams, and towers. These structures are designed to support their own weight and resist external forces such as wind and earthquakes.
What were the main effects of the earthquake on people and the environment in the Indonesian tsunami?
Earthquakes produce various damaging effects to the areas they act upon. This includes damage to buildings and in worst cases the loss of human life. The effects of the rumbling produced by earthquakes usually lead to the destruction of structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. They can also trigger landslides. Besides producing floods and destroying buildings, earthquakes that take place under the ocean can sometimes cause tsunamis, or tidal waves. Tsunamis are high and long walls of water which travel at a very rapid rate. They are notorious for destroying entire populations and cities near coastlines.
What can a earthquake do?
Damages brought by earthquakes: 1) People are injured or killed by collasping buildings 2) Buildings and bridges are destroyed, roades are sliped ope nand dams are destroyed thus causes floodings 3)Electricity, water and gas supplies are cut off 4)At home, cooker and heater ae fall over and causes fire, properties are destroyed 5)Gas piper break and electricty wires are torn down and causes fire 6) Landslides block roads 7) If earthquakes happen on ocean floors, it would cause tsunamis and great sea waves rush in and drown people and buildings on coastal flat land
Why are bases of buildings and dams made wide?
Bases of buildings and dams are spread over a large area. Hence, the pressure exerted by the building on the earth's surface is less. thus reducing the risk of sinking.
