There are large weights at the top or on each floor of the building that move back and forth opposite to the movement of the ground during the earthquake. There are also base isolators which the supports of the building sit on, and when the ground moves it just moves the isolators underneath the building and the building stays in place. Also steel frames help a lot, and if not steel then wood.
To protect buildings in earthquakes, people can use techniques such as seismic retrofitting, which involves reinforcing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity. Additionally, using flexible building materials, proper foundation design, and following building codes designed for seismic zones can help minimize damage during an earthquake. Regular maintenance and inspections of buildings also play a crucial role in ensuring their safety during seismic events.
A common reinforcing material is steel. This is because of its strength, elasticity and it's relative cost and abundance.
Yes, earthquakes do affect buildings in all areas. They cause them to fall and cause various causalities.
There is no way to reduce an earthquake, however you can reduce the damage an earhquake causes by constructing buildings to withstand earthquakes.
Yes, buildings constructed near fault lines should be designed to withstand earthquakes. Implementing earthquake-resistant techniques and materials can help minimize damage and protect occupants during seismic events. Prioritizing safety measures in these areas is essential to reduce the impact of earthquakes on both people and structures.

C. To protect them during earthquakes
mostly go to high elevation or buildings
Because they knock buildings down. People are bothered when buildings fall onto them.
People who live in buildings.
they destroy buildings which in turns harm people
Building buildings with stronger structures, but also with flexibility, so that they will hold up in earthquakes. Because earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do.
they do nothing
Most commonly by man made structures such as buildings collapsing on people.
Earthquake resistant buildings are necessary to protect people's lives and reduce property damage during seismic events. These buildings are designed to withstand the forces and vibrations caused by earthquakes, preventing collapse and reducing the risk of injury or death. Investing in earthquake resistant buildings is crucial in regions prone to earthquakes to ensure the safety and well-being of occupants.
If you have ever felt an earthquake you will know they exist. Billions of people have felt earthquakes and many millions of people have been killed by earthquakes. Buildings collapse in many earthquakes. Earthquakes leave plenty of evidence and witnesses behind them that they happened.
By constructing buildings and structures that are earthquake resistant.
Some buildings have steel infrastructures and concrete outsides that protect them with immense strength. Others are able to flex with the tremors caused by earthquakes and relieve the energy being transferred to them.
