What else can I help you with?
Something that acts as a shock absorber for a building during an earthquake is called a(n)?
Something that acts as a shock absorber for a building during an earthquake is called a base isolator. Base isolators are designed to decouple the building from ground motion, allowing it to move more freely and reducing the forces transmitted to the structure. This technology helps protect the building and its occupants from the damaging effects of seismic activity.
Seismograph that does NOT move during an earthquake is?
pen
Where is a good spot to hide during an earthquake?
If indoors, move quickly to a door frame - it is among the stronger structures in a building, and thus more resistant to collapse.
Why does a person tries to move to an apen ground during an earthquake?
its so your not to close to the earthquake other wise you get more shakes and jiggles
During an earthquake seismic waves move outward from the focus in all directions.?
Yes.
How do particles move in the ground when earthquake occurs?
how do particles move in the ground when an earthquake occurs
Which part of the seismograph moves as the ground shakes during an earthquake?
The part of the seismograph that moves during an earthquake is called the pen.
What is a base isolated building?
A base isolated building is a structure that is designed to have a flexible foundation system to help it withstand the lateral forces generated during an earthquake. This system decouples the building from the ground motion, allowing it to move independently and reduce the impact of the seismic forces on the structure. Base isolation is a common engineering technique used to protect buildings and structures in earthquake-prone areas.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The most violent shaking during an earthquake typically occurs closest to the earthquake's epicenter, where the seismic waves are strongest. As you move further away from the epicenter, the shaking intensity decreases.
Where does the most violent shaking occur at during an earthquake?
At the epicentre which, is the central point from which it originates.
How many feet did japan move during the 8.9 earthquake in 2011?
it moved a whole 8 feet
The part of a seismograph that does NOT move during an earthquake?
The seismograph's mass, typically a heavy weight or pendulum, remains stationary during an earthquake. Its inertia allows it to stay in place while the ground moves. This mass is connected to a recording device that captures the motion caused by seismic waves during an earthquake.
