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.

How can you protect yourself and others during an earthquakes?
mostly go to high elevation or buildings
Does Japan have any solutions to their earthquakes?
The construct buildings knowing that earthquakes can strike.Many buildings are made to wobble when earthquakes strike. This gives a better chance for the building to absorb the earthquake and remain standing.
Are japans buildings earthquake proof?
Engineers in Japan design the buildings with the understanding of the frequency and intensity of earthquakes. They build the buildings to move with the motion of earthquakes so they will not crumble.
What is the kind of damage that earthquakes inflict on buildings like houses or shopping malls?
The buildings collapse.
Why do earthquakes bother people?
Because they knock buildings down. People are bothered when buildings fall onto them.
How are engineers using hydraulic ''tendons in buildings?
C. To protect them during earthquakes

Describe two ways that buildings are reinforced against earthquakes?
by using active tendon systems and mass dampers.
Do earthquakes effect buildings?
Yes, earthquakes do affect buildings in all areas. They cause them to fall and cause various causalities.
What does an tornado do that a earthquake does?
Both tornadoes and earthquakes can damage or destroy buildings and infrastructure and can kill and injure people. However they cause damage in different ways.

What are the affect of earthquakes?
It can destroyed buildings.
What effect can earthquakes have on buildings?
make them fall
Does constructing buildings or dams cause earthquakes?
No. The influence of buildings and damns in this aspect is quite small. Earthquakes are the result of rock moving along faults.
Why did the buildings fall in Haiti?
Because the earthquakes in Haiti caused the buildings to fall down.
Are japans buildings earthquake proof?
Engineers in Japan design the buildings with the understanding of the frequency and intensity of earthquakes. They build the buildings to move with the motion of earthquakes so they will not crumble.
What projects are civil engineers doing to keep us safe from earthquakes?
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.
