They all do have laws for making a building earthquake proof.

How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
Are the locations of volcanoes related to earthquake faults?
yes
Should laws say that building built near faults must be earthquake proof?
Because it is safer
Along what type of fault was the 1964 Alaska earthquake?
The Alaska earthquake of 1964 occurred along a subduction zone, which consists largely of reverse faults.
What would you expect to find in a subduction zone?
I believe we are in the same class. If you get then answer help me out!
Should laws say that the buildings built near faults must be earthquake poof?
Yes and they all ready do have laws that do this. In Calfornia we build to the strictest standards.

How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What does faults mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
Why not all movement along faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
Explain how satellites can be used to collect data on earthquake faults?
Geologists use satellites equipped with radar to make images of faults. The satellite bounces radio waves off the ground. As the waves echo back into space, the satellite records them.
What are the huge rips in the ground called after an earthquake?
Faults
Are the locations of volcanoes related to earthquake faults?
yes
What two factors do geologists consider when determining earthquake risk for a region?
By locating where faults are active and where past earthquake have occurred.
Why do geologists collect data on friction along the sides of faults?
Geologists collect data on friction along the side of faults so that they can predict how much pressure is applied on the faults so they can predict how strong the earthquake is.
How does the earthquake data confirm that the fracture zones are Transform faults as opposed to transcurrent faults?
I'm in your NATS class.
What is something produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere?
Earthquake
