it all depends on the material that they build there building. In this case a brick building can resist if it has a good foundation of ground if not it could collapse. My best guess is less than 7.o or 6.6.

What does brick and morter mean?
in building and bricks
What was the basic Sumerians building materials?
The basic Sumerian building material was brick and wood.
Is brick safe while earthquake?
If the tremors are severe enough, the mortar holding the bricks could fail, so allowing the wall to collapse.
How many people died in the christchurch earthquake?
no one. But some people had cuts and bruises. Two people had serious injuries. One person got hit by a falling brick chimney. The other got seriously cut by a whole lot of sharp, falling glass that was flying in the earthquake.
What is the difference between amino acids and peptides?
amino acids contain an amine and a carboxylic acid
Can you design a city to better withstand an earthquake?
no, it can't happen because brick can't withstand a 1.0-8.0+ earthquake
Why might a building that is made of flexible material like wood withstand the effects of an earthquake better than a building that is made of a rigid material like brick?
Rigid materials may shatter when exposed to the waves of an earthquake.
How can a brick or wood frame be modified to help it withstand an earthquake?

How can a brick or frame building be modified to help it withstand an earthquake?
Reinforce or strengthen the walls. Plywood panels can strengthen the walls. Metal connectors can strengthen the house's frame.

Which area would likely suffer the most damage from magnitude 6.8 earthquake?
area with older brick structures
What is brick used for?
Firebrick is built primarily to withstand high heat, as in the "firebox" of a fireplace.

Why is the term brick building improper?
It isn't improper if it is a brick building. But a wood building with a brick veneer is not a brick building. Many people speak of a house as being a brick house, but it is probably a frame house with brick veneer. Perhaps that is what the question is about.
Which house would be more stable during a earthquake a brick or single story would frame house?
A timber building is more likely to be safe in an earthquake than a brick building, but this is not guaranteed, because it will depend on the structural design and the fixings used. This is because: * Timber has a natural elasticity (it will bend somewhat without breaking) * Timber is lighter than brick and because Force= mass.acceleration, a lighter building does not need to resist as much force as a heavy building in an earthquake. The acceleration loads experienced by a building in an earthquake can be as strong as or stronger than gravity (9.8ms-2), and act in many directions and change rapidly. If you picture a building tossed onto its side, this would represent a similar size force to one of the many that are applied to a building in a large earthquake. For a brick building to be safe in an earthquake, the bricks need to be tied back to an elastic structure (usually timber or steel) that will withstand the earthquake and be capable of carrying the load of the bricks and their accelerating mass during the quake. The inelasticity of the mortar beween the bricks also means that the bricks are likely to separate and fall which makes them unsafe to be near in an earthquake. For these reasons brick is only used as a veneer over structural framing, not as structure, in New Zealand, which is on an earthquke prone fault line on the Pacific Rim.
