What type of land development would be least damaged by earthquakes?
there really aren't lands that won't get the least amount of damage during an earthquake. With hills there's damage, and with flat ground there's still damage, it doesn't matter were you are it would still have damage during an earthquake.
What kind of material would be prone to liquefaction during an earthquake?
Loose, saturated sandy soils with poor drainage are prone to liquefaction during an earthquake. When these soils are shaken by an earthquake, the water-saturated particles lose their strength and behave like a liquid, leading to ground instability and potential damage to structures.
Can an inground pool crack during an earthquake?
Yes, an inground pool can crack during an earthquake due to the ground shifting and the pressure exerted on the pool's structure. The extent of the damage would depend on various factors such as the pool's design, its age, and the intensity of the earthquake. Regular maintenance and ensuring the pool is properly constructed can help reduce the risk of damage.
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is typically used to assess the level of earthquake damage to homes and other buildings. The scale assigns a value based on observed effects and is used to quantify the intensity of shaking at a specific location during an earthquake.
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to home and other buildings?
The Mercalli scale would most likely be used to measure earthquake damage.
What part of North America would have the greatest risk of earthquake damage?
Hawaii would have the greatest risk of volcano damage
How much damage would a 9.1 earthquake do?
It would depend on where is happened. In an unpopullated area, the damage would be minimal. In a populated area like the case of the recent Japan earthquake, they had almost total devastation with a 9. Earthquake.
What area would be the safest during an earthquake?
the safest place during an earthquake is probably in the highest place you can be
What scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to assess earthquake damage to buildings and structures. This scale measures the intensity of shaking felt at a given location and categorizes the damage caused based on a set of criteria.
When an earthquake occurs where would be damage more?
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
What kind of damage can a 0.7 earthquake cause?
None at all. A magnitude 0.7 earthquake would be an instrumental earthquake, meaning it can be picked up on seismometers, but otherwise is not noticeable.
