Want this question answered?
A building that can resist earthquakes can fall down if you put more pressure on them then they were designed to withstand. For example if there was to be a major subsidence directly under half of the building it is likely that it will fall over.
Simple retangular shapes are building configuration response well to earthquakes. They can distribute force more evenly. U, L, H,T configurations don't resist well because of strong concentrated forcein the inside corners created by the those shapes.
no belize does not have earthquakes
Earthquakes are like a shock
As big as regular earthquakes.
I wonder which earthquakes could the egiptians be afraid of, I never heard of earthquakes in the Middle East except for pollitical ones. the question is answered below, apparently a cube is a better shape to resist earthquakes.
The Transamerica Pyramid can resist earthquakes because: 1. The building was built on a special base platform that allows it to reduce shaking from earthquakes. 2. Diagonal trusses at its base protect it from both horizontal and vertical forces. 3. It has a a 212 foot spire 4. It has a wide heavy base, declining in weight as the height increases. 5. Has some flexibility which is helpful in making sure the building doesn't just collapse during the earthquake 6. The little wing structures near the top
There are no shapes that can resist earthquakes, but the strongest shape (as we all know (Hopefully)) the triangle is the strongest but is useless to earthquakes. if you want something to hold stuff still during one. you will possibly need springs. they help for dampening the movement back and forth.
buildings need to 'flex' and have suspension built into their foundations to resist earthquakes.
(Using common sense) A pyramid would be a better design for earthquakes because it has a large base surface area and a smaller top, so that it is stable and it is practically impossible for it to fall over or collapse like a regular rectangular building would.

The strengths of Truss bridges are that Truss bridges can support and resist lateral loads. Another is that unlike the Arch and Beam bridges, the Truss bridge prevents twisting and swaying during earthquakes and high winds. Truss bridges also resist the forces of compression and tension.
what is the prefix or suffix for resist?
Make earthquakes, Breathe underwater, Talk to sea animals and horses (Poseidon "invented" the horse), manipulate water, resist undersea pressure, resist getting wet. the book series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" is about a boy, Percy, who is a demigod of Poseidon. I learned a lot about Greek mythology from those books.
what is a resist
Resist.
The last remaining wonder of 'The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World' is The Great Pyramid of Khofu at Giza (now part of Cairo, Egypt). The rest were either burned or broken because of earthquakes.
