Why do high rise buildings have a broad foundation?
High-rise buildings have wide foundations to help spread their weight evenly and stay stable. This is especially important in areas where the ground is soft or not very solid.
What affects do avalanches have on buildings?
Avalanches can cause extensive damage to buildings, including structural collapse, destruction of roofs and walls, and damage to foundations. Buildings in avalanche-prone areas should be built to withstand the forces exerted by avalanches, with reinforced structures, avalanche barriers, or relocation to safer areas. Mitigation measures such as snow fences, deflectors, and controlled detonations can also help reduce the impact of avalanches on buildings.
How do earthquake shock waves affect buildings and structures?
Earthquake shock waves can cause buildings and structures to shake and sway, potentially leading to structural damage or collapse. The intensity of the shock waves can vary based on factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake and the proximity of the building to the epicenter. Buildings designed to withstand earthquakes may have features such as flexible foundations, reinforced walls, and dampers to help absorb and dissipate the energy of the shock waves.

What types of buildings face greatest risk from earthquakes?
Houses in earthquake prone areas, like Greece for example, are made to be elastic. And on stilts, so the entire surface of the building doesnt touch the ground. The foundations of the buildings are concrete, with at its core, iron bars coiled up like gigantic srpings. Most appartment buildings which are built today in Greece can withstand earthquakes with forces up to 8.0 on the Richter scale.

How earthquake can be prevented?
The earthquake itself cannot be prevented as it is caused by plate tectonics, but one way you can help to stop buildings falling is to secure them in firm foundations, as change the resonant frequency so that no pitch of sound will be able to topple the building like what happened to a bridge in California.
