Does Japan have any solutions to their earthquakes?
The construct buildings knowing that earthquakes can strike.Many buildings are made to wobble when earthquakes strike. This gives a better chance for the building to absorb the earthquake and remain standing.

What are the strongest building materials to protect from earthquakes?
Base isolation pads can be built to absorb the vibrations to withstand earthquakes. Building materials can be reinforced to withstand an earthquake. For example, wood can be reinforced with bolts to make the wood more secure.
What does the HEAT have to do with earthquakes?
molton lava produced and moves with heat and earth quakes absorb heat
