A brick house can be relatively safe in an earthquake if it is structurally sound and built to modern seismic standards. However, unreinforced brick structures are particularly vulnerable to cracking and collapse during seismic events. The safety of a brick house also depends on factors like the quality of construction, the foundation, and the local geology. Retrofitting with steel reinforcements and proper anchoring can significantly enhance its earthquake resilience.

no, it can't happen because brick can't withstand a 1.0-8.0+ earthquake
What is the difference between a brick house and a brick veneer house?
A brick house has walls made entirely of bricks. the outside walls are usually double brick wit an 1 1/2 inch cavity between them these walls are connected for strength with brick ties and the internal walls are are single brick.Brick veneer houses have a single brick skin around the outside with a similar cavity tied to a timber or steel frame the internal walls are also timber or steel and are finished with plasterboard sheets.

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.
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.
