How would you describe four pieces of technology that are designed to make buildings earthquake resistant?
The four pieces of technology that are designed to make buildings earthquake resistant are active tendon systems, cross braces, tuned mass dampers, and base insulators. The active tendon system uses computer sensors placed at the bottom of a building to shift the weight of large buildings as ground movement is detected. Cross braces are two diagonal beams that form an X and allow the building to withstand seismic activity. Tuned mass dampers are devices mounted in a building to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations. Base insulators are pads that allow a building to be built away from the ground to give it some movement and sway when earthquakes occur.

What words are used to describe an earthquake of magnitude 5 to 7?
That would be a "kind of strong" earthquake but 8+ is huge.
Does the word focus mean the location of an earthquake?
The word focus (or hypocentre) is used to describe the location within the Earth where an earthquake occurs. The point directly above this on the Earth's surface is known as the earthquake's epicentre.
The earthquake which struck Haiti was recorded as magnitude 7.0 what does this mean?
Magnitude is a term used to describe how much energy was released by an earthquake. It gives an indication of the amplitude of the seismic waves that occur and also on the length of the fault rupture zone and the displacement along the fault. A magnitude 7 earthquake is defined by the US Geological Survey as a "major" earthquake. In general earthquake over a magnitude of 4 or 5 can cause damage although the exact reasons why some earthquake are more damaging than others is more complext than just the absolute magnitdue of the earthquake. For more information on this, see the related question.
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms folded mountains?
The tectonic plates that collide vertical to one opposit end of the other so that the can crash making an earthquake this is done to global warming but really it is earthquake causing global warming
What does the pattern from a seismograph reveal?
that the earthquakes can and will ouccer in certen spots. it also show that there can be reppeded earthquakes in the same magnitued
Describe the damage an earthquake does?
Earthquakes can cause damage by shaking the ground, leading to buildings collapsing, landslides, and tsunamis in coastal areas. The intensity of the damage depends on factors like the magnitude of the quake, depth of the earthquake, distance from the epicenter, and the quality of buildings and infrastructure in the affected area.
Describe how an earthquake can destroy a country?
An earthquake CAN NOT destroy a country.

How do you describe heat resistant glass for cooking vessels?
You can describe a heat resistant glass for cooking vessels by saying that it does not break under high temperatures. This is because it is made with a chemical element called boron. Pyrex is an example of heat resistant glassware.

Can you describe 4 pieces of technology that are designed to make buildings earthquake resistant?
Base isolators: These are devices that separate the building from the ground to reduce the impact of seismic movements. Damping systems: These are designed to absorb and dissipate seismic energy to reduce the building's movements during an earthquake. Flexible piping systems: These allow for movement and flexibility within a building's plumbing and mechanical systems during seismic events. Reinforced concrete walls: Adding reinforced concrete walls helps increase a building's resistance to lateral forces during an earthquake.
