it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
What can happen to wet soil during the shaking from an earthquake?
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.
What characterizes the size of an earthquake?
They come in all magnitudes from can't-be-felt to knock-down-everything standing for 500 miles. They can happen almost anywhere (swamps and sandbars seem safe), but most (85%) happen on plate boundaries.
What are the different intensity of earthquake and where it happen?
The intensity is on 0-10 scale on Mercalli scale.It occurs are different seismic faults when active from a minor tremor to a major one.

What is a area where few earthquakes have happened recently but will probably happen in the future?
If the part of the fault has had large earthquakes historically, then this may be a locked section, or seismic gap, where strain is building up for a future big earthquake. If there is no evidence of it having big quakes in the past then it may just not be very active.
