Steel frames are sturdier than wood, or something else that might be used. So, if they are shaken (as is the case for an earthquake) they are less like to fall down.

Engineers in Japan design the buildings with the understanding of the frequency and intensity of earthquakes. They build the buildings to move with the motion of earthquakes so they will not crumble.
So that they/their items are not destroyed.

Earthquake proof buildings are not common worldwide due to the high costs associated with their construction. In areas with frequent earthquakes, like Japan and California, there is more incentive to invest in earthquake resistant technology. Additionally, building codes and regulations in these regions often require construction to meet certain seismic standards.

They can't afford to have earthquake proof buildings and so suffer more
Absolutely NOT!!!! Haiti was a very poor country BEFORE the earthquake, and because of that the buildings were not earthquake proof, so thousands of people have died and the people don't have anything to eat/drink (not to mention they have no homes).

Earthquake-proof buildings incorporate features such as reinforced concrete frames, base isolation systems, damping devices, and flexible building materials to absorb and dissipate seismic forces. Proper design and construction techniques, as well as adherence to building codes and regulations, are crucial in ensuring a building's resilience to seismic events. Regular maintenance and inspections are also important to uphold the structural integrity of the building over time.
No, most buildings around the world are not earthquake-proof. Many older buildings were not designed to withstand strong earthquakes, and building codes and construction standards vary widely between regions, leading to some buildings being more vulnerable to seismic activity than others. Upgrading existing buildings to be more earthquake-resistant and enforcing strict building codes for new construction can help mitigate this risk.
Yes, it is possible to build earthquake-resistant buildings by using appropriate engineering techniques and materials. Some strategies include incorporating flexible foundations, installing bracing systems, and using steel frames or reinforced concrete. Designing buildings to withstand lateral forces, such as those caused by seismic activity, is essential in earthquake-prone regions.
