The dangers of Earthquakes thoroughly depend on where you live in the world. However, many parts of the world are susceptible to Earthquakes. Earthquakes often cause death because houses collapse, and people are stuck under/killed by rubble, furniture, and other household items. To help ensure that this does not happen, earthquake proofing a house is a good idea.

What are some of the risks that people take when their homes are located in areas with loose soil or when their houses are not earthquake resistant?
That the house may be carried away during such extreme events as landslides, heavy winds, floods, and avalanches is one of the risks when people have their homes located on loose soil. That the house may fall to pieces is one of the risks when people don't make their homes earthquake resistant.
How does an active tendon system work in an earthquake-resistant building?

Can an earthquake make one vomit and make one see bright lights?
Probably not.
Why does an earthquake have only one magnitude?
Because magnitude is a measurement of the amount of energy released in an earthquake and this value will remain constant once the earthquake has finished. However the estimates seismologists make of this value may change as they gain more information about the earthquake...
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.
How can the people of Kobe prepare for another earthquake?
people in Kobe can prepare by getting protective gears in school which they have done. Rebuild houses and building to make them more earthquake resistant and to make sure there is not fault in anything so it does not cause things such as fires!

What are some ways to make bridges more earthquake-resistant?
You should place a more solid structures to it to prevent it from shaking. This way it wont collapse.

What is a a common way of making homes more earthquake resistant?
Build it on sturdy, fat ground (no slumps, no hills etc.) and make sure the exo-structure is made up of something damage-resistant.
What Japanese city proclaimed earthquake-resistant due to strict building codes?
Tokyo is a city in Japan known for having strict building codes that focus on earthquake resistance. Along with seismic-resistant designs and technologies, these regulations have helped make buildings in Tokyo more resilient to earthquakes.
Why are some houses destroyed in an earthquake and not others?
some houses are stronger than others and sometimes earthquakes hit in certain spots to make the effect on a house different when you in a bad area
What has the author D K Paul written?
D. K. Paul has written: 'Technologies for retrofitting of existing buildings and structures to make them earthquake resistant'
What should you make your earthquake prone model house out of?
Thin cardboard.
Why do Japanese make houses of wood and hay?
So they can compost them when finished, avoiding pollution and because of historical availability and flexibility when shaken by earthquake.
How do you make your home earthquake proof?
If you live in an area prone to Earthquakes with the risk of large earthquakes and are looking for a solution to securing your houses structure, you can not do this in a "do-it-yourself" fashion. Depending on when the house was built, it likely is already built to not collapse in an earthquake if it is newer, otherwise, you would need a contractor and a lot of money to make the necessary improvements to your houses foundation and structure.
