Yes they do depending on which type of faultline they're on or near. There are four types of faults:
Normal fault, where one side of the faultline is descending into the Earth and rubs against the other side as it falls due to gravity.
Reverse fault, essentially the reverse of the Normal fault; where one side is raised up along the faultline.
Transcurrent(strike-slip) fault, where one side scrapes horizontally against the other side as the plates move (e.g. the San Andreas fault).
Thrust fault, where one side of the faultline thrusts up onto the other side of the faultline.
Buildings in San Francisco are designed to be earthquake-resistant rather than completely earthquake-proof. They are engineered to withstand a certain level of seismic activity and minimize damage in the event of an earthquake. Retrofitting older buildings and adhering to strict building codes help improve their resilience to earthquakes.
It depends! Depending upon the built-in energy at the epicenter before and after the earthquake (main shock), and/or the energy (especially stored at some weaker places) generated after the earthquake, aftershocks of an earthquake range in their time.For more details, refer: http://www.answers.com/library/Wikipedia-cid-1349 Aftershock
Rock formations can impact the way seismic waves travel or are reflected during an earthquake. The type of rocks present can affect how much energy is transferred during an earthquake, influencing ground shaking and potential damage. Additionally, certain rock formations may amplify or dampen earthquake waves, impacting the intensity experienced in different areas.
well, technology has been around for a long time and is quite strong but in earthquakes still it is strong. for example the Japanese tower tallest tower in the world in, they built a big ball and it makes the tower move with the earthquake which makes it impossible for it to fall.
Different types of livelihood in different places can include farming, fishing, herding, hunting, forestry, mining, manufacturing, service industries, and tourism. The type of livelihood often depends on factors such as natural resources, climate, geography, and cultural traditions specific to each region.
For three reasons 1) different places have different aesthetic qualities. 2) different places are publicized differently / by different amounts 3) different places have different amenities and different difficulties in getting to.
people shop in different places for different reasons for example one might shop there because the things are cheap, or maybe the things are good quality, there are different reasons
No, they don't. In fact earthquake are a result of transform plate movement.
Iceland may be earthquake prone but its also a beautiful country, with a rich heritage, lots of beautiful scenery, wonderful wildlife and natural occurrence's. The earthquake are moderate and usually not very big and if your wondering why people live there, you should look at other places like Philippine's, or New Zealand. The are lots of places that have faults. If you want a really good example, one of the busiest places in the US is on a fault. The San Andreas Fault, that's right California is on one of the most active faults out there right now.
An earthquake can happen anywhere. But some places are more active than others.
NewOrleans, (hurricane), Haiti, (earthquake),Japan (earthquake)Srilanka(tsunami), Turkey (earhquake), Chile (earthquake)
Wikianswers does not give students the answers to homework questions, school projects, or exams.
Because of the fault line
well the waves carried through out places vibrates the earth
The earthquake will be a lot bigger but it will only affect the places near to where the plates smash together i think!
