How does building construction relate to the damage that earthquakes can cause?
Building construction plays a significant role in determining the level of damage caused by earthquakes. Structures built with seismic design principles and materials that can absorb energy have a better chance of withstanding the shaking during an earthquake. In contrast, buildings that are not constructed to withstand seismic forces are more likely to sustain damage or collapse during an earthquake.
Where are earthquake most likely to happen?
it accualy depends on what fault it is near and if your location is most vonerable to an a earthquake. in case you are wondering, a fault is a crevice in the earth where the earth is most likely to shake. lots of faults are really dangerous, so it is allways a safe idea to have an earthquake kit if you happen to live near a fault.
How can modern building codes help prevent death during an earthquake?
Structure built to poor standards or no standards are likely to collapse during an earthquake, often killing or injuring people inside. Buildings constructed to modern codes, especially codes that consider earthquakes, are far less likely to collapse.
WHAT TYPE of building can hold a earthquake?
Buildings with seismic retrofitting, flexible materials, and innovative technologies such as base isolators or energy dissipation devices are more likely to withstand an earthquake. Reinforced concrete or steel structures with proper design considerations for lateral forces can also be more resilient during an earthquake. Engineering advancements and adherence to building codes play a significant role in ensuring a building's ability to hold up against seismic activity.
When is an earthquake likely to occur?
Earthquakes can occur anytime, but are more likely in regions along fault lines or plate boundaries. Seismologists cannot predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, so it's important to be prepared and have emergency plans in place.
What is the most likely place for a earthquake to happen?
In Europe
Which type of building would most likely survive an earthquake?
Any that are built in an earthquake area if you don't want them to fall. And any that would not stand on their own in an earthquake.
Will earthquake events likely happen because of solar alignment during solstice 2012?

What do engineers do to learn how to make a building more likely to survive an earthquake?
flexible, circular moorings
Do earthquakes happen on sunny days?
Earthquakes can happen during any weather, an earthquake is essentially when 2 tectonic plates collide. This means that their most likely to occur after a tsunami, they can occur doing any weather though.
What happen if a tall building more likely to be damage by an earthquake if it is on a a mountain of granite or a valley of sediment?
A tall building on a mountain of granite is less likely to be damaged by an earthquake compared to a valley of sediment. Granite is a more stable and solid foundation that can help dissipate the seismic waves, whereas sediment in the valley is more prone to liquefaction and amplification of seismic waves, making it more vulnerable to damage.
Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
If an L shaped building is affected by an earthquake which limb of the building will be more affected and why?
The top of the building will be more affected. Because theres nothing to support it up top, all it depends on to stand up is the ground, but during an earthquake, the ground is shaking uncontrollably. You'd see it on mythbusters
How can the type of ground beneath a building affect the building's response to seismic?
It can affect the strength, durability, or the sturdiness of the building. If the ground beneath it is sand, It is more than likely to fall during an earthquake or something. Sand is a horrible foundation for a building. Loose soil can also affect the building in the same way, making it slide or sink into the ground.
If a street was built were there are frequent earth quakes what will happen to the street?
If an earthquake strikes, such a street is likely to get destroyed.
Will the Japan earthquake happen again?
Yes it is very likely to happen again. It happened 70 years ago in same place it was just not as bad.
