It is not known how animals acted before the Kashmir earthquake hit. Animals do act differently before earthquakes hit. For example cats have been known to run away and act very strange a few days before a earthquake hits.

What comes before during and after and earthquake?

Before an earthquake nothing perceptible to humans happen. Several types of animals act up though. During a earthquake the ground trembles. Depending on the magnitude this might be anything from a light tremble to a violent shaking. Most of the time nothing happens after an earthquake, but sometimes there is an aftershock, which is another earthquake of a lesser magnitude.


How do base-isolators the rubber and steel pads under some buildings reduce earthquake damage?

Base-isolated buildings using rubber or steel pads minimize earthquake damage to buildings by absorbing the energy from seismic waves. They act much like car shock suspension, which absorb energy while keeping car occupants and the car base steady.


Why do holly bushes have more spikes the bottom?

Holly bushes typically have more spikes at the bottom as a defense mechanism to deter animals from grazing on their lower branches. The spikes act as a deterrent to animals trying to feed on the shrub, protecting the plant from potential damage.


How do animals affect tropical rain forest?

Animals play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of tropical rainforest ecosystems. They help with seed dispersal, pollination, and nutrient cycling. Some animals also act as predators that regulate population numbers and maintain biodiversity.


Which bridge design is most earthquake resistant?

There are many factors to consider in this question and many types of bridge structure. The structure of a bridge is designed to resist the expected loads that will act on it. The main loads that usually act on a bridge are: - gravity (an acceleration downwards towards the centre of the Earth) on the bridge itself, - gravity on any objects on the bridge, - wind loads on the bridge ( can be in any direction but depends on exposure) - earthquake loads The loads experienced by the bridge in an earthquake can be as strong as or stronger than gravity (9.8ms-2), and act in many directions changing rapidly. A bridge designed to resist these therefore needs to have a structure that can resist significant forces in many directions, (to picture these forces it may help to imagine a model of the bridge being tossed from hand to hand, twisted and shaken), or it can be isolated from the earthquake forces by allowing the earth to move up down and around while the bridge sits quietly. If we look at the example of a simple suspension bridge for one person to walk over, made from some steel cables and wire mesh: - it is light and will not need to resist huge forces (Force= mass.acceleration), - it has the advantage of the elasticity of the steel, - it has the disadvantage that if it is not under much tension ( ie. has slack cables), these may be snapped rapidly in different directions in an earthquake, (picture a whip being used) which will put big loads on them.

Do dogs bark before earthquake?

dogs and many other animals have strange behaviors before an earthquake/tsunami because they can sense them. dogs bark, and birds fly away. just because your dog is barking at nothing however, it doesn't mean there's an earthquake.

How do cats freak out before an earthquake?

Cats may show signs of anxiety or restlessness before an earthquake, such as pacing, meowing excessively, or hiding. Their acute senses can pick up on precursor environmental changes like vibrations or sounds that signal an impending earthquake, causing them to become agitated.


How do earthquake warnings work?

Well there are warnings if there are earthquakes coming but not by humans by animals. Animals have very sharp senses, so if there was danger your animals will act crazy so you should keep an eye on your animals. Also i recommend you to have a pet. (NOT A LAZY ONE!)


What gives us a warning that an earthquake is going to strike?

Well, technically speaking, many animals act weird when a natural disaster is about to strike. Such as cats and dogs.

Why in kashmir not using consumer protection act?

Jammu and Kashmir,one of the most beautiful states of India, is also the fulcrum of issues marring India's peace drive.And because of this controversial side of J&K and also because of the living conditions there aren't the same compared to the rest of India, it doesn't fall in the purview of the Consumer Protection Legislation.But as we know, rules are substratum for harmonious living, another act that is Jammu & Kashmir Consumer Protection Act 1987 was introduced.
