Yes and they all ready do have laws that do this. In Calfornia we build to the strictest standards.

Should buildings built near fault lines be earthquake proof?
yes its safer
Why did some of the buildings survive the Kobe earthquake and some did'NT?
because buildings built after 1960 were earthquake proof
Why not all movement along faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
What kind of building designs are safe for an earthquake?
buildings need to 'flex' and have suspension built into their foundations to resist earthquakes.
Should public buildings be allowed to be built on fault lines?
Public buildings should not be built on fault lines because it puts lives in danger and cost a lot of money.
Should laws say that buildings built near faults must be earthquake proof explain?
They all do have laws for making a building earthquake proof.

How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.

What describes foundation damage?
Buildings built on soil sink due to settling after an earthquake
What goes into earthquake proof buildings?
basically there are meta rods throughout the building that act as springs to minimize damage.
Why was Haiti's earthquake more powerful than Chile's?
Because Haiti is a place where the buildings are made of sticks and bricks. Nothing there is well built. There were not prepared for a large earthquake. Chile is a place where the buildings and houses were well built and there bridges were made of strong stone and cement. They have had large earthquakes in the past and were very prepared for the this large earthquake.
Why is it important for us to indentify areas which are prone to earthquake?
Areas prone to earthquakes should be identified so that people can prepare for them. Most notably, bridges and public buildings should be built to withstand earthquakes.
What do people learn from earthquakes?
How to prepared for the next earthquake. For example, construction has enhanced significantly due to earthquakes. Buildings are now built to withstand any earthquake.
What kind of building designs are safe for an earthquake?
buildings need to 'flex' and have suspension built into their foundations to resist earthquakes.
