What else can I help you with?
Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibration?
the weather during the day of the earthquake
If an earthquake begins while you are in a building the safest thing for you?
The safest thing to do during an earthquake in a building is to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On." Drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. Avoid doorways, windows, and areas with heavy objects that could fall on you. If you are outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
What is the safest thing to do if an earthquake begins while you are inside a building?
Drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. Avoid doorways and windows, and stay inside until it is safe to exit the building.
When was the first earthquake proof building built?
The first earthquake-proof building, known as the 'Torre Latinoamericana', was built in Mexico City in 1956. It has since withstood several earthquakes and serves as a model for earthquake-resistant design in high-risk areas.
How does distance change earthquake effects?
The closer you are to the earthquake's epicenter, the stronger the shaking and potential damage. As distance increases, the intensity of the shaking decreases. However, other factors like the type of soil and building construction can also influence the effects of an earthquake at a given distance.
What type of building get the most damage from an earthquake?
not stertey
If you were inside a building and a earthquake comes will the building hold up?
This would depend on a number of factors:the magnitude of the earthquakethe location of the earthquake's epicentre in relation to the buildingthe strength of surrounding buildingsthe strength and structure of the buildingthe quality of the building's foundations
What is the best type of earthquake resistant bracing for a building?
The main noticing thing is the earthquake level of the place and also the distance from the sea.
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.
If you were going to construct an earthquake resistant building what materials would you use and why?
This would depend on what size, type of building you are going to build. If it was a house I would build a timber one because it would flex in an earthquake
What are some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was so severe?
Some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was severe could include the earthquake's magnitude and depth, the proximity of populated areas to the epicenter, the quality of building construction in the region, and the local geological conditions that amplify seismic waves.
What is a seismic safe building?
No building is seismic safe. No building is earthquake proof. However, there are steps that can be taken to make buildings more earthquake resistant. Concrete buildings made without rebar will collapse in an earthquake. Concrete buildings and concrete block buildings in Guatemala that hold up in earthquakes are those that use a lot of rebar. It is also important to use metal straps to tie the roof to the walls. The straps are inexpensive, but they maintain the integrity of the building. The roof should have cross pieces.
What makes a building earthquake free?
nothing can stand the power of god (earthquake)
The earthquake is where?
A Earthquake is located where the two plates (a plate boundary) meet and there is to much pressure building up and that is how and where a earthquake is and how it happens.
What type of earthquake was the japan earthquake of 2010?
It was a 9.0 level earthquake
