What kinds of damage does a earthquake inflict on the built environment?
What does it
How many deaths are there in an average earthquake?
it varies on how power the earthquake is and how the environment where the earthquake happened is. if the earthquake is powerful and the environment is strongly built the average kill will be very less compared to a strong earthquake and an environment which is not built strong enough.
What damage occurs after a large earthquake?
If you mean damage to the surrounding are then it all depends on how built up the area is. Most damage is caused by structural collapse so more built up areas will see a higher amount of damage than a less built up, more rural area. If you mean damage to the earths crust itself then you need to look at what type of earthquake it was and the location of the epicentre (the point of origin)
Which structure is likely to experience the least amount of damage during an earthquake?
a house built on a solid rock ledge a houseboat anchored to the shore a flexible wood-frame house a home built on soft, flexible sand
During an earthquake what is likely to happen to a building built on loose soil and rock?
It will collapse .

What does substrate have to do with earthquake damage?
Substrate is defined as a material that provides the surface on which something is deposited. The degree and amount of earthquake damage is partially dependent upon the substrate of the building. If the structure is not structurally sound and built upon earthquake approved foundations, then damage will be greater.
What describes foundation damage?
Buildings built on soil sink due to settling after an earthquake

What is the average dollar amount of damages caused by an earthquake?
there would be considerable damage in poorly built structures
Why was there so much damage to the Kobe earthquake?
Because they built wooden frame houses to withstand the earthquake, funnily enough, fire often comes with earthquakes.....
What kinds of damage do tornadoes it inflict on the built environment?
Depending on the type of structure and the strength of the tornado damage can range from roof damage and broken windows to the complete destruction of well-built structures.
During an earthquake what is likely to happen to a building built on loose soil and rock?
It will collapse .
Do they have basements in California?
Some houses are built with basements. Many homes in California do not have basements, because of the threat of earthquake damage.
