Extreme metal stress from the lateral motion of the earthquake. which caused the collapse of the upper tiers.
Check ALL of your wall figures so they wont fall on you or anything. During the earthquake get under a table or a door-frame.
Generally, it is safer to be at the bottom of a building during an earthquake because the structure is more stable at ground level. However, this can vary depending on factors like the type of building and the severity of the earthquake. It is important to follow evacuation protocols and guidance from local authorities in such situations.
In a very strong earthquake things fall, and sometimes buildings collapse, so try to get to a place where things are not going to fall on you, preferrably in the open. Don't leave open flames, such as burning candles or gas stoves, since those can cause fires when they fall.
As a structural engineer, I would rather be on the second floor. Ask yourself this: Would I rather be under a bridge or on the bridge when it collapsed? The people in Michigan who rode the bridge down survived because the bridge did not fall as if dropped out of the sky. Part of the bridge "cushioned" the fall.
Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
The Golden Gate Bridge did not fall or fail in any respect. However, the nearby Bay Bridge lost part of its upper deck during the Loma Prieta Earthquake on October 17, 1989. Since then, additional damage has occurred to the Bay Bridge during construction for the earthquake retrofit.
No first of all because there aren't any fault lines in Egypt so there wouldn't be an earthquake in the first place but even if there was an earthquake it still wouldn't fall over
u can die because if its a big earthquake buildings and such fall and could fall on u?!!!!!!!
Because it is well designed and well built.
In romeo and Juliet, the birdhouse fell over because of the earthquake that had happened.
They are liable to collapse.
by a earthquake
Well there are a few things but the most common is air.Air does not fall during earthquakes.Birds do not fall during earthquakes as well.Basically anything that is invisible or that can fly does not fall during an earthquake.
1989 It didn't fall, it was demolished.
there an earthquake?
the main cause od death seems to be 'death by buildings' and not by the actual earthquakes them self because the earthquake shakes the buildings and if the builds are not earthquake, they fall down and kill nearly everyone underneath it.
because the buildings fall and the scientist have to learn how to make better ones so in the future they know what building is better
