Question

A city is being built near a location where two continental plates meet. In designing buildings, architects of this new city should take into account which kind of possibilities?

Answer 1

The most important thing that the designers should take into account are the potential earthquakes - the buildings should be able to withstand the shaking of the ground.

Additionally, Earthquakes often lead to fires, so the buildings should also be fire-proof; especially not made of wood.

Finally, the possibility of a tsunami should be considered.
