I would say that igneous rock, because when it is fresh and unaltered can be quite tough to withstand shock would be a better construction material. From experience I believe that the large tightly fitting stones of the Inca fortresses were mostly constructed from igneous rock and it usually stands up well in earthquakes in Peru,

Answer:

The correct answer is igneous rock.

The igneous rocks, in general are made up of the solidified magma. These rocks are made up of a strong solidified magma, which cools over the time and form a continuous massive structure. The sedimentary rocks are made up different rocks, which are combined under the pressure. During the stress of the earthquake, the sedimentary rock can break more easily as they are loosely packed than the igneous rocks, whereas, the igneous rock remain solid and shear less easily.

It appears that religion has been around in one form or another for most of human history. Do you think it is getting stronger,
podryga [215]

I think this question is very dependent on who you ask personally I dont think its dying out but I definitely think it's less of a key aspect of society then it ever was. I think this because being apart of the the younger generation we have been taught to question everything, and religion doesn't always have the answers nor does it line up with alot of morals that people have.

i don't know this is just my opinion I hope it helps!!

How often does earth magnetic.field change dirrection?​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

That is much less often than in the last 150 million years, when the field has flipped every 600,000 years. In the last 10-20 million years it has sped up even more, to once every 200,000-250,000 years. "The evidence points to a more stable field in the very far past and fewer reversals," says Veikkolainen.
