In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.

<u>Explanation:</u>

They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.

Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.

Since bacillus megaterium are non-motile, they may not be able to avoid harmful toxins in the environment.
quester [9]

Answer:

B, C,  & D

Explanation:

Just like any other organism, bacteria too also need to survive in their environment. When the environment become unfavorable for growth and development, they shift from a vegetative state to a dormant state. They do this through formation of endospores that are highly resistant to extreme stress. This is especially significant for bacteria that have no motility. Bacteria that have flagella can move into a new environment.
