You need to make the buildings more flexible like use wood or steel instead of brick or concrete cause they are not flexible. Build triangle structures because triangles are the strongest shapes. You can add a mass damper on top of the building and an active tendon system on the bottom of the building because it will shift the weight around making the building steady. Also install base isolators underneath the sand. Base isolators will absorb the seismic waves. Base isolators are made if layers of steel and rubber wrapped around a lead core. It will prevent the waves from traveling through the building. You can also put flexible pipes which will prevent the pipes from breaking. If it breaks, waterlines and gas lines will leak

1. Any elevated area, such as mountain or an upland, separated two drainage basin such an elevation is known as a water divide—for example, Indus and the Ganga river. The high mountain or plateaus region where the water of the river flows in two opposite direction.

4. The Ganga has two main headstreams are Bhagirathi and Alaknanda. They both meet to form the Ganga at Devprayag.

5. In Tibet, the river carries a smaller volume of water and less silt, as it is a cold and dry area. Hence, the river carries a large volume of water and a considerable amount of silt.

6. River Narmada and Tapi are the two Peninsular rivers which flow through trough.

7. Rivers and lakes are of a great value to human beings. They help to develop hydel power, provide water for irrigation, drinking, industries and they help to develop fisheries. They will enhance natural beauty and help in the development of tourism and provide recreation.

Hope this helped!

Which phrase gives two processes scientists think move the Earth's lithospheric plates?

hammer [34]

Convection in the mantle and pressure of magma on the edge of the plate

Explanation:

Convection currents occur in the mantle because the upper mantle (asthenosphere) is generally cooler than the lower mantle. The convections apply upward pressure on the lower edges on the lithosphere as the melted rocks upwell from below. The lithosphere deflects the convections and as the convections churn clockwise of anticlockwise, they drag the lithosphere with it via friction. This is what is stipulated to cause tectonic plate movements.
