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

How are spring and neap tides different from regular tides? Check all that apply.

<h2>Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>

Explanation:

Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.

In this sense, there are two very special cases: The Spring and Neap tides.

Spring tides

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the tides higher. During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.

Neap tides

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle ( $90\º$ ), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.
