Answer:
The building will vibrate around one particular frequency known as its natural, frequency, the building and ground share the building frequency its said to be in resonance.
Explanation:
- Resonance is the frequency of the system to oscillate with a greater velocity than the others as all buildings have a resonance period which is the number of seconds for a building to vibrate and the ground also shows the seismic resonance frequency, the mismatch of the resonance and the wave frequency. Thus taller buildings will be damaged more than shorter structures.
- <u>These forces create the lateral accelerations that scientists measure by the G-forces. The sudden movement creates enormous stresses for the building's structure, including the beams, the columns, and the walls and the floors, as well as the joints that hold them together. If that stress is large enough, the building can collapse.</u>
Answer:
- the distribution of earthquakes
- certain fossil distributions
- the distribution of volcanoes
- the location of mountain chains
Explanation:
The plate tectonics are crucial for the processes that happen on the surface or near it on our planet, as well as the physical features of it. The movement of the tectonic plates causes lot of stress when they interact, and from that stress, the crust deep inside cracks and adjusts, which releases a lot of energy and causes earthquakes. Also, on the plate boundaries, because the crust is cracking and is not as tough, the magma from the mantle manages to rise up, and as it reaches the surface it lifts up the land in a cone shape, creating volcanoes, be it as island or continental arcs. When continental tectonic plates collide, they don't subduct, but push against each other, and that enormous pressure lifts up the area around the boundary, gradually giving rise to mountain chains. The fossils are n interesting example as well, as they are one of the best clues about the movement of the tectonic plates. There are lot of fossils that are identical, from the same species, but found on different continents that are not connected in the present, indicating that in the past the continents had different positions and were connected.
Answer:
Earthquakes are caused by fault lines.
Explanation:
The continents are on massive tectonic plates the are constantly shifting because of the movement of magma underneath them. When the tectonic plates rub against each other, or collide with each other, it creates movement that we know as earthquakes. The reason why we feel earthquakes is because of the sudden energy release which causes seismic waves. One famous fault if the San Andreas fault, located in California. That is the reason why earthquakes are common in California (because it is located right next to a fault line).
