Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

Based isolated buildings face less damage than other buildings when disasters such as an earthquake strikes because in the base or foundation of those buildings, there are shock absorbing springs. Whenever an earthquake comes, they ‘absorb’ the shock by moving gently back and forth whereas the other buildings shake violently and thus the damage to those buildings are more as compared to base isolated ones

Well if the base of the building is stronger there could be a great chance that the building wont just collapse.

24) Most of the precipitation that falls onto Earth's surface ________. A) is already unusable because of acid rain B) evaporate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."
