Question

Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The answer is A. If the structure of a building is built with earthquake-resistant materials, it does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations.

EXPLANATION:

• Especially in the countries that are prone to an earthquake, houses and building should be carefully planned and built in order to withstand an earthquake.

• The bricks should be held in place with the right mortar. Also, the base of the building should be made stronger rather than the top floors.

• Steel-framed buildings and good pillared buildings also tend to survive powerful quakes and vibrations.
