Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations?
Soloha48 [4]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

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.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • 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.
