The building should have a wide heavy base, declining weight as the height increases. <span>It should allow some flexibility helps as well. </span>
<span>However, the ground makes a significant difference as well. </span>Wood-frame houses withstand earthquakes very well because they can bend and "give" with the shock waves.

Identify the four types of seismic waves. How do each of these waves behave as they travel through the Earth?
Oksana_A [137]

Compressional or P (for primary) , Transverse or S (for secondary) , Love, and Rayleigh. Primary waves push and pull the ground in the direction the wave is traveling. Secondary waves travel in the same direction, but they shake the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. Love waves move back and forth horizontally. Rayleigh waves cause both vertical and horizontal ground motion.

Which of the following scenarios best describes how the Hawaiian Islands formed in the Pacific Ocean? View Available Hint(s) Whi
pogonyaev

The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.

The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.
