Answer:

Most loss of life and property in earthquakes is the result of damage to or collapse of buildings or other structures from strong shaking. Key to reducing such losses are recordings of structural response to damaging levels of shaking. Using these recordings, engineers can better design new buildings and strengthen existing buildings to survive future quakes.

You're walking on a beach and see a spit. Explain how a spit could have formed from a rocky headland
jek_recluse [69]

A spit  could form from a rocky headland where prevailing winds would blow at an angle to the rocky headland, gradually depositing sand and shingle at that place.

A spit is a permanent landform resulting from marine deposition and wind deposition. It is usually a long and narrow accumulation of sand or shingle with one joined to the land and the other end projecting at   a narrow angle out into the sea.

Salt marshes sometimes form on the sheltered side of a spit.
