Answer:

<h2><em><u>Base</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>isolated</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>system</u></em></h2>

Explanation:

<u>Fixed based system:- </u>

A fixed-base building (built directly on the ground) will move with an earthquake’s motion and can sustain extensive damage as a result. 

<u>Base isolated system:-</u>

A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure).

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

<em><u>A</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>base</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>isolated</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>system</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>much</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>more</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>better</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>in</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>area</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>where</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>there</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>are</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>lot</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>of</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>earthquakes</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

What happens to the actual image you see between the time you see it and it your brain registers it?
USPshnik [31]

Answer AND Explanation:

As light reflected from an external object enters the eye, it is refracted by the cornea, aqueous humour, the lens and vitreous humour so that an image is focused on the retina. The image is real, upside down and smaller than the object. The photoreceptor cells are stimulated by the reflected light and impulses are set off. The impulses are transmitted by neurons through the optic nerve to the optic region of the brain. The brain interprets the impulse as an upright impression of the object.
