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

a) the material with which structures are built

b) the design of the areas structures

c) the weather on the day of an earthquake

d) the intensity and duration of the vibrations

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.
