Scientists have been working to uncover safer methods of construction and new structural technologies that “mitigate” the effects of earthquakes. And they’re finding that where a building is erected is just as important as how it’s engineered
Discovery Channel has a cool earthquake simulator in which you are able to pick from 2 options – type of ground and prevention – that your building will have, and then pick the magnitude of the Earthquake (tremor, quake or superquake) to make take the simulation.
Try it out and think twice before picking your next house ;P
