Question

Please actually answer the question i need the answer, i'll give brainliest!!!!

A city is located in an area that has experienced 7.5-magnitude earthquakes in the past.
The city is considering building a new skyscraper.
Use the earthquake magnitude scale to predict the amount and type of damage residents should expect from future earthquakes of similar magnitude.
Then suggest a way to minimize the effects of future earthquakes on the skyscraper.

Answer 1

According to the scale, residents should expect major damage and the potential for the skyscraper to collapse if a future earthquake were to occur.
Ways to minimize future earthquakes impact on the skyscraper could be using stronger materials, creating better routes to quickly escape should an earthquake occur, and overall a more supported structure that can withstand the earthquakes magnitude.
