Question

(Please Help Im blowing most of my points for this)

In earthquake-prone areas, engineers design buildings that are resistant to earthquake damage. Here’s a diagram of an earthquake-resistant building in Japan. Explain how features A, B, and C help protect the building from earthquake damage. In your explanation, describe how you could model each feature using marshmallows and toothpicks.

Answer 1

Answer:

In this earthquake-resistant building, two steel supports in the shape of an X (A) help to reinforce walls. Concrete walls with steel bars in them (B) lessen any rocking movements. Shock absorbers (C) take up some of the building’s kinetic energy during a quake. I could use the toothpicks as the two steel in the shape of an X. The concrete walls and the shock absorbers would be the marshmallows.

Answer 2

Features shown by points A, B & C are reinforce walls, concrete walls and shock absorbers respectively.

What is earthquake?

Earthquake is a kind of natural disaster in which an intense shaing of the earth's outermost layer takes place.

According to the image following points we will consider as:

• Two steel supports in the shape of an X (A) help to reinforce walls in this earthquake-resistant structure.
• Any rocking movements are reduced by concrete walls with steel bars (B).
• During a quake, shock absorbers (C) absorb some of the kinetic energy of the building.

We can use the toothpicks in the shape of X as the two steel and concrete walls & the shock absorbers as the marshmallows.

Hence, marshmallows are used as the concrete walls and toothpicks are used as two steel rods.
