Last week we investigated earthquakes, magnitude, focus depth, rock composition, and other things that we can not control. This week we try to control the amount of damage done by these natural disasters.
How do earthquakes cause damage?
How can we engineer structures to resist this damage?
Contract Week 4 has you engineering your own earthquake-safe building or researching the damage done by historical earthquakes of different magnitudes.

Earthquakes cause damage by having multiple kinds of seismic waves topple and destroy buildins by their movments. We can engineer structures by studying how earthquakes do their damage, then test out models of different kind of structures in real earthquakes.
