Question

2. How do countries in the pacific ring of fire prepare for such seismic activity? Give examples of buildings that were designed to withstand big earthquakes and explain the mechanisms that made them so.

Answer 1

Answer:

$heya \: mate$

The abundance of volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire is caused by the amount of movement of tectonic plates in the area. Along much of the Ring of Fire, plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones. That is, the plate that is underneath is pushed down, or subducted, by the plate above.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end.
