Give reason -buildings destroy due to earthquake ( if you answer properly i will mark you the brainliest for sure )
Answers
Explanation:
Liquefaction and subsidence of the ground are important effects which often are the cause of much destruction in earthquakes, particularly in unconsolidated ground. Liquefaction is when sediment grains are literally made to float in groundwater, which causes the soil to lose all its solidity.
The first main earthquake hazard (danger) is the effect of ground shaking. Buildings can be damaged by the shaking itself or by the ground beneath them settling to a different level than it was before the earthquake (subsidence). ... Buildings can even sink into the ground if soil liquefaction occurs.

Explanation:
Most earthquake-induced building damage, however, is a result of ground shaking. When the ground shakes at a building site, the building's foundations vibrate in a manner that's similar to the surrounding ground. Brittle elements tend to break and lose strength.
(Examples of brittle elements include unreinforced masonry walls that crack when overstressed in shear, and unconfined concrete elements that crush under compressive overloads.) Ductile elements are able to deform beyond their elastic strength limit and continue to carry load. (Examples of ductile elements include tension braces and adequately braced beams in moment frames (see Steel Structures that Provide Earthquake Resistance, below.)
