A seismic wave is created during an earthquake. It will force the ground to tremble and collapse. This will result in huge damage with intensified force.  

Explanation:

  • This strong ground movement will be resulting in collapsing of the basement of any kind of building structure.  
  • As the force imposed by earthquake is directly proportional to the weight of the building, the heavier the building, the heavier the damage.  
  • So if we built a home with light weighed wood, then the force applied during earthquake will be lowered.
