How do we save ourselves from earthquakes?

                living in an earthquake-prone zones is often unavoidable.

for instance, almost entire japan lies in an earthquake-prone zone. for this reason, buildings here are primarily made "earthquake resistance" so that the loss can be minimized. buildings are built on foundations made of steel balls or from elastic materials such as bamboo. in skyscrapers, a pendulum weighing several tons is installed in the upper floors, which minimizes the vibrations that start in the upper storeys when an earthquake occurs. if an earthquake occurs, we should take refuge, at best, in the open or seek protection under a table.

                              in japan, where there are frequent earthquakes, school children practise what they should do in an earthquake. protect the head, crouch, and hide under the table.
