Check understanding
- Describe at least one feature that makes buildings more earthquake-resistant
- Explain how tsunami warning systems detect danger and alert communities
- Describe how communities prepare for earthquakes and eruptions through drills and evacuation plans
“If your child saw a documentary about earthquake-proof buildings in Japan, could they explain how engineers design buildings to withstand shaking and how tsunami warnings give people time to evacuate?”
