2
Q
Earthquake hazard resistant design in developed countries
A
Deep foundations that allow movement
Shock absorbers built in structure
Pendulums
Cross bracing prevents collapse
3
Q
How does soil type affect biome distribution?
A
Drainage -> poor drainage = beat bogs
Fertility -> more nutrients = greater diversity of plants
Regularly dry / frozen -> plants adapt root systems
Underlying bedrock effects soil formation eg limestone
