Question 7 of 10 • FL-2002070-M/J Comprehensive Science 2 A-CR
Sylvia is designing a new shopping center to be built near a transform boundary. Aware of the dangers of geologic activity along a transform boundary, what would be the best safety feature for Sylvia’s design?
Answer
A
Buildings with heat-resistant exteriors that can withstand high temperatures from erupting volcanoes.
B
Shorter buildings designed with some flexibility, enabling them to move without falling apart during an earthquake.
C
Taller buildings that are made of very rigid steel beams that are strong enough to withstand the effects of an earthquake.
D
Taller buildings with very deep foundations that go past the transform boundary’s depth, anchoring them in the event of an earthquake.
