One of the simplest adaptations is to build sturdy buildings out of wood, rather than brick or stone. Wooden buildings can naturally flex more to dampen the oscillations associated with an earthquake, whereas a brick structure would be more prone to crumble.
There are high-tech solutions too, employed in, for example, tall buildings in cities. Large masses with some degree of constrained movement can help dampen the motion of an earthquake. Alternatively or additionally, there may be measures taken to construct building that are partially decoupled from the ground (eg, on rollers), so that if an earthquake occurs, only a fraction of its energy is transferred into the building.
On a related note, one of my favourite examples of construction around tectonic or seismic events is the Alyeska Pipeline in Alaska. Where the pipeline crosses the Denali fault, it’s built on rails, so that if there is any fault offset (such as there was in the 2004 Denali Earthquake), the pipeline will slide and escape serious damage.

Can I use fake product designs in my professional graphic design portfolio?
Question by GraphicMinded: Can I use fake product designs in my professional graphic design portfolio?
In class our teacher had us design “products” for companies that really exist. These companies did not use these fictious products. I am now putting together my design portfolio and want to know if I can use these designs, or if it incorrectly implies that I’ve had these big compaines as clients.
