Earthquakes are tremors of the earth’s crust. 

A strong earthquake can destroy buildings and roads, and kill people.

The problem is that it’s impossible to predict earthquakes.

However, we do know which areas of the world are at higher risk of earthquakes.  

In these areas, it is possible to construct buildings designed to resist earthquakes.

Special constructions are able to shake and deform to absorb the shaking of the ground.
