User: NEHRP was created as a result of

Weegy: The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) was established by the U.S. Congress when it passed the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977, Public Law (PL) 95?124. [ At the time of its creation, Congress' stated purpose for NEHRP was "to reduce the risks of life and property from future earthquakes in the United States through the establishment and maintenance of an effective earthquake hazards reduction program." ]

User: In order to make the construction of seismically safe buildings economically possible, the ICSSC drafted Executive Order 12699 to mandate that a building should be designed to prevent

Weegy: d. All of the above.

User: Scientists use __________ waves to find an earthquake’s epicenter

Weegy: Body waves or S waves.. [ A type of seismic wave, the S-wave, secondary wave, or shear wave (sometimes called an elastic S-wave) is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves. ]

User: ___________ waves cause most of the damage to the built environment during an earthquake

User: waves that cause most of the damage to the built environment during an earthquake

User: Earthquake activity can be caused by ___________ movement of plates

User: Earthquake activity can be caused by which movement of plates

User: A fault is a fracture in the earth’s outer shell, on either side of which rock mass moves _____

User: Seismic waves generally travel much shorter distances on the West Coast than on the East Coast because

Weegy: : Seismic waves generally travel much shorter distances on the West Coast than on the East Coast because: the soil composition is different in the two regions.

User: The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale measures the __________ of an earthquake

Weegy: The Richter Scale is the best known scale for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes. The magnitude value is proportional to the logarithm of the amplitude of the strongest wave during an earthquake. [ A recording of 7, for example, indicates a disturbance with ground motion 10 times as large as a recording of 6. The energy released by an earthquake increases by a factor of 30 for every unit increase in the Richter scale. Scales for measuring earthquakes...

User: The Richter Scale measures the __________ of an earthquake

Weegy: Richter magnitude scale is used to measure the size of earthquakes. It is also known as the local magnitude scale and was created in 1935 by Charles Richter and Beno Gutenberg both from the California Institute of Technology. [ ]

User: Liquefaction occurs when

Weegy: Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.

User: Which term refers to powerful ocean waves caused by an earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption on the sea floor

Weegy: a. Tsunami, The movement at the sea floor leading to tsunami can be produced by earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions.

User: When a building and the ground vibrate at the same rate, they resonate and the vibrations______________

Weegy: d. decrease, putting more stress on the building

"Establishment of temporary housing" may be considered mitigation. Mitigation means reducing or alleviating the severity of something.
