which methods can be used to reduce earthquake damage to structures?

design a system that allows a building to move as a unit.
use building materials that bend rather than break during an earthquake.
construct homes and other structures without foundations.

Explanation:

• Designing a system that allows a building to move as a unit helps distribute earthquake forces evenly, reducing damage.
• Using building materials that bend rather than break can absorb and dissipate earthquake energy.
• Constructing homes and other structures without foundations is not a valid method as foundations are crucial for stability.

Answer:

• Design a system that allows a building to move as a unit.
• Use building materials that bend rather than break during an earthquake.
