Question

1. how did japans location in the ring of fire affect its building designs?

people in japan avoided using natural resources for buildings.
homes and temples were built with flexible wood frames.
the japanese stopped building homes near the coastline.
japanese builders used heavy stone materials to keep buildings sturdy.

Explanation:

Japan's location in the Ring of Fire makes it prone to earthquakes. Flexible wood - frame construction helps buildings better withstand seismic activity. People do not avoid using natural resources, building near the coastline is not stopped due to this reason alone, and heavy stone materials are not ideal as they are more brittle in earthquakes.

Answer:

Homes and temples were built with flexible wood frames.
