Earthquakes can shake the ground very hard. But some buildings are made to stay strong. These buildings move a little when the ground moves. This helps them not break.
Builders use special tools to make these buildings. They put big, strong springs or rubber under buildings. These help the buildings bounce and not fall.
Some buildings have very deep and strong bases. This helps them stay in place.
Many buildings are made this way in Japan and other countries. It helps keep people safe during earthquakes.
Engineers always look for new ideas to make buildings stronger. Their work helps many people stay safe when the ground shakes.
