QuestionWhat can I do to prevent an earthquake?Community AnswerAn earthquake is a tremor caused by the plates underneath us moving and sliding against each other; that is why earthquakes are always on fault lines. Fault lines are the edges of where those plates meet. An earthquake cannot be prevented -- humans cannot dictate the Earth and its natural movements.

QuestionWhat happens if I am stuck under a bridge during an earthquake and there is traffic?Community AnswerExit the car and lay close and flat to the driver's side door. If the bridge collapses, the "pancake" effect the car might encounter could protect you from the bridge debris and hopefully will not collapse the car all the way to the ground, leaving you a safe zone.
