earthquake damage
What are the four factors that influence the amount of structural damage in an earthquake ?
?
(1) Magnitude of the earthquake - stronger is worse.
(2) Duration of the earthquake - longer is worse.
(3) Structural design and material use of a structure - wood-frame without cross-bracing and weak connection points is very bad. Use of brick and mortar as a structural complex is bad.
(4) Foundation rock - building on sediments is bad, building on solid bedrock is good.

How much damage would an earthquake cause to a PS3 and the disc?
like a 5.4 cause it did happen. the 5.4 magnitude in california that happened in july. i'm just asking. my ps3's fine anyway
if the PS3 was on and spinning the disc, the disc would probably scratch, but the PS3 would be fine unless it fell off of something.
