Nothing.
This person is kinda saying nonsense.
Wood is perfectly sound for structural building.
There are wooden temples in Japan dating back to the 6th(7th?) century.
A stone structure would have been shook apart by now.
Different materials have different use cases.
To clarify for people who don't know: japan has a shit ton of earthquakes.
They use the metric system so I believe it’s a shit tonne
Right but for earthquakes the global standard is imperial. Nobody uses metric, except the french during the paris commune, the kingdom of hawaii, and mongolia.
Maaaaaybe north korea and cuba, but definitely not vietnam; it was a whole thing in the 80s.
Oh my mistake you are obviously more well versed, I will only refer to earthquakes by their shit-tonnage from here on out
Not the individual earthquakes, but the quantity of them
I don't know shit about individual earthquakes.
