Why a rural area might be a safer place to experience an earthquake than a large city?

Apparently, a large city consists of many infrastructures around. Once earthquake hits this area, there would be a very big chance that these buildings or bridges would collapse and this would result in more fatalities. In a rural area, you can only see a few of these and mostly, only plains or mountains are present.

Explanation:

probably not if net force is zero

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
