How do the forces generated during an earthquake affect building structures, and what building materials are most vulnerable?

Earthquakes generate forces that stretch, compress, or shear buildings. Traditional materials like brick and rock, while strong under compression, fail under shear stress, leading to collapse. Steel's flexibility makes it ideal for earthquake-resistant building skeletons, while lightweight roofs minimize injuries from falling debris.
