Welcome back friends, Part 2
As we all know that all the building structures are rest on Earth. For the safety and stability of the structure we need to have some knowledge about Earth and seismology.
Because of that I am here giving mcq questions and answers related to Earth science and seismograph. 👇👇👇 Before starting to this Part I will suggest you Go from part 1
