Question

architects in japan had to consider which of natures challenges when planning their structures?
earthquakes
hurricanes
sinkholes
snowstorms

Explanation:

Japan is located in a seismically - active zone. Earthquakes are a common natural hazard there, so architects must consider earthquake - resistance when planning structures. Hurricanes are more common in tropical regions near the Atlantic and eastern Pacific; sinkholes are not as prevalent a concern in Japan compared to earthquakes; snowstorms are also not the most critical natural challenge for Japanese architecture compared to seismic activity.

Answer:

A. Earthquakes
