I WONDER - How Can Buildings Be Protected From Earthquakes?

The video discusses innovative methods to protect buildings from earthquakes, focusing on a new technology developed by Japanese engineers. This technology uses an air cushion system that lifts buildings off their foundations when an earthquake is detected, preventing damage. Sensors in the ground detect seismic activity and activate the air cushion, ensuring the building remains stable while the ground shakes.

What is the significance of the air cushion in the technology?
