Where is the best place to stand during an earthquake? (Points : 1) in a doorway in the basement in the attic in a closet

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

You have to be somewhere where an object can't fall on you and some one open So it would be B @david_childress

most people say to stand in a doorway though, so A

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

I think that will be dangerous though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doorways are pretty sturdy

i think it's supposed to be safe to go underneath a table or a desk but that's not an answer :/

@david_childress idk, maybe they taught you something different in the lesson

Just dont run outside you will get killed like that if you are sleeping and wake up put a pillow over your head and wait until the shakin stops or go to a sturdy table and hide under it with the back of your neck coverd with your arms. Once the earthquake stops run outisde and expect after shocks. Also under a doorway is one of the best places to be just watch out for the door it might want to swing at you.

in a doorway because of structural supper etc

failing that, try standing as far away from the epicenter as possible xD
