Step-by-step explanation:
Hence, staying in top floor of a high-rise building is practically safer than to be in the open street among the stampede of fear-stricken people
Because In the face of an earthquake, high-rise buildings usually SWAY much, but there is less intensity in the way they SHAKE. That said, the buildings shake less but sway much when the earthquake strikes. Therefore, those living in upper floors of a tall building experience slower movement of the building.
