Explain the major differences between designing buildings for earthquake resistance and for wind resistance.

Earthquake's put vibration and seismic load on a building while wind puts a continuous force throughout the whole structure.

Explanation:

The most important difference between the design of a building that's resistent to earthquakes and resistant to high speed winds is that earthquake's put vibration and seismic load on a building while wind puts a continuous force throughout the whole structure.

Earthquake resistent building are equipped with a base that is isolated from the buildings with several layers of different material which absorb the vibration of the seismic waves and prevent them from reaching to the building.

Wind resistent buildings must have strong foundations and a sturdy structure/material that can withstand high pressure that the wind applies during events such as hurricanes.
