Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "Engineers and engineering students often compete in earthquake model-building contests, where they design small-scale structures and test them on a shake table that mimics real seismic motion. Using materials like balsa wood or lightweight composites, teams must follow strict design rules while trying to create the strongest, most stable building possible. During the competition, the shake table gradually increases in intensity, simulating stronger and stro
