Why will the Alaskan Way Viaduct collapse? The Alaskan Way Viaduct will collapse because of an earthquake.The earthquake’s cause has to do with the layers of the Earth‚ mainly the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The result of the lab “Density Column” proved that since the layers of the Earth are stacked on top of each other‚ like the liquids in the “Density Column”‚ the layers must have different densities. Another lab that was done in class‚ “Density Cubes”‚ showed that density‚ or
