Natural dampers are systems in nature that reduce or dissipate energy, typically in the form of vibrations or oscillations. Here are two examples:
1. **Swamps and Wetlands**: These ecosystems act as natural dampers for seismic vibrations. The waterlogged soil and dense vegetation absorb and dissipate energy from seismic waves, which can reduce the intensity of vibrations felt during an earthquake.
2. **Mountain Ranges**: When seismic waves
