False. The past occurrence of earthquakes does not guarantee that another earthquake won't happen in the future. Just because an area has not had an earthquake in over a hundred years does not mean that the risk of an earthquake occurring in the future is eliminated. Earthquakes can occur at any time and in any location where geological conditions are conducive to seismic activity.
False. The closer an earthquake is, the shorter the time difference between the arrival of P waves and S waves. P waves travel faster than S waves, so the time interval decreases as the distance to the earthquake epicenter decreases.
False. While geologists can identify areas that are at higher risk for earthquakes based on historical data and the movement of tectonic plates, it is currently not possible to predict with exact accuracy where and when an earthquake will strike. Earthquakes are complex natural events that involve multiple factors, making accurate prediction challenging.
This statement is incorrect. The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter, not the S wave. S waves are one type of seismic wave that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake.
Seismic waves do not end at an earthquake's center; rather they continue to propagate through the Earth in all directions from the initial point of rupture. The seismic waves can be recorded by seismometers located around the world, providing valuable information about the earthquake's location, magnitude, and source mechanism.
True! The small magnitude earthquakes that sometimes precede a major earthquake are known as fore shocks.

False. The magnitude of earthquakes is rated on the Richter scale, not the vibration caused by the earthquake. The Richter scale measures the energy released by an earthquake at its source.
What? Nothing was FALSE. It actually DID happen - in fact there have been 9,000 of them in just over a year. Nothing "false' about that!

False. An earthquake is a seismic wave caused by a sudden release of energy.

It's probably not worthwhile - his assets are probably false too :)
