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.

Is it true or false that the closer an earthquake the greater the time between the arrival of P waves and the arrival of S waves?

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.


True or false geologists can predict accurately where and when an earthquake will strike?

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.


The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the S wave?

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 end at an earthquake's center.?

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.


Major earthquake are sometime preceded by smaller earthquakes - true or false?

True! The small magnitude earthquakes that sometimes precede a major earthquake are known as fore shocks.

True or false the vibration caused by an earthquake are rated on the Richter scale?

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.
