Question

Consider the following statements.
1. During the earthquake, greatest damage is usually closest to epicentre.
2. The strength of the earthquake increases away from the epicentre.
3. Some common earthquake prediction includes studying animal behaviour, fish in the pond get agitated and snakes come to the surface.
Select The Correct Statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 may be the correct answer

Answer 2

1.In most earthquakes, the epicenter is the point where the greatest damage takes place, but the length of the subsurface fault rupture may indeed be a long one, and damage can be spread on the surface across the entire rupture zone

2.Richter magnitude: The Richter magnitude is a measure of the amplitude of ground movement. Because the amplitude recorded on seismograms will decrease with increasing distance from the earthquake the distance must first be determined so that it can be corrected for.3.      When the lithospheric plates move, the surface of the earth vibrates. The vibrations can travel ... Some common earthquake prediction methods include studying animal behaviour, fish in the ponds get agitated, snakes come to the the surface.
