II. Write TRUE OR FALSE. Use CAPITAL LETTERS in answering. NO ERASEURS.

21.The strength of an earthquake is always the same regardless of location.

22.Faults that have not moved in the past 10,000 years are considered inactive.
23.The closer a place is to the epicenter, the weaker the shaking will be.

24.Earthquakes can sometimes cause changes in the Earth's landscape, such as the
formation of new landforms.

25.earthquakes generate tsunamis.
