1.) True. Focus is located underground (origin of earthquake), epicenter is the one located on the surface where people live.
2.) True. Actually, earthquakes can also be man-made-like explosions from bombs and whatnot.
3.) True. PHIVOLCS - Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
4.) True. Shake means Earthquake, Drop means Drop of sea level and Roar comes from the approaching tidal wave.
5.) True. This is the most efficient way of waste disposal.
6.) False. Improper waste disposal, cutting of trees and clogging water ways are all examples of human activities that cause floods.
7.) False. It is intensity not magnitude.
8.) False. Coastal erosion is not always normal and should be taken seriously.
9.) False. Land development can be detrimental to wildlife and might affect humans negatively on a large scale.
10.) False. Earthquakes are not always strong, actually there is an earthquake happening while I'm answering this question (because the crust is constantly moving above the mantle), but we don't feel it since it's too weak and subtle for our senses to notice.
