II. Write TRUE if the statement is correct. Otherwise write FALSE if it is incorrect.

31. I should go to the shore to watch a tsunami.

32. All undersea earthquakes cause tsunami.
33. If I felt a strong earthquake while near the coast, I should wait to hear the rumbling sound before
moving to the high ground.
34. If a small tsunami is coming, I should get out of the water and wait until I hear it is safe to return.
35. If a big tsunami is coming, I should move as far inland as I can or to higher ground.
36. If I am swimming when a small tsunami comes, I could get dragged out to sea by the strong rips and currents.
37. A tsunami is most often caused by undersea earthquakes.
38. When the shaking starts, I should run immediately and leave the room to get out of the building as fast as I could.
39. During an earthquake and I am outside, it is best to take shelter under trees, power lines, posts and
concrete structures.
40. If near the shore and a very strong earthquake is felt, one must move quickly to higher ground even if there is no
immediate information of the possible source and location of the earthquake.
41. During an earthquake, to make it faster to get out of the building, use the elevator.

evacuate by going down the building and finding the designated open space for temporary evacuation area.
44. Ash suspended in air is also dangerous for aircrafts as the abrasive ash can cause the engines to fail if the
suspended ash is encountered by the airplane.
45. Lahar can occur immediately after an eruption or can become long-term problem if there is voluminous pyroclastic
materials erupted.
