earthquakes can release more energy than an atomic bomb.
true
false

Explanation:

Earthquakes, especially large - magnitude ones, can release an enormous amount of energy. The energy release of a major earthquake (e.g., magnitude 8 or higher) is far greater than the energy released by most atomic bombs. For example, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan (magnitude 9.0) released energy equivalent to about 25,000 times the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Answer:

True
