Question

which sentence states a fact?
landslides are caused by many factors, including earthquakes, storms, and volcanic eruptions, and they can occur in any u.s. state.
tornadoes are scarier than other natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions.

Explanation:

A fact is a verifiable statement based on evidence, while an opinion is a subjective judgment. The first sentence describes causes and occurrence of landslides, which can be confirmed with geological data. The second sentence uses "scarier," a subjective term reflecting personal feeling, not a verifiable claim.

Answer:

Landslides are caused by many factors, including earthquakes, storms, and volcanic eruptions, and they can occur in any U.S. state.
