What are three of the myths that are commonly believed about earthquakes?

Three common myths about earthquakes include the belief that they only occur along fault lines, that they can be predicted with precision, and that small tremors can prevent larger ones. In reality, earthquakes can happen in unexpected locations, forecasting them accurately remains elusive, and while smaller quakes can relieve stress, they do not guarantee that larger quakes won't occur. Additionally, many people think that buildings designed to withstand earthquakes are entirely safe, but even the best structures can be vulnerable during a severe quake.
