Check your answers.
1. What were some of the strange things happening before the earthquake? Do you think they were warning signs? Why or why not? Before the earthquake, the water in the village wells rose and fell. Deep cracks appeared in their walls. Animals were acting strangely. I think these were warning signs as this doesn't usually happen and it showed something strange was happening below the ground. Sometimes, animals have more sensitive reactions to some coming dangers.
