Depends how you define seismic activity.
Yes, the intensity as measured by seismometers would be strongest at the epicenter. This does not mean the damage would be greatest directly over the epicenter, on in the nearest town.

In a seismograph, it would be shown as the greatest damage, and indeed it would be very catastrophic, but the strongest seismic activity would not be on the town in the middle of the epicenter, it would be near there. It's just the way the world is................. crazy!!

tsunamis are large waves caused due to earth quakes on the ocean bed roaring forties are the heavy winds moving at 40 degrees latitude green house effect means the green house gases usually air pollutants causing the radiations reflected back by the earth into the atmosphere back into the earth increasing the temperature

yes, the farther the distance from the epicenter the weaker the shockwaves due to the earth not conducting shockwaves well.

Yes, the resulting waves that extend out will not be as strong,
