The definition of an earthquake is the movement of the outer crust of the earth, so any time it shakes, it is considered an earthquake. You will usually have several waves of movement in one earthquake; that is not considered more than one earthquake. Think of it less like a storm and more like waves in water - an earthquake isn't something like a tornado where you can see more than one at a time. Earthquakes are often caused by the different parts of Earth's crust moving past each other, or one sliding underneath the other one. When this happens, the earth ripples, and each ripple is an earthquake shock.

Can an animal come to your house twice or more on Animal Crossing Wild World for the flea market?

In Wild World, each animal can only come to your house once. All animals may come to your house, but a single animal can only come once. This only applies to one day, because if the flea market happens again, the same animal can come to your house once that day, so it would make a total that an animal could come more than once for two separate flea market days, but only once per flea market day.No they can only come once.
