No. Most earthquakes last just a few minutes. It is rare for an earthquake to last more than a minute. The very strongest and longest-lived earthquakes may last for up to 5 minutes.

Do moonquakes last longer or earthquakes?

Although quakes on the moon are much weaker (and rarer) than those on Earth, they can last for much longer. We live in far damper environment than is on the moon and the seismic vibrations of our earthquakes will eventually be calmed by the moisture in the atmosphere. While an earthquake typically lasts for just a few seconds (10-30 for most moderate earthquakes), moonquakes can last up to an hour.
