An earthquake is caused by 'plates' in the ground shifting and moving. and after a major shift there might be a small aftershock witch is when the 'plates' in the ground move slightly as they are going back into place
Some large earthquakes are preceded by foreshocks
Smaller earthquakes that follow on from a large earthquake are known as aftershocks.
Aftershocks typically follow every earthquake, although the quake and aftershocks may be so small that humans do not notice, but these are recorded by sensitive equipment.
Tremors following an earthquake are known as aftershocks.

Small tremors before a major earthquake are referred to as foreshocks. They occur before 70 percent of large seismic events, and to a lesser extent before smaller earthquakes.
They are known as aftershocks.
A small wave, or miniature tsunami, is called a seiche. It can occur in lakes, dams and even pools, and is caused by earthquake tremors.
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
Earthquake tremors.
There are several things that may indicate an upcoming earthquake. Swarms, seismic activity, small tremors are the main indicators.
A seismograph records an earthquake while it is happening, but as of yet there are no machines that can predict earthquakes.
They are called aftershocks, or tremors.
