What follows a large earthquake?
Aftershocks and sometimes a tsunami.
Are tsunamis considered aftershocks?
No. An aftershock is a secondary earthquake following a larger one. A tsunami is not an earthquake.
Why is the earthquake happening?
The reason for the earthquake in Japan is two plates of the earth's crust are shifting. After the earthquake, there was a tsunami, or a tidal wave, and also many aftershocks.
Where was the 1755 sunami?
The 1755 tsunami occurred in the Atlantic Ocean, affecting coastal areas of Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. The most devastating impact was in Portugal, particularly in Lisbon, where the tsunami caused widespread destruction and loss of life.
How soon can a tsunami appear after a tsunami?
There are tsunamis and there are tsunami trains. A tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. A new tsunami has to wait for a new earthquake. It is not uncommon for any earthquake to be followed by one or more aftershocks within a matter of hours or days, so a new tsunami can result similarly. Since earthquake behavior is notoriously unpredictable, so is tsunami generation. A single tsunami results in a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours. This is called the tsunami "wave train". There is more information in the related links.
