Best Answer

By this you could mean 2 things:

  1. How long after the main earthquake do aftershocks occur?

A: This depends on the magnitude of the main quake, and the faultline and how much tension there is between the tectonic plates.

2. For how long after the main earthquake do aftershocks occur?

A: This again depends on the magnitude of the main earthquake and the faultline.
