Aftershocks can occur immediately after the main earthquake or can be delayed by hours, days, or even weeks. However, most aftershocks typically occur within hours to days after the main event. The frequency and intensity of aftershocks gradually decrease over time.

What causes the aftershock of an earthquake?
Aftershocks are smaller movements of the Earth's crust that occur after an earthquake. This is due to the settling of the disrupted soil along the fault line from the initial quake. The probability of aftershocks is measured using Omori's Law, which is a mathematical equation originally developed by Fusakichi Omori in the late 1800s.
