How many aftershocks were there following the major Haitian earthquake of January 2010 and what was their magnitude?
The US Geological survey report that (as of the 5th of February, 2010) there have been 59 aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 or greater. Sixteen of which had magnitudes of 5.0 or above. The two largest aftershocks had a magnitude of 6.0 and 5.9. The magnitude 6.0 aftershock occurred 7 minutes after the main earthquake on the 12th of January and the magnitude 5.9 aftershock occurred at 11:03 GMT on the 20th of January.

How many aftershocks have there been since the Canterbury earthquake 2010?
Following the Canterbury earthquake in 2010, there were thousands of aftershocks recorded in the region. The number of aftershocks gradually decreased over time, but the exact count is difficult to pinpoint due to the large number of seismic events that occurred in the aftermath of the main earthquake.
