Yes. The term is used for the smaller earthquakes that often follow larger ones, these being called aftershocks.
They are called aftershocks.
Most small earthquakes are just background seismicity. There is no way to tell whether a small event will be followed by a larger one. But if there is a larger earthquake afterwards, the first earthquake is called a "foreshock"
The smaller number is a factor of the larger number, and the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
Smaller.
Not necessarily. A small earthquake does not always indicate that a larger earthquake is imminent. Earthquakes are unpredictable, and it is not possible to accurately forecast when or where a larger earthquake will occur based on smaller ones.
I'm assuming you know how earthquakes occur and all an aftershock is a smaller earthquake after a larger one. If the "aftershock" is larger than the main shock it is reclassified as the main shock and the previous "main shock" becomes a foreshock.
Probably because the larger one is trying to eat the smaller one. Or it could just be that the larger one is mad at the smaller one for eating its food. Or it just likes to chase other fish
When the smaller one is a factor of the larger one. (That also means the larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.) The smaller number is the GCF of both.
Divide the larger number by the smaller one. If the answer is an integer, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
