There would be a second earhquake after the first, it always do,just like the earthquake in the China in 2008.

Actually, it is called an aftershock. If the aftershock was a higher valve then the first

quake then the aftershock becomes the earthquake and the earthquake becomes the aftershock. Hope you get this.

So to put it in perspective, the main hit is called an earthquake and any following

disruptions are called aftershocks and not considered earthquakes.

To answer the question:

Geophysicists in the US have found that the "aftershocks" produced by earthquakes are triggered by the dynamic seismic waves from the main shock rather the changes in stress in nearby faults brought about by the rearrangement of the earths crust,as

previously believed.
