after shocks or shock waves
earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake are called "aftershocks" as to small earthquakes before large earthquakes are called "foreshocks".
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
is a small earthquake that often precedes a major earthquake
Is a small earthquake that often precedes a major earthquake.
An aftershock is a small earthquake that follows the main earthquake, while a foreshock is a small earthquake that often precedes, leads to, a major earthquake.
An earthquake is caused by 'plates' in the ground shifting and moving. and after a major shift there might be a small aftershock witch is when the 'plates' in the ground move slightly as they are going back into place
True! The small magnitude earthquakes that sometimes precede a major earthquake are known as fore shocks.
Its when a minor earthquake is shaking next to a fault. and finally the big one happens
There is a small to moderate risk of a major earthquake in Mexico. Last earthquakes with major loss of live were recorded on 1957 and 1985 with magnitudes of 7.9 and 8.1 on the Richter scale.
A seismograph is located under the ground. When there is an earthquake, the ground shakes, which also shakes the pen on the seismograph, making it move along the paper, drawing lines. To know how strong the earthquake was, scientist can look on the paper. The bigger the lines, the stronger the earthquake was.
yes
Large movements of the ground are preceded by smaller movements which cause small vibrations. Animals in many cases pay more attention to small vibrations of the ground than people do. Of course, we live in a noisy world, in which a passing truck can also make the ground vibrate, so it can be difficult to know when a vibration is meaningful. Animals may become agitated just before an earthquake, but they may also become agitated for many other reasons.
