Foreshock activity has been detected for about 40 % of all moderate to large earthquakes, and up to 70% for magnitude events >7.0.
In one model of earthquake rupture, the process forms as a cascade of foreshocks, starting with a very small event that triggers a larger one, continuing until the main shock rupture is triggered.

Why does phenomenon occur?
The correct way to ask that would be either:"Why does a phenomenon occur?" or"Why do phenomena occur?"
Where do swamps occur?
They usually occur in desert or places on the equator.

Why do tomb robberies occur?
Tomb robberies occur because the robbers are either greedy or desperate.
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur .?
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
How soon before a major earthquake can foreshocks occur?
Foreshocks can occur days, weeks, or even months before a major earthquake, though they often happen minutes to hours prior. Their unpredictability makes it challenging to use them as reliable indicators of an impending larger quake. Not all major earthquakes are preceded by foreshocks, and when they do occur, not all foreshocks will lead to a larger event.
How long before an earthquake do foreshocks occur?
Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before a larger earthquake, but there is no definitive timeline. Foreshocks are smaller earthquakes that precede a larger mainshock, and their occurrence can vary depending on the specific earthquake event.
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake occur?
due to the build-up of stress in the rocks along a fault line. These small foreshocks are caused by the movement of the Earth's crust as it adjusts to the increasing strain, which can eventually lead to a major earthquake. Monitoring these foreshocks can help seismologists predict when and where a larger earthquake may occur.
What is called the shaking of the ground that proceeds an earthquake?
The shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake is called foreshocks. Foreshocks are smaller seismic events that occur before the main earthquake and can give a warning sign of an impending larger quake.
Do earthquakes have a little shake before the big earthquake?
Yes, earthquakes can have foreshocks, which are smaller earthquakes that occur before the main event. These foreshocks can help seismologists to predict the likelihood and intensity of an upcoming larger earthquake.
Shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake?
The shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake is called a foreshock. Foreshocks occur as a result of the buildup of stress along a fault line before the main earthquake happens. Not all earthquakes have foreshocks, and they can vary in intensity.
What are the small earthquakes that occur before the main earthquake?
Well, from what I understand, there's the main Earth Quake, and then an After Shock, which is a smaller Earth quake usually followed up from the main one. I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I hope it helps!
How many foreshocks where there in Chile earthquake 2010 and when were they?
None
What is the shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake called?
The shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake is called a foreshock. Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before the main earthquake event.
What two measurements are taken during and after an earthquake?
An foreshocks and aftershocks
What are small tremors before a major earhquake?
Small tremors before a major earthquake are referred to as foreshocks. They occur before 70 percent of large seismic events, and to a lesser extent before smaller earthquakes.
