Is nz 2010 earthquake finished?
No not quite aftershocks can even occur for a couple of days after the main earthquake.
What can cause damage for days or months after a large earthquake?
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!
How long is one year on other planets in comparison to earth?
A year on our planet is 365.25 Earth days. Other planets take more or less time depending on their orbital distances from the Sun. Mercury - 88 Earth days Venus - 225 Earth days Mars - 687 Earth days Jupiter - 11.86 Earth years Saturn - 29.46 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 164.8 Earth years Pluto (now a dwarf planet) - 247.7 Earth years
When did the haiti earthquake happen in 2009?
it was on 21 or 22 February. also there was an earth quake on the 23rd.(2 days before christmas) :(
How many Jupiter days in a earth year?
Jupiter takes 11.86 years to orbit once around the sun, which is 4332 days.
When do the days shorten in the summer?
Once the summer solstice has passed, the days start to shorten.
What is the magnitude length and damage of Chiles earthquake in 1939?
the magnitude is 111.2 the length is 24 days and the damage there was no damage
What can occur hours or days after an earthquake?
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
What are the after shocks of an earthquake?
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that follow the main earthquake. They occur as the Earth's crust adjusts to the initial movement and release of stress. Aftershocks can be felt for days, weeks, or even months after the main earthquake.
Did the Chilean Earthquake knock the Earth off it's axis?
No, the Chilean Earthquake did not knock the Earth off its axis. Earthquakes can cause localized changes in the Earth's rotation, but they do not have the capability to shift the entire axis of the Earth.
What cause the ground to shake some hours or even days after a major earthquake?
i think it is the heat in the ground from the earth cord
How did Chile's days shorten by the earthquake?
The rotation that rotates the earth is called wobble. It's all science did you got to school? That's not too specific. Among the many interesting and horrifying facts about the 8.8 magnitude quake that struck Chile is this; scientists say that because of the Chile earthquake, Earth's axis shifted and the day shortened. Not by much on either count, but just the fact that an earthquake was so powerful to do either is astonishing. Nature truly has power that we cannot fathom. Many scientists agree including a NASA scientist that the Chile earthquake that measured a massive 8.8 likely shifted the Earth on its axis and shortened the day by about 1.26 microseconds. The Earth's axis likely moved about 3 inches. No one would be able to detect these movements on their own, but they likely happened nonetheless.
What is an earthquake's aftershock called?
An earthquake's aftershock is a smaller earthquake that occurs in the same area after the main shock. Aftershocks can happen days, weeks, or even months after the main earthquake, and they are caused by the readjustment of the Earth's crust following the initial seismic event.
What are foreshocks and aftershocks?
An aftershock is an earthquake that comes after another, larger earthquake often within a few days.
Do shadows shorten?
Yes. The length of a shadow is determined by the altitude of the Sun. Therefore shadows shorten then lengthen as each day progresses and, between days, shorten and lengthen as summer comes and passes.
What is the smaller shake called that follows the main earthquake?
The smaller shake that follows the main earthquake is called an aftershock. Aftershocks can occur minutes, hours, or even days after the initial earthquake and are caused by the adjustment of the Earth's crust to the stress changes generated by the main earthquake.
Earthquake after shocks?
Earthquake aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that follow a major earthquake. They occur as the earth's crust adjusts to the stress changes caused by the main earthquake. Aftershocks can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the initial earthquake, gradually decreasing in intensity and frequency.
