No. An earthquake would never last more than an hour. Most last less than a minute. The 1989 earthquake lasted 15 seconds.

How long did 1989 loma prieta earthquake last?

there were many shakes, lasting up to a minute in some, but they kept on having after shocks, each one was tetonic plates moving against or along each other, so it was kind of jerking along, then starts, then stops then a while later it would start again. the time from the first one to the last was about an hour-ish, could have been less, could have been more. the first one was at 5.04 and 15 seconds pm during the world series, then they kept on having them.


Why the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was important?

It led to geological studies that have proven that the Andreas fault line is certain to cause periodic earthquakes such as the one in San Francisco in 1989. What it did was cause architects and engineers to build buildings that can withstand certain levels of earthquakes. Earth movements in California are common. No major earthquakes have happened in the last few decades. However, as in 1906, the earth has demonstrated that havoc can happen at any time in the future.
