What is the term for smaller movements of the earths crust that follow an earthquake?
Aftershocks.
What are the smaller earthquakes that occur following the main earthquake?
These are known as aftershocks.
What is smaller earthquake that follow a larger earthquake?
An earthquake is the movement of the tectonic plates, the little quake that happens after the main quake is called the aftershock.Aftershocks. If an aftershock is stronger than the original earthquake, it takes its place and trhe last earthquake becomes a pre-shock.
How long after an earthquake is the phenomenon of additional quakes considered an aftershock?
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a larger event (the mainshock) in the same area. If an even larger earthquake occurs, then the original mainshock becomes a foreshock and the bigger event becomes the mainshock.
What is an earthquake after shock?
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a larger earthquake in the same area. They are a result of the earths crust near the fault rupture readjusting as a result of the main earthquake (also known as the "main shock").
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.
The adjustments of materials that follow a major earthquake often generate smaller earthquakes called?
aftershocks. These earthquakes can occur hours to years after the main earthquake and are caused by the movement of rocks along the fault line as the earth's crust adjusts to the changes from the initial quake.
A major earthquake often generate smaller earthquake called?
These smaller earthquakes are called aftershocks. Aftershocks can often be as strong as the earthquake its self and there can be many.
When is the after shock earthquake?
It's a smaller (or sometimes larger) earthquake after the main earthquake
What level earthquake causes a tsunami?
Tsunamis can be triggered by earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher, typically when the earthquake occurs under the ocean floor and displaces a large volume of water. Smaller earthquakes can also generate tsunamis if they trigger a significant underwater landslide.
What are foreshocks and aftershocks?
An aftershock is an earthquake that comes after another, larger earthquake often within a few days.
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.
What is the smaller wave after an earthquake called?
Aftershock!
A combination of wave from a smaller wave?
it creates a earthquake!
What is it called when materials get smaller when cooled?
is it when thet get smaller
What is a smaller earthquake that occurs after a big one?
It is called an aftershock.
What is the term for smaller movements of the earths crust that follow an earthquake?
Aftershocks.
