What else can I help you with?
Is nz 2010 earthquake finished?
No not quite aftershocks can even occur for a couple of days after the main earthquake.
How can you tell an earthquake is gonna happen?
No, they can't tell that it is a foreshock until a larger earthquake happens. (The largest main earthquake is called the mainshock)
What are the smaller earthquakes that occur following the main earthquake?
These are known as aftershocks.
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 do you call the vibration which occurs after main earthquake?
The earthquakes after a major earthquake in the same area are called aftershocks.
What are the four main reasons for a tsumani?
comet strike ,earthquake, landslide on land or sea massive sea floor rise or subside
What is anthropogenic activities on lands?
mining is one of the main reasons for the formation of an earthquake.. and it has the most effect on the surface of the earth.. hope this was enough.. :)
aftershock?
a small earthquake that follows the main earthquake
After shock?
A small earthquake that follows the main earthquake.
When is the after shock earthquake?
It's a smaller (or sometimes larger) earthquake after the main earthquake
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.
What are some of the main reasons as to why bridges collapse?
There are a huge variety of reasons why bridges collapse, it is dependent on the bridge type, construction material and location. Some of the major reasons are; earthquake, boat impact, flooding, construction accidents, manufacturing defect, design faults or lack of maintenance.
What are some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was so severe?
Some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was severe could include the earthquake's magnitude and depth, the proximity of populated areas to the epicenter, the quality of building construction in the region, and the local geological conditions that amplify seismic waves.
What are the main causes of tsunamis?
Tsunamis occur after an earthquake. Earthquakes that occur in the middle of the ocean can force a tsunami to make landfall.
Where are main spots of earthquakes?
The main spot, or epicenter is the center of the earthquake.
What is an after shock?
An aftershock is a smaller earthquake that follows the main earthquake, usually occurring in the same area and caused by the shifting of rock underground. Aftershocks can happen within hours, days, or even months after the initial earthquake. These can be as strong as or weaker than the main earthquake.
What are earthquake after earthquake?
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
