What are the main reasons of an earthquake?
Earth's crust shift into each other causing an earthquake
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)
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 are the smaller earthquakes that occur following the main earthquake?
These are known as aftershocks.
What do you call the little earthquakes that come before a big earthquake?
Foreshock is what you call one of the little earthquakes that come before the big earthquake or main shock. The main shock may be followed by a little earthquake that's called the aftershock.
What is the main natural disaster that occurs in Asia?
earthquake and related tsunami.
What are the Main features of earthquake?
There are a number of features of an earthquake. The main features include vibration of the earth surface, possible destruction of buildings and property, movement of tectonics under the surface of the earth and so much more.
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 the two main causes of vibration?
noise and frequency are made a vibration
What is the difference between fore shock and after shock?
A foreshock is a smaller earthquake that occurs before a larger mainshock, providing a warning sign of the impending main event. An aftershock, on the other hand, is a smaller earthquake that occurs after a mainshock, as the Earth's crust adjusts to the stress changes caused by the initial seismic event.
What is an intraplate earthquake?
An intraplate earthquake is a seismic event that occurs within the interior of a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries. These earthquakes are less common than those that occur at plate boundaries but can still occur due to various factors such as old fault lines or mantle plumes. The causes of intraplate earthquakes are still not fully understood by scientists.
Can the magnitude of an aftershock be stronger than the magnitude of the main earthquake?
By definitiona an aftershock is always smaller than the larger earthquake that preceeded it. If an earthquake then occurs that is of larger magnitude and related to the prior seismic activity it is redesignated as the mainshock and all pre-recording quakes are re-designated as foreshocks.
What is the climax in the book earthquake terror?
The climax of "Earthquake Terror" by Peg Kehret occurs when the main characters are trapped on an island during a severe earthquake. As they work to survive and make their way to safety, tension and danger are at their peak, leading to a suspenseful and dramatic conclusion.
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
