after an earthquake the plates are just rearranging themselves into a position that they cant move anymore therefore causing aftershocks.
Aftershocks
These are known as aftershocks.
No not quite aftershocks can even occur for a couple of days after the main earthquake.
Aftershocks are the results of the Pressure Plates being unstable, and are still adjusting or moving. The earthquake from September 4, 2010 in Christchurch will be having aftershocks for about 1 and a half more years.
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").
No. Aftershocks are a phenomenon that occur only with earthquakes.
Aftershocks
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
These are known as aftershocks.
Aftershocks don't occur in the same place since the pressure right there has alreadybeen relieved.
These are known as aftershocks.
Aftershocks occur after an earthquake. Sometimes buildings are already structurally unstable after an earthquake- aftershocks do further damage and even take lives.
Aftershocks can occur after an earthquake and their frequency decreases over time. Most large earthquakes have numerous aftershocks in the days, weeks, and even months following the main event. The number of aftershocks and their intensity typically decreases over time.
because they only happen because they do
Aftershocks can occur immediately after the main earthquake or can be delayed by hours, days, or even weeks. However, most aftershocks typically occur within hours to days after the main event. The frequency and intensity of aftershocks gradually decrease over time.
after shocks don't occur in the same place due to ex tonic faults occuring in the ground
No not quite aftershocks can even occur for a couple of days after the main earthquake.
