What else can I help you with?
What are major earthquakes followed by?
Big aftershocks.
What are the smaller earthquakes that occur following the main earthquake?
These are known as aftershocks.
What do you call the vibration which occurs after main earthquake?
The earthquakes after a major earthquake in the same area are called aftershocks.
How many earthquakes will happen?
That's impossible to answer with any sort of accuracy. Most earthquakes have one major event and numerous aftershocks.
How do you keep people safe when earthquakes occur?
A strong earthquake may be followed by weaker, but still potentially dangerous earthquakes called aftershocks. Aftershocks may be potentially more dangerous than other earthquakes of the same intensity because some buildings may have been weakened during the main shock.
Are there going to be aftershocks of the tornado?
Tornadoes don't have aftershocks, earthquakes do.
Do hurricanes have aftershocks?
No. Aftershocks are a phenomenon that occur only with earthquakes.
Are smaller earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake known as aftershocks?
Yes the smaller earthquakes that immediately follow major earthquakes are known as aftershocks.
Do tsunami s have aftershocks?
No, tsunamis do not have aftershocks. Aftershocks are typically associated with earthquakes and are smaller earthquakes that follow the main event. Tsunamis are large ocean waves usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
What are minor earthquakes before large earthquakes called?
Minor earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes are typically referred to as foreshocks. These smaller tremors can occur before a main earthquake event and provide a warning sign of potential larger seismic activity.
What are major earthquakes followed by?
Big aftershocks.
Do tornadoes have aftershocks?
No, you're thinking of earthquakes.
How often do earthquakes have aftershocks?
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.
Weaker earthquakes that follow a strong earthquake are called?
Aftershocks. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur in the same area as the initial strong earthquake. They can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the main event.
What are smaller earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake shock?
The smaller earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake shock are called aftershocks. Aftershocks occur as the Earth's crust adjusts in response to the initial earthquake. These aftershocks can be nearly as powerful as the main quake.
What word means the shakes that come after the earthquakes?
Aftershocks
Is aftershocks one word?
Yes. The term is used for the smaller earthquakes that often follow larger ones, these being called aftershocks.
