An aftershock is a small earthquake that follows the main earthquake, while a foreshock is a small earthquake that often precedes, leads to, a major earthquake.
An foreshocks and aftershocks
Yes, major foreshocks preceded the earthquake on 11th March 2011 and major aftershocks succeeded the earthquake. There were hundreds of aftershocks of varying intensities, one even as great as 8 on the Richter scale causing a 10 meter tsunami.
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.
Yes, earthquakes can have foreshocks, which are smaller earthquakes that occur before the main event. These foreshocks can help seismologists to predict the likelihood and intensity of an upcoming larger earthquake.
An aftershock is an earthquake that comes after another, larger earthquake often within a few days.
earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake are called "aftershocks" as to small earthquakes before large earthquakes are called "foreshocks".
