For the same place, yes, it is possible. This does not usually occur though, because most earthquakes will die off after a few minutes followed only by aftershocks.
Once an earthquake occurs it causes and imbalance in the forces along nearby fault planes increasing the likelihood that those will also rupture. In this sense small earthquakes can trigger larger ruptures or vice versa. This is why it is sometimes possible to predict future large rupture from fore-shocks depending on the known recurrence interval and estimated built up stress.

Are earth quakes all the same?
No, earthquakes vary in magnitude, depth, and location. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined by the amount of energy released, with stronger earthquakes causing more damage. The depth of an earthquake is also a factor, as shallow earthquakes tend to cause more destruction than deeper ones. Additionally, the location of an earthquake can impact the level of devastation it causes, with earthquakes occurring near densely populated areas leading to more casualties.
Can sound cause a earthquake?
No, sound itself cannot cause an earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually as a result of tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity. Sound waves are different from seismic waves that cause earthquakes.
When the ground shakes it is called an?
It is called a tremor. Stronger tremors cause earthquakes.
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
What is the plural of the word earthquake?
Earthquakes is the plural form.
What is more destructive a big earthquake or many small earthquakes?
It depends on how big the earthquake is. A big earthquake will cause more damage to the area.
How are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis related?
A volcanic eruption can cause an earthquake and an earthquake underwater can cause a tsunami.
How volcanism causes earthquake?
volcanism can not cause earthquakes
Who is responsible when there is a Tsunami?
An earthquake is responsible 'cause underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
What could cause an earthquake?
Seismic waves cause vibrations which leads to earthquakes
Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
How does earthquake cause landslide?
Earthquakes cause shaking that causes soil, rocks to slide down a mountain side. The longer the earthquake the more likely there will be large landslides. Volcanoes can also cause landslides when they erupt.
Can earthquakes cause volcano erruptions?
Earthquakes can cause volcanos to errupt by the plates moving and crashing into one other which creates an earthquake(when plates collide it causs an earthquake) so the force of the earthquake causes a volcano erruption.
Why Japan have earthquake?
Tectonic plates shift and cause earthquakes.
Is pollution considered an effect of earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes sometimes cause pollution, but pollution is not an effect of an earthquake.
Why the stronger the earthquake the greater the loss of life?
cause earthquakes happen a few seconds up to minutes and the aftermath or aftershocks could collapsed buildings destroy homes create tsunamis or volcanoes cause of the impact of earthquakes
What r the causes of earthquake?
Shifting of tectonic plates cause earthquakes.
