These are smaller earthquakes that happen after a larger earthquake. We call them after shocks because they always come after and are usually smaller.
Yes, aftershocks can occur after a strong earthquake. These are smaller tremors that can happen in the days, weeks, or even months following the main earthquake. It is important to be prepared for potential aftershocks and take necessary precautions.
aftershocks. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that can happen following the main earthquake as the fault adjusts to the stress changes from the initial seismic event.
The Gansu Earthquake of 1920 had a magnitude of 8.6 and caused severe damage in the Gansu province of China. It resulted in approximately 200,000 to 240,000 fatalities, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history.
True! The small magnitude earthquakes that sometimes precede a major earthquake are known as fore shocks.
It depends! Depending upon the built-in energy at the epicenter before and after the earthquake (main shock), and/or the energy (especially stored at some weaker places) generated after the earthquake, aftershocks of an earthquake range in their time.For more details, refer: http://www.answers.com/library/Wikipedia-cid-1349 Aftershock
there was 15 after shocks
As in most larger earthquakes there will be after shocks. Haiti was no exception.
there were 525 after shocks two weeks after the amin earthquake
800
>200
since they are dangerous like you
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!

after shocks or shock waves
more than 200.
20 seconds and there was 1320 after shocks
