Somewhere around the world there is probably at least one earthquake each day if not more. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) keeps track of earthquakes around the world.
For the latest refer to the list USGS keeps for recent earthquakes world-wide for last 7 days in related links section below. USGS also provides a real-time KML feed.
It is impossible to predict an earthquake of any magnitude.
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
An underwater earthquake is when an earthquake happens under water that makes a big wave happen and kills lots of people.

Earthquakes can happen in the Philippines, Or China We Had An Earthquake In Canada Too...
it takes 12 or 24 hours
By this you could mean 2 things:How long after the main earthquake do aftershocks occur?A: This depends on the magnitude of the main quake, and the faultline and how much tension there is between the tectonic plates.2. For how long after the main earthquake do aftershocks occur?A: This again depends on the magnitude of the main earthquake and the faultline.
