Oh, dude, an earthquake happened like just now in geological time, which is like millions of years ago. But if you're talking about the one that made your water bottle wobble on the table, that was probably just a few seconds ago. Time is relative, man.
Not necessarily. Just because an earthquake has not occurred in a region for a long time does not guarantee that one will not happen in the future. It is still important to be prepared for earthquakes regardless of how long it has been since the last one.
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.
The last major earthquake occurred within the last few years, depending on the location. Earthquakes happen frequently worldwide, but significant events are less frequent. It is important to stay informed about seismic activity in your region.
the china earthquake obviously happened in china but it happend in a place called Sichuan. Can anyboy else tell me why did the earthquake happen?
An aftershock is a smaller earthquake that follows the main earthquake, usually occurring in the same area and caused by the shifting of rock underground. Aftershocks can happen within hours, days, or even months after the initial earthquake. These can be as strong as or weaker than the main earthquake.
