it is actually small.
A 5.6 magnitude earthquake is considered moderate in size. It can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure, especially in populated areas. The extent of damage also depends on factors such as the depth of the earthquake, local geology, and building codes.
The proper subject is "earthquake", its whole group is "A big earthquake".
Not necessarily. A small earthquake does not always indicate that a larger earthquake is imminent. Earthquakes are unpredictable, and it is not possible to accurately forecast when or where a larger earthquake will occur based on smaller ones.
Most small earthquakes are just background seismicity. There is no way to tell whether a small event will be followed by a larger one. But if there is a larger earthquake afterwards, the first earthquake is called a "foreshock"
The small waves on a seismogram after an earthquake typically represent aftershocks or smaller tremors following the main earthquake event. These waves can vary in size and frequency but are usually less intense than the initial earthquake.
It depends on how big the earthquake is. A big earthquake will cause more damage to the area.

pretty small actually
Small quakes after a bigger one are commonly referred to as aftershocks.
The earthquake from 4 March 1977: 56 seconds.

earthquake aftershocks
a small earthquake that follows the main earthquake
A small earthquake that follows the main earthquake.
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.
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
