Are aftershocks the primary or secondary effects of an earthquake?

The difference between them is that Primary effects happen during the earthquake e.g. Casualties, Damage to parking structures & free ways. But with Secondary effects they happen after an earthquake e.g. Fire, Landslides & Liquefaction


Which point refers to the epicenter of an earthquake?

The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originated, known as the focus. It is the point where the seismic waves are most intense and where the effects of the earthquake are often most severe.


What are earthquake after earthquake?

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.


Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?

The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is typically used to assess the level of earthquake damage to homes and other buildings. The scale assigns a value based on observed effects and is used to quantify the intensity of shaking at a specific location during an earthquake.


How does distance change earthquake effects?

The closer you are to the earthquake's epicenter, the stronger the shaking and potential damage. As distance increases, the intensity of the shaking decreases. However, other factors like the type of soil and building construction can also influence the effects of an earthquake at a given distance.
