What else can I help you with?
Movements following a major earthquake often produce smaller earthquakes called?
Aftershock
What are minor earthquakes before large earthquakes called?
Minor earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes are typically referred to as foreshocks. These smaller tremors can occur before a main earthquake event and provide a warning sign of potential larger seismic activity.
What is it called When the ground trembles?
When the ground trembles, that is called an earth quake. also a aftershock of an earthquacke
What are people called when they research earthquakes?
They are called seismologist (syhs maul o gist).
What are scientists called when they study earthquakes?
Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists. They analyze and study the behavior, patterns, and effects of earthquakes to better understand seismic activity and improve earthquake prediction and mitigation.
Movements following a major earthquake often produce smaller earthquakes called?
Aftershock
What is the wave called as an aftershock of a hurricane?
Hurricanes do not have aftershocks; earthquakes do. The waves of any earthquake are seismic waves.
What do you call the vibration which occurs after main earthquake?
The earthquakes after a major earthquake in the same area are called aftershocks.
What are earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake shock?
these are calle "aftershocks"
When does an aftershock happen?
In any series of earthquakes in the same area, the one with the largest magnitude is called the mainshock. Anything before this is called a foreshock and anything after is called an aftershock.
What caused a second earthquake to hit Haiti on Jan 20 2010?
There would be a second earhquake after the first, it always do,just like the earthquake in the China in 2008. Actually, it is called an aftershock. If the aftershock was a higher valve then the first quake then the aftershock becomes the earthquake and the earthquake becomes the aftershock. Hope you get this. So to put it in perspective, the main hit is called an earthquake and any following disruptions are called aftershocks and not considered earthquakes. To answer the question: Geophysicists in the US have found that the "aftershocks" produced by earthquakes are triggered by the dynamic seismic waves from the main shock rather the changes in stress in nearby faults brought about by the rearrangement of the earths crust,as previously believed.
What are minor earthquakes before large earthquakes called?
Minor earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes are typically referred to as foreshocks. These smaller tremors can occur before a main earthquake event and provide a warning sign of potential larger seismic activity.
What is something that starts with the letter a that has to do with earthquakes?
Aftershock(s) Aftershocks can be weak or forceful jults AFTER an earthquake occurs.
What is it called When the ground trembles?
When the ground trembles, that is called an earth quake. also a aftershock of an earthquacke
What is the smaller wave after an earthquake called?
Aftershock!
What is earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquakes shock?
The earthquake that follows the major shock is the aftershock. Technically, there can be lots of them,happening hours, day, weeks, even months after the initial shock.
Why do afterschocks occur?
I'm assuming you know how earthquakes occur and all an aftershock is a smaller earthquake after a larger one. If the "aftershock" is larger than the main shock it is reclassified as the main shock and the previous "main shock" becomes a foreshock.
