Earthquakes that immediatly follow a major earthquake shock?

The earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake shock are called aftershocks. Aftershocks occur as the Earth's crust adjusts to the stress changes caused by the initial earthquake. While most aftershocks are smaller in magnitude than the main earthquake, some can still be strong enough to cause damage.


The colors on the map above show the locations of the major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. Which city on the map is most likely to experience a major earthquake?

The city most likely to experience a major earthquake would be located near the boundaries where tectonic plates meet, such as in regions along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where there is high seismic activity due to plate interactions. Cities like Tokyo, Los Angeles, or Istanbul are more prone to major earthquakes due to their proximity to plate boundaries.


What kind of land forms would you be most likely to find in an earthquake zone?

In an earthquake zone, you are likely to find landforms such as fault lines, which are fractures in the Earth's crust where earthquakes occur. Other landforms could include uplifted or subsided areas, landslides, and surface ruptures caused by the shifting of tectonic plates during an earthquake.
