why ARE large earthquakes....
ANSWER- Aftershocks happen after a big earthquake because the movement on the fault changed the forces in the earth that act on the fault itself and nearby. Aftershocks go on until the fault recovers, which takes much longer in the middle of a continent.
They are called aftershocks. Some may be called tremors.
There are numerous earthquakes every day along the faultline, however many are weak and cause little or no damage.
What earthquakes feel like will depend on how large the earthquake is. Small earthquakes might just feel like a large vehicle is driving by. Bigger earthquakes feel like floor or ground you are standing on is trembling and shaking.
An aftershock is an earthquake that comes after another, larger earthquake often within a few days.
Large waves produced by earthquakes are known as tsunamis.Define: Tsunami - A very large and destructive wave, generally caused by a tremendous disturbance in the ocean, such as an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption.
A Tsunami is caused by an Earthquake. The ground or area of land shakes which causes a small to large wave in a body of water, which is a Tsunami. An aftershock tends to be a couple of smaller earthquakes, after a large earthquake that you are able to feel. Tons of earthquakes can occur throughout the day, but they have a big enough decimal to actually be able to feel them.
They are called aftershocks. Some may be called tremors.
There are numerous earthquakes every day along the faultline, however many are weak and cause little or no damage.
It is impossible to tell. 2010 was a year of numerous large earthquakes around the globe. However, many smaller earthquakes occurred and many more that were too weak to be measured. It is estimated that millions of earthquakes occur each year.
The earthquake causes a rather large aftershock which affected the whole towns confidence for whether they would live or perish in the horrid times of this disaster.
I think you may be referring to aftershocks. Aftershocks are smaller tremors that can occur at any time for months after an earthquake as the pressure within Earth's crust is gradually released.
Scientists are able to predict large earthquakes to a certain extent. With the use of certain statistical methods, many earthquakes are able to be predicted.
Aftershocks can occur after an earthquake and their frequency decreases over time. Most large earthquakes have numerous aftershocks in the days, weeks, and even months following the main event. The number of aftershocks and their intensity typically decreases over time.

Sometimes, buildings weakened by an earthquake, then it would collapse during a aftershock.
Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
What earthquakes feel like will depend on how large the earthquake is. Small earthquakes might just feel like a large vehicle is driving by. Bigger earthquakes feel like floor or ground you are standing on is trembling and shaking.
