An earthquake is caused by 'plates' in the ground shifting and moving. and after a major shift there might be a small aftershock witch is when the 'plates' in the ground move slightly as they are going back into place
What follows a large earthquake?
After a large earthquake, aftershocks may occur, which are smaller earthquakes that follow the main shock. There may also be landslides, liquefaction of the soil, and tsunamis if the quake occurs under the ocean. The impact may include structural damage to buildings, roads, and infrastructure, as well as potential disruption to utilities like electricity and water supply.
What is the name of one of many earthquakes that happen during the days or month after a large earthquake?
Aftershocks
How many aftershocks have there been since the Canterbury earthquake 2010?
Following the Canterbury earthquake in 2010, there were thousands of aftershocks recorded in the region. The number of aftershocks gradually decreased over time, but the exact count is difficult to pinpoint due to the large number of seismic events that occurred in the aftermath of the main earthquake.
How often do earthquakes have aftershocks?
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.
What are foreshocks and aftershocks?
An aftershock is an earthquake that comes after another, larger earthquake often within a few days.
Which of the following can cause damage days or month after a large earthquake?
Aftershocks, landslides, liquefaction, and tsunamis can all cause damage in the days or months following a large earthquake. Buildings weakened by the initial earthquake may collapse due to aftershocks, while unstable terrain can lead to landslides. Liquefaction can cause the ground to become soft and unstable, and tsunamis can result from undersea earthquakes, posing a threat to coastal areas even after the initial seismic event.
What is the another word for small tremor that commonly precedes a large earthquake?
Are you thinking of aftershocks? If that's not the word you are looking for, then I am not sure, sorry :(
What are smaller earthquakes called that immediately follow a major earthquake?
earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake are called "aftershocks" as to small earthquakes before large earthquakes are called "foreshocks".
How big is a 6.0 earthquake?
A 6.0 earthquake is considered strong and can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure. It may be felt over a large area but typically causes moderate damage, depending on the depth of the quake and the proximity to populated areas.
