Earthquakes are very short, almost never longer than 1 minute, usually around 30 seconds.
Weaker aftershocks occur afterward, these are around 10 seconds.
The aftershocks are also very short, usually shorter than the initial earthquake. But in that small amount of time, earthquakes can cause massive damage.
