Were there any aftershocks from the earthquake in Japan 2011?
On March 11 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9.
Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
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.
How did the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake cause so much damage if it occurred in the middle of the Indian Ocean?
Most of the damage from the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake was from the tsunami it triggered rather than the earthquake itself. When the earthquake occurred it caused the seafloor to shift upwards, displacing an enormous column of water. This caused a wave to race across the ocean that came ashore in many locations as a surge of water with enough force to sweep away entire buildings.
How many aftershocks did the Indian ocean earthquake 2004 have?
There must have been a lot, but it's hard to say. An aftershock can be a small tremble or large enough to cause some huge damage.
What was the cause of the Indian ocean tsunmai?
An earthquake caused an undersea landslide. it also can form by an under water earthquake
What causes the most earthquake's related deaths and injuries?
Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
How will a volcano eruption start another disaster?
A volcano eruption can cause an earthquake and or aftershocks
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.
After an earthquake additional adjustments can occur along the fault These adjustments can cause damaging vibrations called?
aftershocks. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that can happen following the main earthquake as the fault adjusts to the stress changes from the initial seismic event.
Major earthquakes are often followed by somewhat smaller events known as?
aftershocks. These aftershocks occur as the stressed crust readjusts following the main earthquake. They can sometimes be powerful enough to cause further damage to buildings and infrastructure.
What causes most earthquakes related deaths and injuries?
Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
Why do aftershocks present a special danger?
Aftershocks can be dangerous because buildings and structures weakened by the initial earthquake can be further damaged or collapse. People may also be at risk from falling debris or landslides triggered by aftershocks. Additionally, aftershocks can cause panic and hinder rescue and recovery efforts.

Are aftershocks the primary or secondary effects of an earthquake?
The difference between them is that Primary effects happen during the earthquake e.g. Casualties, Damage to parking structures & free ways. But with Secondary effects they happen after an earthquake e.g. Fire, Landslides & Liquefaction
