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.
Hurricanes do not have aftershocks; earthquakes do. The waves of any earthquake are seismic waves.
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.
Earthquakes in Japan are very common. Like in Minnesota, some earthquakes are so small, they cant feel them! If you mean the chances of a catastrophic earthquake, not very high. The big earthquake that just happened recently was the 4th biggest earthquake in RECORDED JAPAN HISTORY. which should tell you how low the chance is. But if you mean the chances of a small one, still not very high, but higher than a catasrtrophic one. Japan has earthquakes a lot, and i went to Tokyo a few weeks ago, and i was there for about a week. up until the big earthquake (which was 2 days before my birthday), there werent any. But after the big one, the aftershocks were non-stop. the chance of aftershocks(which are smaller earthquakes after a regular one) are very high, especially after a catastrophic one. But dont fret- as long as you get to a safe place- like under a table or stand in a doorway- you should be just fine. Japan is a BEAUTIFUL country, and i would move there in a heartbeat!
After an earthquake, it is important to check for injuries and provide first aid if needed. Secure any immediate hazards like fires or gas leaks, and then assess the structural integrity of buildings before re-entering them. Stay informed about aftershocks and follow emergency instructions from local authorities.

The passing jet's shockwaves almost knocked me down. An earthquake's aftershocks are a type of shockwave. Shockwave? What shockwave? I didn't feel any shockwave.
The 2011 Japan Tsunami did not affect Pakistan in any way.
There wasn't any earthquake in Queens;and in 2011 - at least, none that had any noticeable impact. The natural disaster that struck Queensland in 2011 was widespread floods almost throughout the entire, huge state.
There were a number of earthquakes in Japan in 2012 ranging in magnitudes up to 7.3, but no deaths were reported.
