Will medium sized earthquakes prevent larger earthquakes in the future?

In some areas, this is true. Earthquakes are often the result of unreleased, pent-up stress. If this stress is not released, there is a stronger chance of a more devastating earthquake occurring.

Earthquakes are caused due to disturbance in the movement of plates, which again can be caused due to various reasons like under crust waves or cracks in the plates.
