Do after shocks of an earthquake happen within a week?
It depends! Depending upon the built-in energy at the epicenter before and after the earthquake (main shock), and/or the energy (especially stored at some weaker places) generated after the earthquake, aftershocks of an earthquake range in their time.For more details, refer: http://www.answers.com/library/Wikipedia-cid-1349 Aftershock
