  2. Aftershock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftershock

    In seismology, an aftershock is a smaller earthquake that follows a larger earthquake, in the same area of the main shock, caused as the displaced crust adjusts to the effects of the main shock. Large earthquakes can have hundreds to thousands of instrumentally detectable aftershocks, which steadily decrease in magnitude and frequency according ...

  4. Foreshock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreshock

    Foreshock activity has been detected for about 40% of all moderate to large earthquakes, [2] and about 70% for events of M>7.0. [3] They occur from a matter of minutes to days or even longer before the main shock; for example, the 2002 Sumatra earthquake is regarded as a foreshock of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake with a delay of more than two years between the two events.

    The area had not seen a large seismic event since developments in Earth observation satellites allowed scientists to more precisely study earthquakes. [2] Observations made using Interferometric synthetic aperture radar imply that different faults were ruptured by the mainshock and the largest aftershock, each leading to different surface deformations.
