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 ...

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake and 7.5 magnitude aftershock flattened buildings, killing and injuring thousands. ‘Like the apocalypse’: Videos show devastation after huge earthquakes in Turkey ...
Aftershocks continued Friday after a strong earthquake that prompted a tsunami warning for parts of the U.S. West Coast Thursday. ... "The USGS estimates that there could be an aftershock of M5 ...
The 7.5-magnitude aftershock that struck Turkey on Monday after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake was unusually strong, according to seismologists. Aftershocks as strong as Turkey's 2nd quake are rare ...
In geology, the elastic-rebound theory is an explanation for how energy is released during an earthquake. As the Earth's crust deforms, the rocks which span the opposing sides of a fault are subjected to shear stress. Slowly they deform, until their internal rigidity is exceeded.
Scientists have yet to pinpoint the fault that ruptured in New Jersey on April 5 and rattled much of the Northeast. Now, U.S. Geological Survey researchers are in the process of installing new ...
This phenomenon was observed around 01:18 on 22 September 2022 when a magnitude 6.8 aftershock of the 2022 Michoacán earthquake struck. Social media users including Webcams de México posted videos of blue lights which seemed to be radiating upward. This was reported in Mexico News Daily and included one of the videos. [22]
