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 2007 Nevelsk earthquake affected Russia's southern Sakhalin and generated a tsunami along its coast. The M w 6.2 shock occurred at 10 km (6.2 mi) depth some 20 km (12 mi) off the coast of Kholmsk at 13:37 local time on 2 August. It was caused by reverse faulting on a north–south striking and west dipping fault.
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 ...
There have been over 20 aftershocks in the hours following the New Jersey earthquake Friday morning, ... Earthquake and aftershock timeline. Magnitude 1.8: Near Gladstone, NJ at 1:07 a.m. April 6.
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 ...
An aftershock is an earthquake that occurs after a previous earthquake, the mainshock. Rapid changes of stress between rocks, and the stress from the original earthquake are the main causes of these aftershocks, [35] along with the crust around the ruptured fault plane as it adjusts to the effects of the mainshock.

According to the Geological Survey, Friday's 4.8 magnitude earthquake was the strongest to hit New Jersey in nearly 250 years. But Scott Brandenberg, a professor of civil and environmental ...
