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 M w 6.2 earthquake occurred within the West Sakhalin Fault System on August 2 at 13:37 local time. [3] It was the largest recorded earthquake in the island's southern area since a M s 7.5 earthquake in 1971. [4] The mainshock and its aftershocks were caused by predominantly reverse faulting with a minor component of strike-slip.
A 4.0 magnitude aftershock hit 37 miles west New York City in New Jersey around 6 p.m. Friday. According to the United States Geological Survey it was felt as far away as Long Island, where there ...
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 ...
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 ...
The film is based on a novel written by New York City news anchorman Chuck Scarborough. [1] He wrote the book to note that while a quake of the size in his story is extremely unlikely in the Big Apple, it is technically not impossible and preparation should not be completely absent from local disaster plans.
