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 ...
This earthquake resulted in at least 1 death and left at least 185 injured. [14] Serious damage was caused. There was no tsunami. It is believed that this was an aftershock of the earthquake almost 10 years to the exact date of the 2011 mainshock. [15] 2021-03-20 18:09:45 M w 7.0 M JMA 6.9
The third aftershock cluster was in the Santa Susana Mountains after a M w 5.6 aftershock 11 hours after the mainshock. That event and its aftershocks were distributed along a 10 km (6.2 mi) strike and vertically within the crust, likely associated with faults that did not rupture during the mainshock. [11] [15]
Aftershocks are possible in the following days, months or years after Friday's 4.8 magnitude earthquake, which was felt throughout parts of New York.
Aftershocks continued Friday after a strong earthquake that prompted a tsunami warning for parts of the U.S. West Coast Thursday. "At this time, there have been 59 earthquakes of magnitude three ...
The USGS puts the chances of a New Jersey earthquake measuring 4.8 or higher in the next week at 1 in 200, or 0.5%. The odds go down to 0.3% for a quake 5 or above, 0.03% for 6 or above and 0.003% ...

The USGS recorded 28 aftershocks following Friday’s rare earthquake, with the largest aftershock – clocking in at a 3.8 magnitude – striking Gladstone, New Jersey, 20 minutes from the ...
