aftershocks

More information

Depending on its size, the fault that was active during the earthquake ruptured almost along a surface. 32 km2 (= 12 square miles) is a first-order estimate. The rupture zone is likely to be about 10 km (6 mi) long, and aftershocks usually occur during the days and weeks following an earthquake at or near the same fault, at distances of approx. Twice the length of the fault zone. The broad linear arrangement of aftershock centers often includes the main shock rupture area (check the map below to verify). So far, no aftershocks have been recorded. Previous earthquakes in the same area Please wait while searching millions of records, this can take up to 20-30 seconds.
