Aftershocks

More information

Depending on its size, the fissure that was active during the earthquake ruptured along roughly the surface. 20 km2 (= 8 square miles) as a first-degree estimate. The rupture zone is likely to be about 8 kilometers (5 mi) long, and aftershocks typically occur during the days and weeks following an earthquake at or near the same fault, at distances of approximately. Double the length of the laceration area. The broad linear arrangement of aftershock centers often includes the main shock rupture zone (check the map below to verify). So far, no previous aftershocks have been recorded in the same area since 1900
