Aftershocks

More information

Depending on its size, the fissure that was active during the earthquake ruptured along roughly the surface. 63 km2 (= 24 square miles) as a first-class estimate. The rupture zone is likely to be around 14 kilometers (9 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 (refer to the map below for verification). Aftershocks recorded, most recent first (4 earthquakes so far, updated frequently):
