Earthquake aftershocks
After an earthquake, smaller tremors known as aftershocks are quite common and may continue for several days. These are usually weaker than the main quake. According to experts, aftershocks are actually reassuring in most cases, as they show that the built-up tectonic stress is being released slowly. This reduces the chances of a stronger, more damaging earthquake occurring in the near future.
