   An aftershock is a smaller earthquake or tremor that follows the main earthquake. It usually occurs in the same area that has been stressed by the main shock.

1. Aftershock

   An aftershock is a smaller earthquake that occurs after a previous large earthquake, in the same area of the main shock. If an aftershock is larger than the main shock, the aftershock is redesignated as the main shock and the original main shock is redesignated as a foreshock. Aftershocks are formed as the crust around the displaced fault plane adjusts to the effects of the main shock.
