aftershocks

listen to the pronunciation of aftershocks
İngilizce - İngilizce
plural of aftershock
aftershock
An earthquake that follows in the same vicinity as another, usually larger, earthquake (the "main shock")
aftershock
additional tremors that occur after the initial earthquake
aftershock
A "retriggering" of an old aspect or planetary storm by the passage of faster moving planets across sensitive degrees This releases the original energies in a series of smaller steps, similar to the way small earthquakes release the leftover energy after "the Big One" hits This series of contacts allows you to bring important lessons home at a very personal level, spaced out over a long period of time
aftershock
Any earthquake which occurs after a larger earthquake (a mainshock) within one rupture-length of the original fault rupture and before the seismicity rate in that area has returned to the background (pre-mainshock) level is generally considered an aftershock For some earthquakes, a specific "aftershock zone" may be defined, in lieu of the one-rupture-length rule given above
aftershock
Aftershocks are conspicuously present immediately after a large earthquake Several thousand are often recorded in a few weeks, including a few with magnitudes above 5 Since it is possible to deploy special instrument arrays around the epicenter of a large earthquake, the space and time behavior of the aftershocks are a useful diagnostic of the processes which caused the earthquake
aftershock
{i} additional tremor, small earthquake that follows a larger earthquake
aftershock
An earthquake that follows a larger earthquake, typically on the same fault or within a short geographic distance from the larger earthquake's epicenter
aftershock
By extension, any result or consequence following a major event
aftershock
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes which occur after a large earthquake
aftershock
An earthquake which follows a larger earthquake or main shock and originates at or near the focus of the larger earthquake Generally, major earthquakes are followed by a larger number of aftershocks, decreasing in frequency with time
aftershock
An earthquake that follows in the same vicinity as another, usually larger earthquake (the "main shock")
aftershock
An earthquake which follows a larger earthquake or main shock and originates in or near the
aftershock
One of many earthquakes that often occur during the days to months after some larger earthquake (mainshock) has occurred Aftershocks occur in the same general region as the mainshock and are believed to be the result of minor readjustments of stress at places in the fault zone
aftershock
A ground tremor caused by the repositioning of rocks after an earthquake Aftershocks may continue to occur for as long as two years after the initial earthquake The intensity of an earthquake's aftershocks decreases over time
aftershock
An earthquake which follows a larger earthquake or main shock and originates in or near the rupture zone of the larger earthquake Generally, major earthquakes are followed by a larger number of aftershocks, decreasing in frequency with time
aftershock
a tremor (or one of a series of tremors) occurring after the main shock of an earthquake
aftershock
People sometimes refer to the effects of an important event, especially a bad one, as the aftershock. They were already under stress, thanks to the aftershock of last year's drought
