Question

Earthquakes typically have

foreshocks before and after the quake

foreshocks before the quake and aftershocks after the quake

aftershocks before and after the quake

no shocks before the quake but foreshocks and aftershocks after the quake

Answer 1

The best answer is "foreshocks before the quake and aftershocks after the quake".

These terms are used to characterise the events of an earthquake over time. Foreshocks are small shocks that can occur before the main seismic event. Aftershocks, like foreshocks, are smaller seismic events that can occur after the main seismic event.
