Answer 1

An earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake is called an aftershock.

Step-by-step explanation:

An earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake is called an aftershock. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same area as the main earthquake. These aftershocks are caused by the adjustment of the Earth's crust after the main earthquake and can continue for days, weeks, or even months.
