aftørres
Aftørres, also known as aftershocks, are seismic events that occur after a larger earthquake, known as the mainshock. They are typically less intense than the mainshock and can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the initial event. Aftershocks are caused by the readjustment of the Earth's crust following the mainshock, which can lead to further slip along the fault line.
The frequency and magnitude of aftershocks decrease over time, following a pattern known as the Omori law.
Aftershocks can be dangerous, as they can cause additional damage to already weakened structures and infrastructure.
The study of aftershocks is important for understanding the behavior of faults and the seismic cycle. They
