Turkey And Syria Devastated After Deadly Earthquakes | Turkey Earthquake LIVE | Earthquake In Turkey
According to reports, a new earthquake - a major aftershock - has struck South Turkey. The tremors measured at 7.8 magnitude on the richter scale deal a shocking blow after hundreds were killed in a powerful earthquake of the same magnitude in southern Turkey and northern Syria early Monday.
WHAT IS AN AFTERSHOCK?
Seismic waves are what create earthquakes, which are sudden episodes of the ground trembling (which result from the energy released by the breaking and slippage of one set of rocks against another). The phrase “aftershock" refers to the shaking that occurs after an earthquake.
Although aftershocks are indeed earthquakes, it is more accurate to refer to them as the smaller earthquakes or shocks that follow the primary one (that is, the largest earthquake in a sequence of earthquakes), a report by Britannica states.
