Aftershocks can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the initial earthquake. They are typically smaller in magnitude than the original earthquake, but can still be significant. Aftershocks may occur on the same fault as the original earthquake, or on a nearby fault that was affected by the initial seismic activity.
