Most of the time they aren’t, but they can also be damaging or deadly. It’s not as bad as the mainshock(Earthquake).

Elastic Rebound
An Elastic Rebound is what happens to the crustal material on either side of the fault during the terrible event.
Dilatancy

A Dilatancy is an Increase in volume(making the earthquake louder)

3.Influx of Water

When the water has slipped out of the rocks is forced back in because of surrounding pressure.

4.The Earthquake

The earthquake is when everything starts shaking and damages everything.

5.The aftershock

Smaller Earthquakes
