aftershock

/ˈæftɜɹʃɔk/
Meanings (ES + gloss)
réplica
An earthquake that follows in the same vicinity as another, usually larger, earthquake (the "mainshock").
As aftershocks of 3.0 magnitude or higher continued to rock the area, rescuers transported over 50,000 people from the hardest-hit Luding county, according to local media
It was not a peace that brought joy – it was one that created an oppressive tension like the calm between a major earthquake and the aftershock.
