Aftershocks are earthquakes of smaller magnitude that follow a large quake. They happen because the newly-moved rock has to be settled. Aftershocks are dangerous because they are usually unpredictable, can be of a large magnitude, and can catch people off guard if they are salvaging items from a damaged building.
