A Correct answer

Earthquakes are typically followed by aftershocks, which are smaller earthquakes that occur after the main shock as the crust adjusts along the fault. While foreshocks can precede some main shocks and undersea earthquakes may trigger tsunamis, aftershocks are the most consistent and direct accompaniment to any earthquake.
