Aftershocks in Tonga - FAQ
Are there aftershocks in Tonga right now?
No large events have been recorded in Tonga in the last 24 hours, but aftershocks can continue for weeks or months after a major quake. The live feed above updates the moment new activity is detected.
How long do aftershocks last after a big earthquake in Tonga?
Aftershocks are most frequent in the hours and days right after the mainshock and taper off over time, but a large earthquake can produce aftershocks for months. Their number and size follow well-known patterns (Omori and Bath laws), so activity gradually declines even though individual aftershocks can still be strongly felt.
