Foreshocks usually originate at or near the focus of the mainshock and may precede the latter by seconds to weeks. Not all mainshocks have foreshocks. See also aftershock.
  • Small earthquakes preceding the main earthquake in a series of events located in the same area. Not all mainshocks have foreshocks.
