Question

The next tremor to be felt by Floridians also centered outside the state. It was the famous Charleston, South Carolina, shock in August 1886. The shock was felt throughout northern Florida, ringing church bells at St. Augustine and severely jolting other towns along that section of Florida's east coast. Jacksonville residents felt many of the strong aftershocks that occurred in September, October, and November 1886. Which idea can be inferred from the Charleston earthquake? (1 point)

Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The response options are:

Aftershocks are sometimes more destructive than the original earthquake.

Most authorities do not believe the reports of multiple aftershocks in Jacksonville.

Strong earthquakes can cause aftershocks that may continue to happen for years.

The bigger the earthquake, the more likely there will be multiple aftershocks

Answer:

The bigger the earthquake, the more likely there will be multiple aftershocks

Explanation:

The text shown above reports the incidence of aftershocks after the florida was hit by a very strong earthquake. In fact, it is scientifically proven that secondary tremors are common to be felt after strong earthquakes and the text above, where florida residents affirm the incidence of these tremors, only reinforces this idea, in addition to being an evidence of this phenomenon.
