Question

Stronger earthquakes closer to the surface and gas explosions

Answer 1

Answer:

Aftershocks are sometimes just as hazardous as the main quake itself. In fact, aftershocks may be so strong that they're stronger than the main quake. ... While foreshocks occur around the same time of the main quake, aftershocks may not occur until days or weeks later! The point at the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake. At the epicenter, the strongest shaking occurs during an earthquake.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night, and stay safe!
