A new earthquake of magnitude 4.9 shakes Venezuela again: Is it normal for tremors to continue after a major earthquake?

Just when it seemed that seismic activity was finally beginning to decrease, a new earthquake of magnitude 4.9 was felt again in Venezuela , just days after the strong earthquakes that impacted several regions of the country.

The movement generated concern among thousands of people who remain attentive to any new tremors.

Although this new event was considerably smaller than the main earthquakes , specialists explain that this type of movement is part of a natural process known as an aftershock sequence , which can last for days, weeks, and even months, depending on the characteristics of the initial earthquake.

Where did the new earthquake occur?

According to reports released by seismic monitoring agencies, the new tremor reached a magnitude of 4.9 and was felt by residents of several areas of the country, especially in regions near the area where the main earthquakes of June 24 occurred.

Many people shared on social media that they felt a brief but clearly perceptible jolt , which increased concern among those who remain in affected homes or participate in recovery efforts.
