A foreshock is an earthquake that occurs in the same general area as a larger earthquake that follows it, known as the mainshock. Foreshocks happen before the main event and can vary in size and intensity. While not all earthquakes have foreshocks, when they do occur, they can sometimes serve as a warning that a larger seismic event may follow.
