Scientists will continue monitoring the region closely in the days ahead. Each tremor, no matter how small, adds to a growing dataset that helps researchers refine models of earthquake behavior. While the exact timing of future quakes remains impossible to predict, understanding how faults respond to stress improves long-term risk assessments and preparedness strategies.
