Doublet Earthquake - Ang doublet earthquake ay tumutukoy sa dalawang malalakas na lindol na halos magkapareho ang lakas at naganap nang magkalapit sa oras at lugar โ maaaring sa pagitan lang ng ilang oras, araw, o linggo. Minsan akala ng iba iisang lindol lang o aftershock pero kapag sinuri ng mga seismologist, lumalabas na dalawang magkahiwalay na malalakas na pagyanig ito.
