Sudden and rapid releases of seismic stress can cause large earthquakes. And sometimes, an abrupt movement along a shallow fault can rupture the surface, as happened during the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. This surface rupture extended for seventy-five kilometers (forty-seven miles) and was a first among earthquakes in the Himalaya seismic zone. Robert Yeats, a geologist at Oregon State University, traveled to Pakistan after the Kashmir earthquake and witnessed the damage caused by the rupture firsthand. Yeats said, "In the known historic and recent records, not one of the earthquakes in the Himalaya has ever produced a surface rupture, not in Nepal, or India, or anywhere. This rupture was the first one."
The Kashmir earthquake killed nearly 75,000 people, injured more than 100,000 people, and destroyed 3 million homes. Two towns that straddled the newly exposed fault suffered the most damage: Muzaffarabad and Balakot. In addition, the earthquake generated massive landslides that buried entire towns. Yeats said, "The upper side of the fault had a lot of landslides. Tens of thousands of people died because of landslides."

How long did the Shansi Earthquake last?
If you have any good information about the shansi earthquake, please tell me. it dosent have to be how long it lasted, although i need the answer to that question too.
I assume you are looking for the one EQ that happened 1556, There is really no indication as to how long the earthquake lasted. here is a website with most of the info on that and many other earthquakes that went down in history http://across.co.nz/WorldsWorstDisasters.html This earthquake is said to be the deadliest earthquake on record. here is an article that is rather informative from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaanxi_Earthquake
