Why didn't a tsunami occur after the Christchurch earthquake?
A tsunami did occur after the Christchurch earthquake, but it was relatively small and localized. The earthquake did not generate a large enough displacement of water to create a significant tsunami. Additionally, the orientation of the fault line and the shallow depth of the earthquake further limited the potential for a widespread tsunami.
