2011 Christchurch Earthquake
Christchurch, New Zealand.
Couple of months ago
The Christchurch in New Zealand, had an earthquake of a 4.8 magnitude which happened on March 6, 2011 3:43am. This was an aftershock of the last months earthquake, February 22, 2011 which was 6.3.
I think that it was the earthquake that caused more damage to the Christchurch Cathedral. :)
The fault that caused the Christchurch earthquake, specifically the Port Hills Fault, last moved during the significant earthquake that struck on February 22, 2011. This earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 and resulted in widespread damage and loss of life in Christchurch, New Zealand. The fault movement during this event was part of the ongoing tectonic activity in the region.
The earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand on February 22, 2011 lasted for about 10 seconds. It caused significant damage to buildings and infrastructure in the city.
The Christchurch earthquake on 22 February 2011 had a duration of around 10-15 seconds, but its impact was devastating, causing significant damage and loss of life.
The 2011 Christchurch lasted about about 40 Seconds.
The last significant movement along the fault line in Christchurch was the devastating 2011 earthquake. Subsequent smaller aftershocks and movements have been reported since then as the region continues to experience ongoing seismic activity.
The Christchurch earthquake in 2010 was primarily caused by the movement along the previously unknown fault known as the Greendale Fault. This fault ruptured in September 2010, resulting in extensive damage to the city of Christchurch.
Reserve Bank governor Alan Bollard this morning cut the official cash rate to 2.5% from 3%. But the cut, which was widely anticipated following the Christchurch earthquake last month, may be a relatively short-lived one.
