What caused the ground the shake so strongly and how is shaking recorded?
The Liquefaction dryed up and turned to clay
What caused the ground to shake so strongly in the christchurch earthquake?
seismic waves Seismic waves are energy that travel through the earth's layers, and are caused by the release of energy from the earthquake. This release of energy causes the crust to move, rip, and tear causing a lot of damage if close to the surface.

What caused the ground to shake so strongly and how is shaking recorded in christchurch?
Ground shaking is caused by an earthquake which is two tectonic plates that rub against eachother or overlap The magnitude of most earthquakes is measured on a ricture scale the magnitude is calculated by the ampline.
Why is a earthquake called a earthquake?
An earthquake is called so because it describes the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. The term "earthquake" combines "earth," referring to the ground, and "quake," which means to shake or tremble.
What caused the ground to shake so strongly in the Christchurch earthquake 2011?
The Christchurch earthquake of February 22, 2011, was caused by a magnitude 6.3 quake that struck near Lyttelton, approximately 10 kilometers from the city center. The earthquake occurred along the previously unknown Greendale Fault, resulting from tectonic activity in the region where the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates interact. This sudden release of accumulated stress in the Earth's crust generated intense shaking, leading to widespread damage and significant loss of life in Christchurch. The shallow depth of the quake, at about 5 kilometers, contributed to the severity of the ground shaking experienced in the city.
Why doesn't a ball bounce as high in the winter as it does in the summer?
Because your mama so fat she make the ground shake! JK! The air pressure in the winter is less so that is why.
What caused the ground to shakes so strongly and how is shaking recorded?
The ground shaking is caused by an earthquake in which two tectonic plates rub against each other or overlap. This happens mainly on fault lines (where two tectonic plates shift). The ancient Chinese used a system in which a ball would be in a carved Dragons mouth and depending on how big the earthquake was (how much shaking and destruction) the ball would fall into certain cups. Now we use seismographs.
Does tobacco make you shake and if so why?
Tobacco is a stimulant and so can make you shake.
Do you have to shake the shake weight?
No, it is electronic so the shake weight shakes itself. You just have to stand there.
Why is the world trade center site called Ground Zero?
When the twin towers stood up straight, They were 110 floors high, but when they were attacked in 9/11, they fell to the ground which caused them to be nothing so they are called ground zero because of the destruction caused by the group Al queda
Why does your car shake when you hit the brake?
That usually happens when the front brake rotors are out of round. It is a common problem, and they can either be replaced or re-ground so that they are true again.
