What was the largest earthquake in new zealand?
In terms of the largest earthquake on the Richter Scale, it was the earthquake in Wairapa on January 23, 1855, which was 8.2 on the Richter Scale. It was the largest earthquake recorded since systematic European colonisation began in 1840. In terms of death and destruction, however, it would be a toss up between the 1931 Hawkes Bay earthquake and the February 22nd 2011 earthquake in Christchurch.
