the census
Because it just was and earthquakes can happen anywhere so there Because that's where it happened. If it had hapened in Wellington it would have been called the "Wellington earthquake".
because they were strong
because the earthquake wasn't strong enough for a tsunami to occur :)
Do you know why the Christchurch earthquake such a bad one.Because, so many people have died in this earthquake. Have you ever noticed it. That there's a hundreds of people died and especially our beloved buildings that have been destroyed and we can't go inside because of the damage and it my fall, and we get on trap. That's so sad.So for today and forever I say that the Christchurch earthquake is such a bad one. I hope all of you too.THANK YOU!!!!By: Micah Catampo
The reason that there have been so many aftershocks after the 2010 Christchurch earthquake is because bigger earthquakes have not only stronger aftershocks, but more of them. Aftershocks happen because when an earthquake occurs, the earth's plates hardly ever settle into a stable position straight away. So, the newly moved rock has to be settle.
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.
Because Maoris are chacing a 10c coin
It's a hotel in Christchurch, New Zealand and needs to be deomlished because of the earthquake.
It happened in 1989.
because the earthqauke wasnt out at sea and in that case didnt create any sea floor movement
No the people of Christchurch weren't just a saying that Maori didn't like Lyttelon because they thought there was small earthquakes there but that was legend
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 was caused by the rupture of a previously unknown fault line, known as the Greendale Fault. It was a magnitude 6.3 earthquake that struck close to the city center, resulting in significant damage and loss of life. The earthquake was particularly deadly due to its shallow depth, close proximity to populated areas, and the vulnerability of the older buildings in Christchurch to seismic activity.
