Following the 6.3 magnitude earthquake in 2011, Christchurch experienced thousands of aftershocks. These aftershocks continued for several years, with some reports estimating over 10,000 aftershocks in total.
The 1868 Hawaii earthquake, which struck the Big Island on April 2, recorded several aftershocks, although the exact number is not definitively documented. Historical accounts indicate that there were at least a few notable aftershocks following the main event. The most significant aftershock occurred on April 14, 1868, but precise details on the total count of aftershocks remain unclear.
The Loma Prieta earthquake, which struck Northern California on October 17, 1989, registered approximately 100 aftershocks within the first week following the main event. Over the following months, the total number of aftershocks reached around 1,000, although most were too small to be felt. The largest aftershock measured 6.0 on the Richter scale and occurred just 11 days after the main earthquake.
it may colapse the support beams that the building have already had weakend by the actuall earthquake, causing them to fall down!
There is for the most part one or more Earthquakes a day in NZ, however most of these are actually felt by anyone, mostly earthquakes here have to be over 3 in the Richter Scale to make much of a rating. For more info on NZ quakes have a look at www.geonet.co.nz
well 2 be fr.fr i think it waz like 10 or 5 or something lik dat but i wanna give a shout out 2 my cuzo royal by da way this is justice
The European Commission reported that Haiti's government estimates the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake killed 200,000 people. On February 5, Haiti's Prime Minister told CNN that 212,000 Haitians had died in the quake. On February the 9th, the Haitian Government again raised the estimate of the total number of deaths to 230,000 (reported by The Associated Press - see link). In addition, more than 250,000 people were injured and 2 million are homeless in the nation of 9 million. Please see the related links and questions for more information.
There are reports from 7,400 - 125,000 buildings and homes damaged or destroyed depending on which news source you look at. Looks like the higher number is closer to the truth and will be while until all the numbers are in.It's impossible to separate the damage of the March 11 magnitude 9.0 earthquake from the tsunami and hundreds of aftershocks that followed so the counts must include the total damage.
The largest earthquake recorded for Japan in 2003 was in Hokkaido on September 26 at about 4:50 AM local time. It registered a magnitude 8.3 and killed one person, in addition to nearly 600 injuries.
The energy released by a 9.0 earthquake is roughly 32 times greater than that released by an 8.0 earthquake. This is because earthquake magnitude is measured on a logarithmic scale; each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and approximately 32 times more energy release.
in total 23,000 people died in this hurrricane a.k.a earthquake.
