No. There is no way of predicting earthquakes and it is unlikely that a method to do so will be developed in the near future.
One person died of a heart attack in the September 2010 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, but this incident could not be definitively linked to the earthquakes. However, in the Christchurch earthquakes that occurred six months later, in February 2011, the death toll was 185.
Short term predictions of earthquake behaviour or even earthquake predictions in general have not occured yet. Many even question if earthquakes will ever be able to be predicted. Even the earthquakes that have supposedly been predicted correctly have controversy behind the method
The only earthquake that has ever been successfully predicted by foreshocks occurred on October 4, 1981, in the city of Haicheng, China. Scientists observed a series of foreshocks leading up to the main earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.3. This prediction allowed for the evacuation of residents, significantly reducing casualties. The event remains a significant case in the study of earthquake prediction.
The maximum Modified Mercalli Scale value for the Christchrch earthquake has been reported as an intensity 8 event by the US Geological survey although some other sources state that it reached a maximum intensity of 9.
Napo did.
Beacause chrischchurch is dum
The Christchurch earthquake severely damaged the Christchurch Cathedral in 2011, leading to its partial collapse. The structure has since been deemed unsafe and awaits a decision on its future, with ongoing discussions surrounding its restoration or potential demolition.
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".
As of 17th March 2011, 166 people have been officially announced dead by the local authorities.
the census
Approximately 100,000 homes were damaged in the 2010 Christchurch earthquake, with an estimated 10,000 houses severely damaged or destroyed.
70 survivors have been pulled from the rubble.
It was predicted
You never know it may be possible.
