Why didn't a tsunami occur after the Christchurch earthquake?

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.


When did Japan earthquake happen before or after the tsunami?

The Earthquake occurred before the tsunami as it is what caused the tsunami.


How soon can a tsunami appear after a tsunami?

There are tsunamis and there are tsunami trains. A tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. A new tsunami has to wait for a new earthquake. It is not uncommon for any earthquake to be followed by one or more aftershocks within a matter of hours or days, so a new tsunami can result similarly. Since earthquake behavior is notoriously unpredictable, so is tsunami generation. A single tsunami results in a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours. This is called the tsunami "wave train". There is more information in the related links.


What will happen when both earthquake and tsunami happened?

Well earthquakes create tsunamis so if they were both to happen at once then you would get 2 tsunamis one after the other but if the second one catches up with the first tsunami it will make a massive tsunami/flood hope this helps :)


Did a tsunami hit after Haiti's earthquake?

Yes, there were reports of a small tsunami hitting the coast of Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. However, the damage caused by the tsunami was minimal compared to the devastation from the earthquake.
