Christchurch, New Zealand, can experience small earthquakes on a daily basis due to its location near the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. However, the frequency and size of these earthquakes can vary, and it is not accurate to say that the city experiences exactly 2 mini earthquakes every day.

How many times more powerful was the Japan earthquake than the Christchurch earthquake?
The 2010 Christchurch earthquake was of magnitude 7.1. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake was of magnitude 6.3. The 2011 Japan earthquake was of magnitude 9.0. The formula for comparing the energy released by two earthquakes using the moment magnitude scale (which is what I assume those numbers are in, since it's the most common scale for large earthquakes) is D=103*(m1 - m2)/2 So compared to the more recent Christchurch earthquake, we get that the Japan earthquake was about 103*(9.0-6.3)/2 = 103*2.7/2 = 104.05 which we can tell even without actually doing the calculations is a bit over 10,000 times more powerful in terms of total energy released. (this does not, however, mean 10,000 times more damage).
