The Christchurch earthquake was a magnitude of 6.3
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).
The Christchurch earthquake happened on February 22, 2011. It was a devastating earthquake that caused significant damage and loss of life in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 resulted in over 6,000 injuries. The earthquake caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure in the city.
Yes, the Christchurch earthquake of 2011 resulted in the loss of 185 lives.
It is possible, as Christchurch is located in a seismically active area. However, predicting when or if another earthquake will occur is challenging. It is important to be prepared by following building codes, securing heavy furniture, and having an emergency plan in place.
The date of the Christchurch Earthquake was September 4, 2010. The earthquake hit at 4:35am.
