The place directly above the earthquake's starting point is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above where the earthquake originates underground along the fault line.
The location of the latest big earthquake can vary as seismic activity occurs around the world. It's best to check real-time earthquake monitoring websites like the USGS (United States Geological Survey) or EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre) for the most up-to-date information.
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 caused significant damage to landmarks such as the Christchurch Cathedral, the iconic Christchurch Arts Centre, and the ChristChurch Anglican Cathedral. Many heritage buildings in the central business district were also destroyed or badly damaged.
