The Pacific plate and the indo-australian plates converged during the christchurch eartquake.
There is a good description of what happens when plates converge in the bbc website.
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".
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 was caused by the movement along the conservative boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. The plates move horizontally past each other, causing stress to build up and eventually release in the form of an earthquake.
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
The earthquake in Christchurch in 2010 was caused by the movement of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates along the Anzac Fault. This movement resulted in stress building up over time until it was released in the form of an earthquake, causing significant damage to the city.
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 was caused by movement along a fault line between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. The shallow depth of the earthquake, combined with its location near the city center, led to extensive damage and loss of life. The region had been experiencing increased seismic activity leading up to the major quake.

it happened from the tectonic plates rubbing together
The earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2011 was caused by the collision between the Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate. The movement of these two tectonic plates resulted in a series of seismic events that severely impacted the city.
The 2011 Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand was caused by the Pacific Plate sliding past the Australian Plate along the Alpine Fault. The movement between these two plates created stress that was released in the form of the earthquake.
Umm hello it was everyone EVERYONE OKAY EVERYONE

the movement of the Australian and pacific plates :)

The date of the Christchurch Earthquake was September 4, 2010. The earthquake hit at 4:35am.
