New Zealand experiences around 15,000-20,000 earthquakes each year, with only about 200-300 of them being large enough to be felt by people. Most of the earthquakes are small, as New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, making it prone to seismic activity.
What type of volcano is Christchurch?
Christchurch is not located on a volcano; it is situated in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, which is primarily characterized by sedimentary rock and not volcanic activity. However, the broader region of Canterbury has volcanic features, such as the nearby Banks Peninsula, which was formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. The area around Christchurch is more known for its plains and river systems rather than active volcanism.
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).
Was the Christchurch earthquake a deep earthquake or not?
The earthquake in Christchurch, NZ on the 22nd of February, 2011 was located just 4 or 5km underground. To put this in perspective, the quake in September, located near Christchurch was twice the depth, 10km below ground. So although the quake may have been 6.3 on the Richter Scale, it was a lot shallower than the one in September (7.3 on the Richter Scale), did a lot more damage and took many, many more lives. Hope this helps.
