Why was there no tsunamis in the Christchurch earthquake?

The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 did not generate a tsunami due to its location on a strike-slip fault, where the movement is horizontal rather than vertical. Tsunamis are typically caused by vertical displacement of the seafloor, which can occur in subduction zone earthquakes or underwater landslides.

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.
