As of now, there are no specific earthquake predictions for Christchurch, New Zealand. Earthquake forecasting is inherently uncertain, and while scientists can identify areas at higher risk based on historical data and geological studies, they cannot predict exact times or locations of future earthquakes. The region remains seismically active, so residents are encouraged to stay prepared and informed about emergency procedures.

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.

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).
Why did so many people die in the February 2011 New Zealand earthquake?

Does Auckland new Zealand have earthquakes?
All of New Zealand has earthquakes. Have a look for a map of NZ earthquakes 1990 - 99 on the gns.cri.nz website. Shallow earthquakes are spread indifferently throughout NZ. And these are the ones of most importance to buildings etc. Deep earthquakes have a different distribution, and are more closely associated with the descending Pacific Plate. The shallow earthquakes reflect the strains generated by the plate movement and the subsequent redistribution of strains.
