Christchurch earthquake

 Kia ora bloggers today post is about the Christchurch earthquake.

Q1: How have the Christchurch earthquakes affected the city?

The Canterbury earthquakes caused a significant change to the natural environment, including liquefaction, lateral spread near waterways, land level changes, and numerous rockfalls and landslides. Air and water quality were also impacted, with water-based recreational activities halted until November 2011.

Q2: What positives have come out of the Earthquakes:

Earthquakes are very useful to humans because they provide a picture of what's going on underground. This can make oil and gas extraction more efficient and allows scientists to monitor the progress of water during geothermal energy extraction.


Q3: What was the number of people that died during the Christchurch earthquakes:

The earthquake caused widespread damage across Christchurch, killing 185 people in the nation's fifth-deadliest disaster.

 

 Christchurch five years on: have politicians helped or hindered the  earthquake recovery?
