Earthquakes Christchurch 2011 work......

 Hello welcome back to my blog today I am going to talk about my work that I did for hur1. We had to answer some questions on the 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes. Three of the questions was How have the Christchurch earthquakes had an impact on our city, What positive or negative have come from the quakes and What are some changes that citizens have made to prevent damage happening from potential future earthquakes?

Here is my work.


Q1: How have the Christchurch earthquakes had an impact on our city? The Christchurch earthquakes caused a significant change to the natural environment, including liquefaction, lateral spread near waterways, land level changes, and numerous rockfalls and landslides. They also help the cities by knocking the buildings down so people can make the buildings stronger and harder to knock down. 

Q2: What positive or negative have come from the quakes? Earthquakes can cause flooding and grounds

to crack open and the earth will eat you. When a strong earthquake occurs underwater, it changes the level

of the seabed and causes the water level to either rise or fall. They can help homeless people by making

stuff like trees to fall down and they could make them into houses.


Q3: What are some changes that citizens have made to prevent damage happening from potential future

earthquakes? Humans have made stuff bigger and smaller but they are a bit stronger than they used to

be like they put metal bars in the walls to hold them up. They have also reinforced the motor ways so they

won't fall down.
