On Friday an Earthquake occured in New Zealand. Read the following article and reply to the questions I have listed.
New Zealand Earthquake
1. Where in New Zealand did this earthquake occur?
2. What was the magnitude of this earthquake?
3. What prior quake did they compare this one to? Why was the damage less in the New Zealand quake?
4. What happens to the tectonic plates in New Zealand?
5. When was the last major quake in New Zealand?

the earth quake hit on new zealands south island early saturday morning. its magnetude was from 5.3 to 3.9. this quake compared to South Island's Fiordland and this quake did not cause as much damage because this quake had less magnitude. the plates rubbed togather under new zealand causeing it to shake.more than 14,000 hit a year but usually only 150 are felt by residents. the last major quake was july 16 2009.
1:South Islands
2:7.1 Magnitude Earthquake
3:Haiti's Earthquake, the damage was less due to the structures being more well built.
4:Two of them collide causing many earthquakes
5:July 16 2009
6:About 150,000
1. The New Zealand earthquake occurred 19 miles west of the city of Christchurch (New Zealand's South Island)
2. It was a powerful earthquake
3. It was compared to Haiti. The damage was less in New Zealand's quake because the structures are well built.
4. Two tectonic plates collide.
5. The last major quake in New Zealand was on July 16, 2009.
6. The country has more than 14,000 earthquakes each year.
1.This eathquake occured on South Island
2.It's magnetude was 7.0
3.This quake was compared to the Haiti's earthquake the earthquake in New Zeland was not as bad because the the structures in New Zeland was built well.
4. Two tectonic plates collide.
5.10,000 to 15,000 earthquakes a year.
6.July 16th 2009
I think it would stink to have an earthquake just like it would be to have hurricane Katrina. I think both natural disasters would stink.
1 The New Zealand earthquake occurred 19 miles west of the city of Christchurch
2 7.0
3 the earthquake was compared to Haiti. The damage was less in New Zealand's quake cause the structures are better built in new zeland than it haiti.
4 Two tectonic plates collide, which are located under new zeland
5 The last major earth quake in New Zealand was the one on July 16, 2009.
6 The country has more than 14,000 earthquakes each year! but many are not strong enough for people to feel.
1. South Islands
2. 7.1 magnitude earthquake
3. It was compared to Haiti. The damage was less due to the structers being more well built.
4. Two tectonic plates collide.
5. The last major earth quake in New Zealand was the one on July 16, 2009.
6. More than 14,000 earthquakes each year.
1.) The earthquake accoured 19 miles west of the city of christ church
2.)the earthquakes magnetude was 7.0
3.) they compared the earthquake to haitis. Haiti's was worse because new zelands buildings have more structure so they didnt do as much damage as haitis buildings did.
4.)the plates hit and rubbed together cause new zeland to have an earthquake.
5.)the magnetude waas 7.8 on the last earthquake and was July 16th 2009.
6.)14,000 earthquakes but residents only felt 150 and 10 only caused real damage.
1:South Island
2:7.1 magnitude
3:Haiti's earthquake was stronger becase the building werent as well built.
4: They bump together casing earthquakes
5:July 16 2009
6:14,000
1;The earthquake hit NEw Zealand's south island early on saturday morning.
2The magnitude of the eathquake 7.1
3They compared this earthquake to Haiti. The damage was less because the strucktures were better built.
4 they collided ...
last week, an earthquake hit New Zealand and its Southern Islands, where two very, very active tectonic plates lay, occasionally sliding against each other. 14000 times a year actually. Though there are many every week, only 150 are felt by the people, and only 10 do serious damage. The last earthquake of extremely dangerous magnitude was July 16, 2009, a 7.8
this earthquake that occurred last week happened at 4:35...A.M.! It was also a 7.1. Imagine getting shook out of bed at 4:35. The media and scientists compared this earth quake to Haitis, though New Zealands buildings are more durable.
1. New Zealand's South Islands
2. The magnitude of the earthquakewas 7.1with raging aftershocks with a magnitude of 3.9-5.3
3.They compared it to the Haiti quake and the New Zealand quake was less damaged because the homes were more derable
4.The tectonic plates collided.
5.Teh last eartghquake was on July 16,2009
6.14,000 earthquakes a year,but only 150 are felt by the residents
1.New Zealand's South Island
2. 7.1
3. They compared the earthquake to the earthquake in Haiti. There was less damage because there was less magnitude
4. New Zealand sits above a place where two tectonic plates collide.
5. New Zealand's last major earth quake was July 16,2009. It was a 7.8!
6. 14,000 earthquakes
1.South Islands
2.The magnetude was 7.1
3. Haiti's, The damage was less because the structure was bulit well.
4.Two of them collide causing many earthquakes.
5.The last major quake in New Zealand was on July 16, 2009.
6.10,000 to 15,000 a year.
1( South Islands Early Saturday Morning
2( The Magnitude Was 7.1
3( They Compared It To Haiti's Earthquake, the damage was less due to the structures being bulit better.
4( 2 of the collided causing many earthquakes.
5( Julyy 16, 2009
6( About 150,000
1.new zealands south island
2.it was magnetude from 5.3 to 3.9
3.it was like Hatit's earthquake but less damage
4.two of them collide causing a lot of earthquakes
5.july 16 2009
6.about 150,000
1. South Island
2. 7.1
3. The Quake in Haiti
because the buildings were more stable in New Zealand then
Haiti
4. they colllide
5. July 6, 2009
6. 14,000
7.1 is the power of the earth quak and it it the south islands. the megnatude was 5.3. compared to haiti it was less damage. both colided cousing earthquakes july 19 2009 150 thousand each year
Lazy people could just copy off the posts, then again would you trust that if they read it wrong? Also Im happy for them that it wasn't as bad as Haiti's, but it was still bad, which is not good.
1. The earthquake occured in New Zealand's south island.
2. The magnitude was from 5.3 - 3.9
3. They compared this earthquake to Haiti's. The damage was less because the structures are well built.
4. The tectonic plates in New Zealand collide.
5. New Zealand's last major earthquake was on July 16, 2009
6. 14,000 earthquakes happen a year, but only 150 are felt and less than 10 do damage.
My mistake -- the magnitude was 7.1
1: It occured on New Zelands South Islands.
2: The magnitude was 7.1
3: It was compared to Haiti
4: 2 plates collide and make earthquakes.
5: July 16, 2009
6: A bit over 14000 a year!!
1. South Islands
2.7.1 magnititude eathquake
3.Haiti's Earthquake: The damage was less because the buildings were built better.
4.Two tectonic plates collided
5. The last majior earthquake was July 16,2009
6. New Zealand has more then 14,000 earthquakes each year.

...5. July 16th 2009
6. About 150,000
i have never bloged before bu i like it and i think that it is fun and that it could be used for benifichal ways
