Christchurch Earthquakes

 Christchurch Earthquakes

I know that it was earthquakes that happened on the 22nd of February 2011, lots of buildings collapsed and a handful of people died,

I think i will find out how many people died, if anyone survived the broken buildings, and how many buildings broke.

1. Because it happened during the early hours of the morning, and most people were home, asleep.

2. 6659 people got injured in the earthquake

3. Liquefaction is Sand, water, and Mud all mixed together, and breaks up through the ground and brakes many things in it's road, including Roads, and underground pipes that also looks like just ripples of water in a flood once on the ground.

4. 115 people died inside of the CTV building when it collapsed

 5. Big, Large, Massive.

Notes

- For years scientists expected the earthquake, they just didn't know when it would happen

- The breaking of rocks is what causes earthquakes.

- The huge earthquake was a 6.3

- No one knew there was a fault in the port hills

- The port hills fault lifted the ground up 4cm

Reflection;

I am learning about the Christchurch Earthquakes.

This work shows my learning because it's about the Christchurch Earthquakes.

I am wondering if any bodies, dead or alive, flew out of the buildings when they were falling.

I got all of my predictions correct, it is about the Earthquakes in Christchurch on the 22nd of February 2010
