Answer:

It was closer to a large city with buildings that had been damaged by the earlier earthquake

Explanation:

The city Christchurch, of New Zealand, witnessed several earthquakes between 2010-2011. On 4th September 2010, the city witnessed an earthquake of 7.0-7.1 magnitude. But, the most damaging earthquake in the series was that occurred at 12:51 PM on 22nd February 2011. The magnitude of this earthquake was 6.3. The earthquake was most damaging of all because the earthquake was the shallow one. The earthquake took place four kilometers below the ground in 2011 whereas, in 2010, it was ten kilometers below the ground. Because of this, the earthquake of 2011 was most damaging. The other reason for this damage was that the earthquake of 2010 took place in the farmland, the earthquake of 2011 took place near the city area and was close to the larger buildings.

Why did german generals open a front in the east
Ratling [72]
Quakers settled in Pennsylvania...founder of William Penn William Penn was the absolute proprietor of Pennsylvania (he held the royal charter) and had pronounced religious tolerance for all. Other colonies were often religiously linked and intolerant of religious views outside narrow limits.

He welcomed Catholics and Quakers among others. Because the Colony was established as a refuge for European Quakers. Pennsylvania was a favorable place to settle: climate, land, port and government. Philadelphia was at the time the best developed city in the continent.





Because the Colony was established as a refuge for European Quakers.
You see, William Penn was a friend of king Charles the second and the king did not want to kill William Penn for being a quaker. So he basicly gave him a grant to find land so he would escape persicution. Then have a place for religious freedom.

Evaluate the cultural, social, political, and economic characteristics of the Renaissance that marked the end of the medieval er
Whitepunk [10]
Culturally, the medieval era was dominated by the church which emphasized human beings' lowliness in contrast to the greatness and holiness of God.  The church remained strong in the Renaissance, but humanists of the Renaissance emphasized the God-given capabilities of human beings, created to do great things.  And so, many great things were done by energetic and imaginative human beings of the Renaissance -- in art, architecture, literature, science, etc.

Socially, politically, and economically, medieval life focused on feudalism and agricultural life.  The people lived on lands owned by the great landowners (the nobility), and the political power centered in the hands of those nobles.  Economic value was tied to land ownership and agricultural production.  In the Renaissance, cities rose to prominence.  Banking and trade and budding industries became new ways of generating wealth, social status, and political power.

How does the legislative help democracy ​
Contact [7]
The legislative branch is two houses. The House of Representatives and the Senate.
When we are electing a president, the legislative branch exercises democracy because when the people of a specific state vote for someone, majority whens and the number of the Senators and Representatives that state has counts for a vote for that person who’s campaigning. That is how the legislative branch helps in democracy.
(I’m aslo hoping you have some idea of what the legislative branch is, thats why i didnt explain it like you’re 3, like i usually do to answer questions. Hope this helped).
