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.
Hoover was a Republican and during the 1920's that meant little government interference with the economy. He was following the common practice of his political party for the time. Also, based on previous panics and recessions, the government didn't have to interfere because the economy naturally saw booms and busts in the economic cycle. It was believed that this economic bust was a normal decline and with reinvestment by the wealthy the economy would bounce back.
People arguing for government interference suggested that the depression was worse and different than other panics experienced before this. No one was reinvesting in the economy because they had lost too much or were not willing to trust the system. It was argued that government spending was needed to get the economy started again and then the debt the government gained from economic investment would be paid back with increased taxes when the economy turned around.
