On 22 February 2011, at 12:51 pm (lunchtime), Christchurch was struck by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. The quake was centred 10km south-east of the city at a depth of 5km. 185 people died, 164 people were seriously injured and there was major, widespread damage.
What happened?
On 22 February 2011, at 12:51 pm, Christchurch was struck by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. The quake was centred 10km south-east of the city at a depth of 5km. In the ten minutes after it hit, there were 10 aftershocks of magnitude 4 or more.
Water pipes, roads, bridges, power lines, cell phone towers and ordinary phone lines were broken or damaged.
As had happened after the 4 September 2010 quake, there was a lot of liquefaction. Liquefaction happens when underground water in the soil comes to the surface. Thick muddy slush spreads everywhere, causing buildings and other structures to sink into the ground. Many roads, footpaths, schools and houses were flooded with silt.
There was a lot of confusion and panic, especially in the centre of the city. People were desperately trying to contact their friends and families, and to get back home. The phone lines and roads almost immediately became jammed.
Right after the earthquake, a lot of people left Christchurch. Small towns in the South Island welcomed many people from Christchurch. School kids were allowed to go to the schools at the places they were staying. Many people left for only a short while, but others chose to leave for good.
Injuries and fatalities
185 people died and many thousands were injured as a result of the earthquake. 164 people were seriously injured.
Most of the victims were killed in two large building collapses: 115 people died when the six-storey Canterbury Television (CTV) building in Madras Street collapsed, and 18 people died when the 4-storey Pyne Gould Corporation (PGC) building in Cambridge Terrace collapsed. Rescue crews worked around the clock at both locations to dig out trapped people.
169 people died in the Central City and 16 people died in other parts of Christchurch.
Rescue crews from all over the world came to help. There were crews from Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Australia and other countries.
About the earthquake
The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale. It was felt all over the South Island and in the lower part of the North Island.
The fault that caused the quake cannot be seen from the surface, but it runs about 6 km south of the city centre. Land around the fault, in the Port Hills, in Cashmere and in the seaside suburbs, rose, fell and slid.
Even though the February 2011 earthquake was smaller in magnitude than the September 2010 earthquake, its impact was much greater. The September earthquake happened at night, when most people were at home asleep. This meant that even though some large buildings collapsed, few people were nearby them when they were damaged. The February earthquake was also much more disastrous because there was a very high ‘ground acceleration’. Ground acceleration measures how much and how fast the ground (and things on it like buildings and natural features) moves during an earthquake. Some of the reasons why ground acceleration was so high in the February earthquake were the large amount of energy that the fault line released, the way the land under Christchurch was formed and how near Christchurch was to the fault. Also, the February earthquake was much shallower (closer to the surface) than the September one and it was closer to the city.
Earthquake damage
Many stone and brick buildings in Christchurch were damaged. Up to 100,000 buildings were damaged and about 10,000 buildings needed to be demolished.
Christchurch was divided into four zones after the earthquake. The land in the Green Zone was undamaged and could be built on again. In the Orange Zone more checks were needed before the land could be be built on. The White Zone was the area that had not been checked at all yet. The land in some parts of the city was very unstable: building on it safely will be difficult. These areas are called the Red Zone.
The water and sewage pipes were badly damaged. Many people needed to use portable or chemical toilets, and got their water from tankers for months after the quake.
Authors would use words or context clues to tell you whether its comparing or contrasting.
I'll do one but I typed a lot.
The robin who first appears to Mary and who turns out to be a
close friend of Ben Weatherstaff and Dickon is like a gatekeeper to the
garden. As long as he likes you, it's a pretty sure sign that you're a
good person. Indeed, without this friendly robin, Mary would not have
found the key to the garden: He leads her to it at the end of Chapter 7
by pecking and scratching at a hole where the key is half-buried under
dirt.
Aside from the fact that the robin has a close personal
relationship with the garden, he is also the first character with whom
Mary has a real personal relationship. Oh, she meets Ben Weatherstaff
and Martha first, but the robin is, in a way, more important. When Mary
sees the robin chirping at her as she's skipping through the garden with
her jumprope, her whole personality changes:
Mistress Mary
forgot that she had ever been contrary in her life when he allowed her
to draw closer and closer to him, and bend down and talk and try to make
something like robin sounds. (7.52)
The robin's easy,
unchallenging interest in Mary seems to undo all of her Mistress Mary
stiffness and distance so that she can attempt to communicate with the
robin in his own language. And once Mary shows that she can become real
friends with another creature, the key to the Secret Garden appears to
her, so the robin becomes the first step on Mary's road to a real social
life and an active relationship with the natural world.
Still,
while Mary and Dickon are real friends with the robin, the novel never
forgets that the robin is a bird and not a human. Occasionally, the
narrative slips into the robin's perspective, revealing that he likes
the humans' gardening because "all sorts of delightful things to eat are
turned up with the soil" (9.20). And when he begins nesting at the
start of Chapter 25, the robin reflects on the importance of his Eggs.
But
though the robin isn't human (obviously), his ability to make friends
across species underlines the novel's larger message that humans are as
much a part of the natural world as any other species. We may not be
exactly the same as robins, but we still share a lot in common that can bond us together in common harmony.
