The Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 had massive consequences for the city.

The main aim of scientists is to study them so, we have more knowledge on what the earthquakes. Will do or be like in the future.

The topic sentence:
There were two main earthquakes.
The supporting evidence:

The thing cased to 2 Christchurch eaThe first, in September 2010, registered 7.1 on the Richter scale and was centred close to Darfield.

This was caused by movement along fault lines west of the city beneath the Canterbury Plains. Geologists were able to directly measure the movement of the longest fault (the Greendale Fault) because it created a deep scar along the ground.

The earthquakes was along the westcity lines of the city Canterbury Plains.

Liquefaction is a something when the strength and power of dirt is reduced a earthquake or other rapid movement.

The richter scale in use to measure the strength of an earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
A segment of something, but to cause liquation, the water segment in the earth would be broken to cause liquation, the water would come up through the cracks.

The second earthquake was worse. Even even thought the3 richter scale was lower. It was wouse because: It was devastating. One hundred and eighty-five people died, mostly when multi-storied buildings collapsed. Once again, liquefaction caused extensive damage.

The diagrams on slide 5 are show us what the trampoline effect is.

The 3  factors caused the intensity of the earthquakes are :

1. fault lines where very solid
2. this earthquake's rupture was also thought to be faster than most earthquakes of this magnitude.
3. Waves of energy combined
