In 2016, a New Zealand earthquake occurred due to a 15 km fault line. It happened 1,010 km away from Auckland and affected Christchurch, changing river shapes. The infrastructure and buildings were damaged, and wildlife was badly affected. The area has since recovered. To prevent future earthquakes, New Zealand has implemented a base isolation system. Hello, everyone. Today, I'm going to tell you about the New Zealand earthquake that which happened in 2016 and You are going to learn when it happened, where it happened, and how it happened. So, let's get started. I think we'll start with how it happened. Okay, the New Zealand earthquake in 2016 was caused by a fault line, a 15 kilometre fault line. You're probably thinking, how is the area affected? Where did it happen? So today, I'm going to tell you all of that. So, we'll start with where it happened. It happened 1,010 kilometres away from Auckland. Now, on to the warning sign. It was an early earthquake warning or an EEW, which is what we will call it for short. The area that was affected was Christchurch. The earthquake even changed some of Canterbury's river shapes. That's crazy. The damage to the infrastructure and buildings was also crazy. Now, people who love animals, I'm sure you're not going to love this news. The wildlife was badly affected from this earthquake and it led to fears for endangered species. Seven years ago, that earthquake happened. So, by now, the area has recovered wildly. You're probably thinking, what has New Zealand done to make sure that this doesn't happen again? They've started to place base isolators around New Zealand or a base isolation system. This is the end of my interpretation of how the New Zealand earthquake has recovered, where it happened and everything else that I've listed. Anyone else might have something different to say, but I know this is what I want to say. Thank you.
