NZ Quakes

Gabrielle and I have been finding out about past earthquakes that are above six on Richter Scale. Here is some information that we found on THE BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE EVER RECORDED IN NZ:

23 January 1855 in Wairarapa
This was the BIGGEST earthquake ever recorded in NZ, at a magnitude of 8.3 this earthquake was at 9.00pm, and only killed 5-9 people. It was 33 km deep.

  1. fascinating fact-the science of geology can be very helpful and accurate at determining the power and effects of quakes-our house shook a little on 22 nov when the 5.7 quake struck-the tomato sauce bottle fell onto the 'Beano'
