Kaikoura Earthquake 2016


~Natural Disasters~

In New Zealand, we've had a LOT of natural disasters, but the most recent disaster was the Kaikoura earthquake in 2016 on the 14th of November. It was around a magnitude 7.8 earthquake.

There was a lot of damage done, and the earthquake spread to about 15 kilometres down from the earth. There were only 2 deaths during the earthquake in Kaikoura.

A tsunami followed the earthquake and had a peak height of approximately 7 metres.
