Earthquake HIC v LIC casestudies
The Comparison between HIC and LIC earthquake consequences reveals stark differences in impact and recovery between Christchurch (2011) and Haiti (2010). Both earthquakes caused significant damage, but Haiti suffered far greater casualties and faced more challenging recovery due to limited resources and infrastructure.

The Haiti earthquake 2010 primary and secondary effects showcase the devastating impact on a less developed nation. The 7.0 magnitude earthquake occurred on a destructive plate margin between the Caribbean and North American plates.
Primary Effects:
Definition: Destructive plate margin - Where tectonic plates move towards each other, causing one to sink beneath the other
Secondary Effects:
Short-term Response:
Quote: "One year after the earthquake, over 1 million people still lived in temporary shelters."
Long-term Recovery:

The Christchurch earthquake 2011 impact and response demonstrates how a developed nation manages natural disasters. Located on a conservative plate margin between the Pacific and Australian plates, the 6.3 magnitude earthquake caused significant urban disruption.
Highlight: The earthquake resulted in 181 deaths, 2,000 injuries, and damage to over 50% of city buildings.
Primary Effects: The earthquake caused immediate structural damage, including the collapse of the city's cathedral spire and extensive damage to water and sewage infrastructure.
Example: The damage was so severe that Christchurch had to forfeit hosting Rugby World Cup matches.
Short-term Response: The response was swift and well-coordinated, including:
Long-term Recovery:
Vocabulary: Conservative plate margin - A boundary where tectonic plates move alongside each other
