Why did it cause so much destruction? Earth ScienceGeology - Learning Points. New Zealand sits on a tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific plate and the Australian plate. The region along the perimeter of the Pacific plate, known as the Ring of Fire, is prone to seismic activity. In February 2011, a magnitude 6.3 aftershock caused devastation in the city of Christchurch. The slap down or trampoline effect caused the liquefaction of soil and severe flooding in the city. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
