Ok, I'm looking at the info + details.. It was a 6.3 magnitude earthquake. This was a divergent movement, which means the motion was moving apart. However, this boundary line doubles as both a divergent AND transform boundary.

Volcanoes have been forming, some sources say. There are also continuous aftershocks, so I wouldn't recommend that you hang out in the cracks like these kids!
One interesting thing I found is the mountain range next to the boundary line. No surprise thereee!
Also, last year on September 4th, there was a 7.1 earthquake just like the most recent one. However, it was only shaking, and did not have direct damage toward Christchurch.
I'll be chilling like villain with Destiny Lockhart.. She's a cool bean.
Peace outttt
