Earthquakes occur all over the world and nobody knows when and where they will strike. Some places experience earthquake more often than others. Countries around the pacific, Ocean, for example Japan, the west cost of the US and New Zealand frequently experience severe eartquakes. New Zealand experiences around 500 eartquakes everyday. The 1855 Wellington earthquake, the largest recorded in New Zealand raised the land by 1,5 metres. Most of down time Wellington was under the sea. And New Zealand also has strict regulations governing the construction of new buildings and the strengtheningof old ones.
