note the dust being generated on the cliffs as well as the cliff toe.\u00a0 Second, note that on the right side of the image there is also rockfall activity, as shown by the dust, out of the picture.\u00a0 Thirdly, on the left side there is dust being generated, probably from structural damage to the church.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The aftermath of these cliff collapses can be seen in my earlier posts <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/2011\/08\/05\/landslides-from-the-christchurch-earthquakes-part-4-large-scale-cliff-collapses\/\">here<\/a> and<a
