Do moonquakes last longer or earthquakes?
Although quakes on the moon are much weaker (and rarer) than those on Earth, they can last for much longer. We live in far damper environment than is on the moon and the seismic vibrations of our earthquakes will eventually be calmed by the moisture in the atmosphere. While an earthquake typically lasts for just a few seconds (10-30 for most moderate earthquakes), moonquakes can last up to an hour.

When did the christchurch particular fault last move and how can scientists decide this?
The Christchurch earthquake fault last moved significantly during the 2010-2011 earthquakes. Scientists use a combination of geological mapping, GPS data, and monitoring of ground deformation to track the movement of faults over time and determine when they have last ruptured. By examining historical seismic data and studying the distribution of earthquakes along a fault, scientists can also estimate the recurring interval of fault movement.
