New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH Researchers find New Zealand more seismically unstable than previously thought Posted on May 23, 2012 May 23, 2012 – NEW ZEALAND – Researchers have discovered New Zealand’s earthquake-prone landscape is even more unstable than previously thought, recording deep tremors lasting up to 30 minutes on its biggest fault line. Scientists measured the so-called “creeping earthquakes” when they investigated a puzzling lack of major seismic jolts along a section of the Alpine Fault, which runs the length of the South Island. The quakes, which caused no surface damage, occurred 20-45 kilometres (12-28 miles) beneath the Earth’s crust and continued for as long as half an hour, much longer than ordinary earthquakes. In contrast, the 6.3-magnitude quake that killed 185 people in the South island city of Christchurch in February last year lasted just 37 seconds and struck at a depth of about five kilometres. The quakes could not be measured by regular seismic monitoring devices and researchers from Wellington’s Victoria University had to place sensors in boreholes 100 metres deep to pick them up. Seismologist Aaron Wech said the research showed the Alpine Fault, regarded as New Zealand’s most hazardous, did not remain still between major earthquakes but was constantly shifting. Wech said the implications for future earthquakes were unclear. “It could be that constant tremor builds up stress and may trigger a major fault movement (earthquake) or, alternatively, the activity may decrease the likelihood of a major quake by acting as a release valve for stress,” he said. “What’s important is that we find out more about these tremor events, such as where they happen and how often, so we can better predict the hazard the Alpine Fault poses.” The research was published this week in the U.S. journal Geophysical Research Letters. The government’s GNS Science agency estimates the Alpine Fault has generated four quakes of magnitude 8.0 or higher in the past 900 years, most recently in the early 1700s, and another is overdue. It says there is a high probability one will occur in the next 40 years, producing “one of the biggest earthquakes since European settlement of New Zealand (which) will have a major impact on the lives of many people.” The Christchurch earthquake was not caused by the Alpine Fault but a previously unknown fault line, part of a network of seismic fractures criss-crossing New Zealand, which lies on the junction of two tectonic plates. -AFP [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com] |

It was about 10-11pm so we were asleep. /it woke us up, because it was incredibly loud, a roar. i woke up thinking i was on a moving steam train, it felt like that. i must look that quake up, for curiosity, now that i am a more interested in this stuff, i am curious about the depth, etc there are lots of quakes in that area, but the locals said it was by far the loudest one they had experienced. there are lots of different types of quakes, eh.. |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH Quake hits Christchurch Quoting: AwakeInTassie A 5.2 EARTHQUAKE has struck Christchurch and, although there are no initial reports of damage, work in the central city red zone has been called off for the day. The quake struck at 2.44pm (1244 AEST) today, and was off the coast, centred 10km east of the city at a depth of 11km. GNS Science said it would have been widely felt around Christchurch, with feedback to the GeoNet website indicating it was strong enough to cause furniture and appliances to move on smooth surfaces, and objects to fall from walls and shelves. It was also strong enough to cause slight, non-structural damage to buildings. The 1000 to 1200 workers in the city's red zone were sent home for the day, a Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority spokeswoman told NZ Newswire. Quakes of that size were generally followed by another similar shake about 60 to 90 minutes later and it was thought prudent to send them home, she said. Indicator buildings would be checked to see if they had suffered damage. It was the 41st quake of magnitude 5 or above since September 4, 2010. The Fire Service said there had been no reports of damage and a St John ambulance spokesman said there were no reports of injury or an increase in the number of emergency calls received.
