Slow, creeping earthquakes lasting up to 30 minutes on New Zealands biggest fault line

Aaron Wech, a member of the Victoria University team, said it could be that constant tremors build up stress and may trigger a major fault movement, or alternatively the activity may decrease the likelihood of a major quake by acting as a release valve for stress.

lol.

Interesting

Is this anywhere near that Canary Island thingy ??
