Wellington Earthquake warning ! - New Zealand
Seismologists have just put out an official warning, that Wellington could have another large earthquake in the near future !
This area is right beneath Matrix Travelers feet as it were.
No cause for panic... just something as a heads up to monitor at this point

I haven't seen Matrix posting lately, hope all is well.
It does have quite a bit of activity for sure in his area.
"Where is he setting in the Long/LAT of the scheme of things Z?"
1WW
Hi 1WW,
I have been quite lately because of what I have seen, through what you and others might refer to as
"Remote Viewing".
I am troubled greatly at present, by what I saw.
You know I am
NOT a religious person but there is account of the world situation in biblical writings
in the
N.T.In "
The Gospel According to LUKE" Ch. 21 verses 25 & 26 Quote;
Quote25. And there shall be signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;
the sea and the waves roaring;
26. Men's hearts failing them for fear,
and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:
for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
What I saw certainly relates to the underlined section in the above verses.
And another verse in "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" Ch. 21 verses 21 & 22 Quote;
Quote
1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea.
2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The Sky went Black and what was stretch out over the whole sky i.e.
filling ones visionwas the
Disc Section of this Drawing....
replacing the Black Sky
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/48matrix_traveller/images/0251.jpg)
But the two verses above referring to both the Waves Roaring and the seas disappearing
are connected to the Oceanic Trenches and the Earths plates.
I saw huge tidal affects which went out across the earth, caused by Catastrophic activity
within the Trenches destroying everything which was on the face of the Earth and ALL perished
on the Earth. The seas then withdrew back off the face of the Earth, and went down huge
openings where the Oceanic trenches had opened. These openings caused the oceans
to have like long openings along the trenches having a huge waterfall like action on ether side
of the openings and all the debris was taken down into the Earth via what were the trenches.
After this took place there were No more seas on Earth.
As for the human race
less than 1% remained... and to these people, a very strange thing took place;
Right at the time the tidal activity took out everything on the Earth.
Their bodies took on two similar images, One was
taken (By the tidal activity) the other
left.
In "
The Gospel According to LUKE" Ch.18 verses 34. to 36 Quote;
King James Version
QuoteI tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed;
the one shall be taken, the other shall be left.
New American Standard Version (1995)
Quote"I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed;
one will be taken and the other will be left.
Basic English Bible
QuoteI say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed,
and one will be taken away and the other let go.
The "
TWO" does
NOT refer to
TWO people i.e. these
TWO being Gay !
But instead we all, have like
TWO bodies mixed as one. (Having
Double Logic)
One being the seed of
A' DAM... the other of the wicked one through the cross breeding
between Alien and Human
5 to
6,000 years ago.
As I have said I am
NOT a religious person but know the writings well from my early years
of education.... without going into my personal background.
What troubles me is, what I saw through what you and others may refer to as "
Remote Viewing"
draws a parallel with what is written in these writings.
Now I Can
NOT say that this shall happen according to what I saw, but it troubles me greatly,
to whether or
NOT I should say more about all this.
matrix
i haven't 'seen' anything like you have
and no offense but i hope you are wrong :)
but having said that
i am 'feeling' very edgy about this fall and what is heading our way..
i don't think most are ready for worst case scenario
it's been over talked and most have just walked away from any prepareness
well if you can prepare..
guess we just do our best
Hi Sky,
Quotematrix
i haven't 'seen' anything like you have
and no offense but i hope you are wrong
So do I, but I just have a bad feeling about this, which I can't shake off..
I pray none have to go through this, and Hope I am wrong... but that now appears to be diminishing. :(
I even saw what happened to myself in all this.
Where the earthquakes are at present, are in the
Older "
Trench", between the North and South Islands of NZ.
Through what some refer to as "
Remote Viewing" I saw what happened to Wellington.
But I don't know if I should describe it ?
Perhaps I should
NOT ?
The 5TH Cycle the Mayan Calendar translated as with the whole 12/21/12 Apocalypse was detrimentally misappropriated as such.
I am confident that the Mayans were a head of their time, which is relevant with in their ability to read and monitor the stars, their ability postulate the next generation of calendar events with celestial bodies and events, their ability to be so connected to a reality that was until recently accepted as fact with in modern sciences, and in some degree, even more accurate.
My Friend Matrix,
There is something a miss in our understanding, I too can feel this. As our Friend Sky Otter has mentioned. It is a time of watchful awareness.
If we are to believe that a length of chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, well so be it that these deep Oceanic Faults are just that. The tectonic movements are never ending, constantly churning and shifting, and with all these things such as Global Warming, Cycles of the Sun and CME's being rather violent, but not unheard of, and the shifting of the Solar Poles, we are watching something a miss and rather unexplainable as far as 'How' these chain of events are coming forth.
I firmly believe that there is something happening to the planet and to fulfill the Mayan calendar as a form of warning of great Earth changes with in the Cosmos, and there are few that disagree, but mainstream Media will say that these events are not anything new, they are expected from time to time, that all is good with in the world of possible significant destruction. "I know better, just as you do my friend." ;)
I am not doom and gloom, but I am realistic with in the sciences and observation, I to have to agree there is something a foot, and I just hope that my acquaintances and people I consider friends and neighbor's or family fare well these days.
There are greater powers than us at work here, and as you had stated, I am not a religious person, but when and if the time should come, "I knew I seen it coming" and have nothing but a Lawn chair and a few cold ones to watch the show as the truth unfolds.
I am glad you are here Matrix, haven't seen you around lately, and now knowing what you have told me, I understand. I am not RV'er, but can read very well and especially between the lines when it comes to Earth Sciences and effects of such things.
Pleas stay in touch during this time Matrix, and keep posting the things you have to share, they are worthy of respect and merit full attention of things yet to come, maybe not tomorrow or a week from now, but yes, I feel your words. ;)
With Great Respect,
1Worldwatcher

Go ahead and describe what you saw...
One thing about remote viewing is that sometimes you see ALTERNATE possible futures, just like the Looking Glass (http://mariannenavada.com/the-looking-glass-self-and-technology/) tech.
Perhaps by being aware of it (if there is ANY truth to the Law of Attraction) we subconsciously choose the path of least harm...
The Older Trench is Not shown in articles on the Net. I don't really know why.. :(
But it is plain to see where it is and have marked it on this map...
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/normal_NewZealand_South_Pacific_b.jpg)
And I do know this is being monitored by scientist.
You can see where the Older Trench passes between the North and South Islands through Cook Strait.
And this is where these Earthquakes are taking place.
The Mountains in the North Islands are vents to the
Older Trench.
I Also know our so called Global temperature rise is to so with the Earths natural Thermal Cycles.
I also understand this Activity involving the Earths Pates is nothing new.
From what I now the Seas change their location from time to time from being above the Earths crust
to under the Earths crust and back again in a Cycle which is controlled via thermodynamics.
And that this phenomena takes place on many planets. (Such as Mars)
The Water on Mars did not escape its atmosphere but rather the bulk of its water is under the surface
of Mars at present.
I understand this "changeover" has something to do with recycling or regeneration of the surface
of planets.
The length of any "one cycle" also changes, but I don't pretend to understand it all.
Perhaps what was recorded about Noah's flood involved such an event involving the waters to
come from under the Earths crust via these Trenches to be above the Earth surface as we have today.
I remember that it is recorded biblically that the in The Genesis Ch. 8 verse 2. Quote;
Quote2. The fountains also of the deep
and the windows of heaven were stopped,
and the rain from heaven was restrained;
I think you will find that water was shot upward, from the open Trenches into our atmosphere
and came down as rain ! :)
This time though, the Water shall
return to
under the Earths crust again where it came from
before the "Great Flood".
So I understand that this is
NOT the time of the so called "End", but rather the
beginning
of another
1,000 Years for some, with The SON of MAN, as it tells us in biblical writings
no matter what Version we look at.
But the Son of MAN is
NOT human, but instead is a Title given to the Drawing I released above
in this thread, which I refer to as the "
Partition Map" of the
Souls "
Processing System".
If I am Correct, most of what will come out of all this, will be a greater knowledge of our Environment,
as well as our New human form.

I agree
100% with what you have said here
Z, but it is
NOT easy to talk about
as it weighs heavily on my Heart.
It's
NOT that I fear for, what
could take place in the future, but rather I don't want to witness the suffering,
I saw in others, again.
I will consider releasing what saw, but it must be
UNDERSTOOD I am
NOT forecasting the future,
but instead only describing what I saw.

Matrix
i understand but can only speak for myself
best explaination for me is that it is not a human caused event so much as a planet in motion/growth
and the suffering has already reached LOUD
do what you feel to be the best
you have already shared a lot for any who listen
hugs
:)
Here is a map of Cook Strait where I have marked approximately where the Trenches are.
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/normal_Cook_Strait_b.jpg)
And have shown sort of where the Earthquakes are happening. (Sorry its about as accurate as I can draw)
matrix, old friend, share what you will; I do fully believe that we can change the path and timeline before us by force of will if we see something we don't want approaching; just have to be positive and be prepared for whatever comes our way...
seeker
I will try and find a map and show the affected areas in Wellington I saw during "Remote Viewing".
It involves Huge "Sink Holes" some Km across and more than a 50 metres deep, perhaps more like
100 metres deep in one of them, which appeared as a result of a very large earth quake...
9.5 came to mind during the event I saw through "Remote Viewing".
Strange thing is.. that the area is on Rock of various types, some very crumbly, other areas like granite
but I am certainly no geologist. I might be able to dig something up though with a little research.
I have now lived with this knowledge for some years and what has happened so far is like a Déjà vu
and has definitely got my attention now.
But NOTE what Z has said in this thread, regarding "Remote Viewing" which I agree with 100% !
So the Event must NOT be seen as a "prediction"... But ONLY something I saw.
I Pray that it doesn't happen, But....... I just feel so helpless in that I can't do anything.... Except Watch !
you aren't helpless, matrix; that is the dark side talking through; you create your reality, so see it not happening, just a possibility that won't come to pass...
we all (those of us that aren't mind numbed by tv and video games) sense something approaching; let's focus on it being a good thing...
seeker
As I said don't treat this as a prediction.
Here are the approximate, locations and sizes, but I may be being conservative to the undersize
size of what I saw.
The Road tunnel passes between where the sink Holes appeared see map.
I viewed the event from the northern end of the tunnel from one of the flyovers over the motorway.
When I started viewing I thought what a beautiful sunny day it was, then suddenly all hell let loose.
The earthquake started und the ground collapsed in the area of the 1st "Sink Hole",
marked on the map below.
After the 1st tremor, a second larger area involving the down town area and more, collapsed
leaving a 2nd "Sink Hole" and the sea flowed into the 2nd "Sink Hole".
Note the Scale at the bottom left of the map.
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/normal_Sink_Holes_04.jpg)
I got the impression that there had been a subsidence of the sea floor involving the old "Trench"
and the "Sink Holes" were connected to this event somehow...
After the event many were evacuated out of NZ but I stayed behind and it was many months after this,
the world wide evens took place, involving the relocation of the Seas.
There was much I saw, which took place between these two events, (The Wellington episode
and the relocation of the seas, which I saw take place right across the Earth.
As for myself, I saw everything take place and have also seen the new Earth which is much different
than what you see at present. I have seen it both from the surface of the Earth as well as from space.
There were NO seas, only some lakes scattered around, and NO cities were visible nor any sign of human activity.
Neither was there any sign at all, of the old Earth. The Earth had been transformed.
But hey I saw this through, what others refer to as "Remote Viewing" and fully Conscious throughout.
So like what Z wrote, regarding "Remote Viewing", which I agree with 100%
And I only observe these things and see them for what they are, as what others refer to as
"Remote Viewing".
I got over my own fear of the possibility of it occurring, its just that I don't want to experience
the pain of seeing others suffer once again as I saw through "Remote Viewing".
It was sufficient to get the message, and NOT put trust in my "flesh", but instead
Put all my trust in LIFE. ;)

that is one nasty Fault line set up Matrix!! Be safe Brother. :(
Thanks Z for being so informative, I haven't had a chance to go to the US-GS website, so you are taking all the work out of this for us.. :P Nice to see the updates with information though.
Matrix, reply to let us know you are well. Please?
1WW
Hi 1WW,
All is fine... :)
Thank you for your concern.
I haven't written much in my forum as it appears no one has been reading anymore,
except Soma
Well that is according to the stats.
If others show interest by asking questions then I will add other material. :)
There is No point in me writing if no one is reading it... :(
But I am willing to release more, if people are genuinely interested.
Most of my time is taken up in programming and I am also helping my wife write a second book
regarding the Mx.
We are still having difficulties having the 1st book published in hard back form.
But perhaps we may resort to publishing them as eBooks.
Regarding earthquakes in NZ... Thank you Z for posting the Information.
Note that many drawings on the net., re. Alpine Ridges and Trenches vary, and sometimes contradict
each other.
I am NOT sure why the "Old trench" across the North Island, down through the Taranaki Bight
is not mentioned much on the net. especially when Seismologists are recording activity out
in the "Taranaki Bight", where the Old trench became active 40 years ago.
We had a 7.3 Earthquake (or greater) in that region some months ago but it was very deep.
It still was felt quite strong though in Taranaki, South Taranaki and Central areas to Wellington.
Just a matter of interest; Fishing boats sometimes get their nets fowled on the Rugged sea floor
around this Trench in the "Taranaki Bight". The Rift is also quite plain to see, across the North Island
meeting up again with the Kermadec trench.
This Trench crossing the North Island is North of the upper green line shown in the drawing of the North Island
shown in one of your pictures.
So I don't know if this is deliberately being kept out of pubic knowledge or what ?
Or it might be just an oversight. Who knows ?

Well this is the first I've heard a second trench ???
I was only aware of the Apline fault (older trench).
We really don't need another large event to happen here again but the way the seismic activitly has been tracking up and down the North and South Island I'm a little on edge. I hope Wellington has everything in order and learnt from what happened here in Christchurch.
Flux
Hi Flux,
I hope we don't have to go through this too.
If you look north of NZ you will find two ridges (Kermadec) highlighted in yellow
with the Old Kermadec Trench to the right of these two Ridges.
(http://www.treasuresofthesea.org.nz/images/intro001.jpg)
(https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQAtQE8dTaN1p1TD&w=573&h=677&url=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F7%2F7f%2FZealandia_topography.jpg)
The Old Trench exists between these two Ridges, and passes across the North Island,
passing between Maxwell and Patea. (Waverly between these two towns in South Taranaki)
it goes out about 30 miles out to sea, then swings South passing through Cook Strait
to meat up with the more recent Trench called the Hikurangi Trough.

The Earthquakes in Cook Strait are in the Old trench that goes north to Waverly and across
the middle of the North Island then up between those T
WO Ridges west of the Kermadek Trench.
Wellington has been expecting a major Earthquake since the 1970's.
The Interest I have involves "Remote Viewing" but one has to realise that "Remote Viewing"
is looking at many future possibilities which are subject to change at any time, depending
on the path we choose.
So what I am saying is that "
Remote Viewing" is Not absolute.
If we end up going down the Path I saw, then I suspect we will see subsidence involving
the old Trench in Cook Strait, which may be the cause of the "Sink Holes" I saw occur
in Wellington through "Remote Viewing".
I have had episodes of "Remote Viewing" come to fruition in the past but not every time,
so I don't let "Remote Viewing" rule me, but rather I just have an interest in "Remote Viewing"
regarding its mechanics and source.
So what I saw through "Remote Viewing" may Not necessarily happen and should
NOT be taken
as a prediction.
If these "Sink Holes" do appear in Wellington others will also occur in other places in the North Island.
And at a later date, some months or years we will find events take place along these trenches around
the Pacific ring of fire involving the relocation of the Oceans to the underside of the Earth's Crust.
Through "Remote Viewing" I saw Japan subside, just before the seas disappeared, from the surface
of the Earth.
When Japan subsided huge tidal waves spread out over continents and Islands then on the wash back,
the seas relocated under the crust where the plates had ruptured.
Hello Matrix,
When this scenario was first brought up of these tectonics moving the way they were and then realizing that a new fault was in play, with a triangulation to it, I was more concerned of a first ever observable plate "Lift" with in the apex of the connecting lines of the faults.
This too me is much more scary for you folks there, we have never really witnessed an inland tectonic plate rise. I know we have islands and such popping up from time to time on our planets sea floors and then re-submerging back below the water table, but this is a much more dire situation, if my assumptions are realistic for inland upheaval.
And of course, this is how all mountain ranges came to be, but, as far as I can tell thus far, we, as a species, have never witnessed anything remotely close to how far inland this event would take place.
I am concerned for you guy's either way, and though you have the ability of the RV techniques and I do not, one thing is for sure, either scenario is going to be scary. and my thoughts are with you my friend..
1WW
Hi 1WW,
Thank you for your concern.
Yea I am kind of in the middle of all this but as are others no matter where we live.
To leave one place and move to another area may be worse or better as it is all guess work.
The section I am in is that area shown as raising upward as you suggest. The areas outside this
are the areas I am concerned over. The triangular section I live on is being squeezed upward.
This Triangular section I think was the result of a piece breaking off from the Tasmanian Plate
westward from us when the newer of the trenches formed east of the "Older Trench",
which I understand existed between the two oceanic ridges west of the Kermadek Trench today,
extending down across the North Island, out into the western sea and down through Cook Strait.
It appears to me that the Earthquakes taking place along
BOTH trenches is the Interactions
of the Tasmanian and Pacific Plates with this triangular piece trapped between them.
If the "Remote Viewing" of this event I witnessed takes place sometime in the future I think
the Sink Holes I saw appear will be due to a huge subsidence of the edge of the Triangular
section Wellington City is next to. On a global scale the subsidence will be very small
but to us the affects involving our living habits re City life may be devastating.
I was interested to see Scientists pay a visit to the trench in Cook Strait,
to check for Subsidence of the Sea floor in Cook Strait, just after the Earthquake;
http://www.gns.cri.nz/Home/Learning/Science-Topics/Landforms/Sinking-Basins-and-Valleys
QuoteFaults: On a smaller scale, the Hutt Valley and Wellington Harbour are an example
of local subsidence due to tilting of the land surface by local fault displacements.

QuoteDrowned landscapes: In some areas the sea has flooded old landscapes. The Marlborough Sounds are a large network of ancient river valleys that have been tilted to the north and drowned by subsidence of the crust on the western side of Cook Strait. Rising sea levels following the last ice age have added to the immersion of this landscape.
See the photos of Islands below, across Cook Strait from Wellington City.

Science Centres: Coasts and Oceans
Huge undersea landslide discovered in Cook Strait
42943
Scars, indicating large-scale slope failures, are clearly visible at a depth of around 140 m in Cook Strait.
Undersea mapping in Cook Strait has revealed detail of massive rock movements around a huge canyon,
Nicholson Canyon, less than 15 km from Wellington Airport.
Using state-of-the-art multi-beam equipment, scientists have discovered that the canyon walls
are very steep.
The over-300 m high walls have clearly visible scars indicating a large-scale slope collapse
or landslide.
NIWA ocean geologist Joshu Mountjoy estimates that the volume of rock which collapsed into the canyon
was immense – in the order of 10, 000, 000, 000 cubic metres, or approximately four times the size
of Wellington's Mount Victoria.
"The potential for submarine landslides to generate hazardous tsunami is well documented,
and numerical tsunami modelling will be undertaken to assess the future hazard," says Joshu. "Also,
accurate knowledge of the seabed is important for activities such as submarine cable-laying
and installation of other marine infrastructure."
Evidence of several other similar size undersea landslides has been found in the Cook Strait canyons,
all within a 50 km radius of Wellington. The landslides are thought to be initiated during large-magnitude
earthquakes.
The research was funded by the Foundation for Research, Science & Technology, NIWA's Capability Fund
and the NZ Tertiary Education Commission.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook_Strait
QuoteThe shores of Cook Strait on both sides are mostly composed of steep cliffs.
The beaches of Cloudy Bay, Clifford Bay, and Palliser Bay shoal gently down to 140 metres,
where there is a more or less extensive submarine plateau.
The rest of the bottom topography is complex. To the east is the Cook Strait Canyon with steep walls
descending eastwards into the bathyal depths of the Hikurangi Trench.
To the north-west lies the Narrows Basin, where water is 300 and 400 metres deep.
Fisherman's Rock in the north end of the Narrows Basin rises to within a few metres of low tide,
and is marked by waves breaking in rough weather.
A relatively shallow submarine valley lies across the northern end of the Marlborough Sounds.
The bottom topography is particularly irregular around the coast of the South Island where the presence
of islands, underwater rocks, and the entrances to the sounds, create violent eddies.
The strait has an average depth of 128 metres (420 feet).

I spoke to a friend a couple of days ago who is working down here (specialist drainage company) for the repairs to the horizontal infrastructure and said they were called back up there (home city is Wellington for them) to repair a collapsed section of ground. The only reason he told me about it is because I mentioned sink holes while chatting. :-\

Thank you so much for your information.
Even though things have been quiet (many small Earthquakes) in Cook Strait I still have
a very, very bad feeling about this.
And I certainly don't want to see this happen in Wellington or anywhere else for that matter.
There was a 7.0 Magnitude earthquake in the Taranaki Bight in 2012 but it was very deep.
Still felt rather strong though dropping things of shelves etc.

July 4, 2012 – NEW ZEALAND – Last night's magnitude 7.0 earthquake in the South Taranaki Bight
is the largest to strike the region in more than 100 years, GNS Science says.
The quake struck at 10.36pm, 60km south-west of Opunake in Taranaki, at a depth of 230km.
It was felt strongly around the west coast of the lower North Island, and was widely felt from
the Bay of Plenty to Canterbury.
No tsunami was generated by the quake. Waiouru resident Adrienne Murphy told the Herald
it was the "biggest shake we have felt in years."
Residents in Wellington reported being startled by shakes, which lasted for about 15 seconds.
Some said the shakes were strong enough to topple household appliances, but the central Fire Service
communications centre said it had received no reports of earthquake-related damage.
We have just had 3 Strong Earthquakes....

6.9 magnitude earthquake hits New Zealand
Updated: 20:18, Sunday, 21 July 2013QuoteAn earthquake of magnitude 6.9 has struck New Zealand, but there was no immediate report of major damage or injuries.
It was the largest of a series of tremors that have shaken the region in the past few days.
The earthquake knocked items off shelves, shattered some windows and brought trains in the capital, Wellington, to a halt.
The Pacific tsunami warning centre did not issue a tsunami warning.
"We've had one report of structural damage so far, but as far as I know, power in the city is still on," said a spokesman at the capital's fire station.
The epicentre was in the Cook Strait that separates the country's North and South islands.
Domestic media have reported some power outages in the South Island.
http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0721/463734-new-zealand-earthquake/
Here is the epicenter of that July one...

QuoteOn Sunday evening, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake shook central parts of the country.
The epicenter was reported 52 km (32 miles) south-southwest of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. Dramatic shaking was felt in other cities from Blenheim and Seddon to smaller tremors in areas much further away, including Christchurch.
Aftershocks were also felt following the rather strong quake.
Sunday morning's quake followed a series of smaller earthquakes from Friday and Saturday that spawned checks of a few buildings in Wellington.

'Monster' quake hits WellingtonQuoteThe strong earthquake to hit Wellington this afternoon has been described as a "monster".
The 6.2 quake which hit at 2:31pm was at a depth of 8km and was centred 10.8 kilometres south-east of Seddon.
Seddon resident Murray Jones has described the quake as a "monster, that ripped everything off the walls."
"Mirrors fell off the walls, there's a lot more damage," he told ONE News.
Mr Jones said he would be leaving Seddon tonight, as it's "not safe."
"I'm very shaken," he said.
Mr Jones says the many aftershocks since the big one have been non-stop.
There have been a number of aftershocks after the first quake, some measuring over magnitude 5. However reports of the magnitude have been changing.
No reports of significant damage in Wellington

So nothing to serious this time around... whew... 8)
Yea this is the Older Trench I was referring to, which very old and filled in the most with sediments,
although you can see the near vertical Strata near Waverly beach in Taranaki.
It extends out into the South Taranaki Bight, West of the North Island and then down through
Cook Strait where it meats up with the More recent Trench on the East of the North Island.
Both these Trenches are very old though.
The Earthquakes in Cook Strait are near to where these 2 Trenches intersect.

This One appears to be in the Older Trench.
I was in the car (Christchurch) and felt the first one hit as the car swung side to side and thought that I haven't felt that in awhile ???
That photo of the CTV building was only just down the road from me where I was doing a structural inspection on a building. Can remember seeing the dust plume down the road from the collapsed building :(
Matrix I would be having a good look around your home inside on out just to check that everything is solid and attached. Loosen exterior cladding should be noted/brace if unsafe and any old chimney's should be checked. Any heavy interior wall items should be fastened back to the walls. Canned food, good stock of fresh water, portable radio with fresh batteries etc blah blah....
Just something from experience.
Thank you for your concern Flux.
My thoughts exactly regarding being prepared, and have always been.
(I used to be in the coast guard.)
Believe you me I don't want to see another Christchurch earthquake
or one involving Wellington. If there is, I will volunteer any assistance.
I still have a very bad feeling about this... and where it appears to be going.
I feel it is being down played at present, understandably...
good luck matrix
Take care Matrix ;)
matrix, be safe my friend; follow your insight and do what you must; we are here for you...

The area in front of the Gibraltar straight has some active faults, one of those is supposed to be the responsible for the biggest recorded earthquake in Europe, in 1755, of magnitude 8.5 to 9 (according to the seismologists that studied it), known as the Lisbon earthquake. I remember witnessing some 6 or 7 earthquakes, the last one in December 2011, if I'm not mistaken, with a magnitude around 6. :)
We are still experiencing many moderate Earthquakes along the the Old and more recent Trenches.
Here is a picture again showing roughly the location of the old and more recent Trenches and where
they intersect near Cook strait.
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/NewZealand_South_Pacific_b.jpg)
Note in the upper right there are two Oceanic Ridges. The Old Trench lays between these two, and extends
south west across the middle of the North Island, then out to sea and intersects with the more recent trench
on the eastern side of Cook Strait, where these stronger Earthquakes are occurring.
Other Earthquakes are also occurring in the South Taranaki Bight and South of the Wanganui area.
With a couple either side of the older Trench.
It is important to realise these TWO trenches are very old. But the Older Trench became active possibly
30 to 40 years ago.
I have never experienced in NZ so many Earthquakes before.
And the Locations of these are along both the Trenches.
I have experienced Swarms of Earthquakes in the past and a couple of Larger Earthquakes (NOT
as large as the Christchurch one though)
I have a very, very bad feeling about where this is going, and don't wish it on anyone.
IF what I saw in "Remote Viewing" regarding Wellington.....
it is the start of much greater Global plate activity leading into the geographical relocation of the seas on Earth.
I understand it is a common phenomena on many planets.
Through Remote Viewing, I saw a large part of Japan subside into the Sea, and huge "Tidal Waves" spread out
over the Earth a few years after what I saw happen (Through "Remote Viewing") in Wellington.
When these Tidal Waves hit the shores of the larger land masses they were not High but because
of the amount of water shifting they travelled many miles inland, taking out every building in its path.
IF it happens it will take place after what I saw through Remote Viewing, perhaps some months or years.
I had now clue to any sort of dates but I got a strong feeling while seeing this it could take up to 10 years
before the relocation of the seas.
Ultimately I saw there was no place on earth which would be safe.
But NOT all is gloom and doom.... there is a reason why we will go through all this,
which I can explain, but it will take a thread of its own to explain.

Scientists close in on origin of quake
MATT STEWART(http://static2.stuff.co.nz/1375736795/711/9006711.jpg)
Re. July 19 quake....
QuoteThe research suggests the quake put only minor stress on the Wellington Fault,
which is thought to be capable of rupturing to a potentially devastating magnitude 8.
While the July 19 quake placed little pressure on the Wellington Fault, it did not change
the likelihood of a sizeable earthquake, but nor did it aggravate it.
"It's good news for Wellingtonians but we live in a very active area so you can't become complacent,"
Little said.

That's the main difference between that area and the area where I live, those faults are much more active and with much more energy.

This was the latest eruption on Mt Ruapehu June the 6th 2009.
Mt Ruapehu is just one of the vents involving one of these Trenches.
(I suspect the Older Trench but don't quote me on this)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8W_sGYAQlc
Through "Remote Viewing", in about 2002, I saw both Mt. Taranaki (a vent involving the Older Trench)
and Mt. Ruapehu erupting at the same time which I suspect was about the time involving
the Wellington Earthquake seen also through "Remote Viewing".
I have always wonder if what I saw through "Remote Viewing", involved both these events together.
(Wellington Earthquake and the 2 mountains Erupting.)
Through "Remote Viewing" I saw Mt. Ruapehu erupt on the side, north of Waiorou which is located
to the south east of Mt. Ruapehu.
Most of the Mountain was blown away !
This event took place 0n 21/11/2012

Which is another Vent close to Mt. Ruapehu.

yeah the Volcanoes are definitely along the Old Trench line

I will thanks Amaterasu
Appreciate your concern.
We will just see what happens next, IF anything.
I still have that uneasy feeling though about this so, I will keep taking notice of what is happening.
I Came across some real interesting history involving events in Cook Strait though, which educated me somewhat.
In the past, during the late 1800's Wellington had an 8.2 magnitude earthquake.
I will see if I can post some of this, and the situation today regarding the more recent trench,
east of Wellington.
That's quite a sizable shake!

Some info. from 14 March 2011
http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/cook-strait-canyon-starts-to-spill-its-secrets
QuoteScience Centres: Coasts and Oceans
Preliminary results from the first comprehensive survey of the Cook Strait Canyon seabed have begun
to reveal tantalising scientific secrets about New Zealand's largest underwater canyon.
Last month marine geology and biology scientists onboard NIWA's research vessel Tangaroa
spent a week collecting sediment cores, rock samples and video footage and photographs of the seafloor
in the canyon system.
One of the largest underwater canyon systems in the world, the Cook Strait Canyon starts
just 10 kilometres off the Wellington coast and plunges to 3 kilometre depths south of Cape Palliser.
Initial bathymetric mapping by NIWA showed that the canyon is scarred by more than 150
submarine landslides and many active faults.
But, until now, very little has been known about what caused those landslides and the hazards
they may pose, or even what lives there. Three landslides in the upper canyon were sampled
on the latest voyage.
Initial results show that one of these landslides in particular occurred recently, and may have been caused
by the magnitude 8.3 Wairarapa earthquake in 1855. The similarity of this landslide to others in the canyon
suggests that many of these occurred during this large earthquake.
The Wairarapa earthquake caused widespread landslides on land, uplifted the Wellington waterfront
and generated a moderate tsunami.
NIWA Marine Geologist Dr Joshu Mountjoy says "we have long suspected that many of the landslides
we see occurred during the 1855 event.
We have never had any data to support this so it is really exciting to be getting to the point where
we can attribute landslides to this earthquake with certainty."
One of the canyon's three main arms appears to be inactive at the moment and is predominantly filled
with mud. However, sediment cores taken from the Nicholson and Cook Strait arms of the system,
indicate these canyons are much more active, with repetitive sediment flows occurring.
Where these canyons merge at around 1,200 metre depths, towed camera images showed
jagged blocks of rock lying on the canyon floor. These may have fallen off the canyon walls,
which are more than one kilometre high, or been excavated out of the canyon floor by the current.
"Carbon dating of the sediment cores and rock samples collected will give us more information about how
old the sediment is in the canyon floor and the age of the landslides.
That helps us assess whether activity in the canyon is caused by earthquakes, tidal currents
or other sediment processes," Dr Mountjoy says.
"Some landslides in the system are huge, ranging in volume from 2.5 million cubic metres
to approximately ten cubic kilometres size, and they certainly have the potential to generate hazardous tsunami.
We are now getting a clearer idea of how often the landslides might occur and why.
The 1855 Wairarapa earthquake occurred on 23 January at about 9 p.m.

Matrix it may explain also as to why I have read on more than one occasion how people had dreams of a massive tsnumani hitting the east coast of oz. Although I must add that it's hard to know how those story's propogate aswell.

One of the reasons I am interested in, is whether or not what I saw during these "Remote Viewing" episodes
does in fact come about.
In my case I don't have to relying or hearsay but trying to analyse the mechanics involving my
own"
Remote Viewing" experiences.
As you know "Remote Viewing" is very complex, and often appearing unreliable, but this I understand
is due to the complex time or action paths, which involves our options in which path of future we choose
or find ourselves in.
The Future does
NOT seem to be "
Finite" but rather of multi choice.
What I saw by the numerous "
Remote Viewing" episodes; I did see tidal affects spread out
from Wellington area and the larger of the two "Sink Holes" fill with sea water.
So yes the eastern Coast of Australia would possible bear the brunt of such a tidal wave/s
IF this were to happen.
If the Wellington event does manifest, then I will look more closely at my experiences involving
"Remote Viewing", especially those regarding "
the relocation of the seas".
But I still have many, many Questions regarding the possibilities and Mechanics of such an event !
IF what I saw involving Wellington through "Remote Viewing", does come to fruition, then I have to consider
the possibilities of the other Sessions involving "
Remote Viewing" also happening in the Future. :(
None of these events I want to see happen, but at the same time, I can't put my head in the sand like an Ostrich.
I don't believe I should fear what I saw, but rather try to understand and record my findings.

Exploration for Oil and Gas in NZ has been going on for Years and Years. Nothing new.
Yes Earthquakes appear to be getting smaller (Normal) but sometimes we speak too Soon...
Christchurch is just one example of the so called experts not quite getting it right. :(
So for now.... I am just the observer... Don't shoot the messenger just yet. LOL...

Anadarko recognizes the opportunity to operate in New Zealand as a privilege, and we are dedicated to protecting the natural beauty of New Zealand. We believe operating safely and in a responsible manner is paramount as we aim
to form a long-term partnership with the nation that will benefit New Zealand for years to come.
HTML Area 1
Anadarko New Zealand Company
Anadarko has been actively engaged in New Zealand since 2008. We have established an office in Wellington and advanced exploratory programmes in both deepwater Taranaki and the Canterbury Basins where we expect to test 2-3 exploratory prospects in late-2013/14.
(http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/13/55/53/83/newzea10.png)
In December 2012, the New Zealand Government announced the awarding of two additional adjoining petroleum exploration permits to Anadarko in the Pegasus Basin, which is located Southeast of the Wairarapa. The next step here is to continue the extensive science work and desktop and geological surveys to gain a clear picture of the environment and the rock formations that exist thousands of feet below the seabed. All of the science requires a significant investment of time, and any testing of identified prospects would only occur years down the road, pending the results of our analysis.
While there is still a lot of exploration work and analysis to be done, we are optimistic about the potential our activities present for New Zealand's future.
Among Anadarko's core values is servant leadership, defined as placing the success of others above our own. This describes our approach to the sustainability of our operations. We look to extend success beyond our commercial interests, to our human interests, and we look forward to delivering real gains for New Zealand's economy.
Leader in Deepwater Exploration
Anadarko is recognized worldwide for its leading deepwater exploration, production and project-management expertise. Leveraging leading-edge technology, Anadarko ranks in the top five for number of wells drilled in water depths greater than 1,500 meters and is the second most active driller in water depths greater than 2,300 meters over the last 10 years, according to IHS Energy. The company has been recognized on a number of occasions with technology awards from the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) for achievements that include the world's first classic spar, truss spar and cell spar, as well as the world's deepest and largest natural gas processing facility at Independence Hub.

White Island is a vent to one of these Trenches just of the East Coast of the North Island,
in Bay of Plenty.
A small eruption occurred at White Island at 10:23 on Tuesday 20 August 2013 (NZ local time)
and continued for about 10 minutes.
The eruption column was visible from the Bay of Plenty coast with a plume rising to about 4 km
above sea level before slowly dispersing.

Got this from the NZ Herald today Matrix!
Bigger event could happen 'at any time'QuoteCivil Defence will monitor White Island (Whakari) following a small eruption which could be part of a sequence leading to a bigger event.
Following yesterday morning's blast, sightseers were warned another eruption could occur "at any time with little or no warning".
The alert status remained at level 2, and the Aviation Colour Code had been lowered from red to orange, Bay of Plenty Civil Defence said.
Yesterday's small eruption occurred at 10.23am, lasted for about 10 minutes and produced mostly steam. It was visible from the Bay of Plenty coast, with a plume rising to about 4km above sea level before slowly dispersing, said Emergency Management Group spokesman Clinton Naude.
Activity had since returned to normal.
"The eruption originated in the active crater area that has been experiencing very small mud eruptions in recent weeks," he said.
"The eruption threw mud and rocks a short distance from the source, and produced large volumes of white steam."
Weather radar observations showed a small proportion of volcanic ash was carried with the steam, Mr Naude said.
White Island has been experiencing low-level activity since last August.
QuoteThere was no evidence to link White Island's volcanic activity to the Seddon earthquakes, Mr Miller said.

Hi Soma
QuoteThere was no evidence to link White Island's volcanic activity to the Seddon earthquakes, Mr Miller said.
Do you believe them ?
My answer to them is. "Yea right course there isn't" LOL.
Everything is Connected and NOT one part can be separated Out..... (&#&% Monkeys !
The Earth is a complex bit of machinery where its Components (esp. Plate Tectonics) are interactive.
It's a bit like designing internal combustion engines.... (Thermal Converters)
Change one component and it affects the interplay of
ALL the other Components involving Thermodynamics.
To suggest that the actions taking place in the earths Crust are not connected with each other, is plain Stupidity
and blind Ignorance on the part of these Scientists making such stupid and irresponsible claims.
Just FYI.
White Island.........I did a little look-up after seeeing the pics. The island rises to a little over 1,000 feet above sea level. But, White Island is a volcanic mountain, that rises a little over one mile above the seafloor. At its base, White Island is like 9 miles x 11 miles wide.
Uninhabited 2 x 2.4 km White Island, one of New Zealand's most active volcanoes, is the emergent summit of a 16 x 18 km submarine volcano in the Bay of Plenty about 50 km offshore of North Island. The 321-m-high island consists of two overlapping andesitic-to-dacitic stratovolcanoes; the summit crater appears to be breached to the SE because the shoreline corresponds to the level of several notches in the SE crater wall. Volckner Rocks, four sea stacks that are remnants of a lava dome, lie 5 km NNE of White Island. Intermittent moderate phreatomagmatic and strombolian eruptions have occurred at White Island throughout the short historical period beginning in 1826, but its activity also forms a prominent part of Maori legends. Formation of many new vents during the 19th and 20th centuries has produced rapid changes in crater floor topography. Collapse of the crater wall in 1914 produced a debris avalanche that buried buildings and workers at a sulfur-mining project.
at this moment things look creepy calm.this is the deadest ive seen it in weeks.

The White Island Sulphur Co.
http://www.whiteisland.co.nz/white_island.html
White Island is one of the most fascinating and accessible volcanoes on earth, carrying with it
an A grade level of scientific importance. As New Zealand's only live marine volcano,
scientists and volcanologists worldwide are attracted by its unique features.
The volcano is estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000 years old. However, the small portion
of the island that is visible above sea level has been in its present form for an estimated 16,000 years -
evidence of a continually changing landscape.
Walking on White Island is like walking on the moon. Virtually no vegetation survives the harsh
acidic environment inside the crater walls. Instead, lush beds of yellow and white sulphur crystals
grow amongst hissing, steaming, bubbling fumaroles.
(http://www.whiteisland.co.nz/pics/library/view%20to%20main%20crater%20resize.jpg)
Giant mounds, remnants of the 1914 Great Landslide, dwarf visitors as they wind their way up to the Main Crater.
Venturing to the edge, they are greeted by an amazing sight - an immense crater, with towering walls
shielding its spectacular lake and punctuated by steamy vents from which the power of the inner earth
constantly belches forth.
Neighbouring Donald Duck and Noisy Nellie Craters each have their own stories to tell and a view
from on high. Down below, bright yellow chimneys of delicate sulphur crystals enhance the alien landscape
and lure the visitor for a closer look.
(http://www.whiteisland.co.nz/pics/library/sulphur%20resized%20image.jpg)
(http://www.whiteisland.co.nz/pics/library/history2.jpg)
(http://www.whiteisland.co.nz/pics/library/history1.jpg)
Serious exploitation of sulphur on the island did not begin until 1885, when joint owners at the time,
Aucklanders Henry James Johnson and Mr Justice Wilson formed an enterprise called
the New Zealand Manure & Chemical Co.
Their intention was to produce both fertiliser and sulphur ore to be used in the production of sulphuric acid.
In order to do so, a base on the mainland was needed. Even though Whakatane was the closest port,
its river entrance was obstructed by a bar which made entry for shipping difficult.
A site was therefore acquired on the shore of Tauranga Harbour at what came to be known as Sulphur Point.
Production got underway but was abandoned in a great hurry a year later as a result of one of the greatest
volcanic eruptions of all time, the Tarawera eruption. Ash from that eruption blanketed White Island
and as White Island was the closest active volcano to Tarawera and part of the same geological structure,
it was thought that it would erupt in the same way.
Operations resumed in 1898. Fair amounts of sulphur ore (about 1500 tons per year on average)
were produced at the start of operations but in the fourth year these started to dwindle
and the operation was closed down.
Ownership of the island changed hands several times over the next 11 years but it does not appear
that there was any effort made to work the mineral deposits during this time. It wasn't until Dr John Browne
and Archibald Mercer, an Englishman with connections in Vancouver, Canada, purchased the island
for Canadian $20,000 in 1913, that another attempt was made to mine.
The name of their company was The White Island Sulphur Co. of Vancouver and its aim was to concentrate
on sulphur production.
The operation was plagued by production problems and disaster from the beginning but the most devastating
of these halted the works completely. In September 1914 a section of the southern rim of the crater wall
slumped, causing a massive lahar that wiped out all the buildings on the island as well as the men
who were living there.
After this disaster, the island was left alone for 9 years until Mercer, ever optimistic and having raised
capital in Canada, resumed production in 1923. The venture showed promise of being fairly successful.
Mercer formed a new company, White Island Agriculture Chemical Co. Ltd, headed by prominent
local people, and looked to attract prospective investors. To help, he enlisted the services
of someone familiar with the local capital market to take charge of the distribution of shares to the public –
Auckland sharebroker, George Raymond Buttle and the firm, GA Buttle & Co. So began the Buttle family's
association with White Island.
(http://www.whiteisland.co.nz/pics/library/history3.jpg)
This particular venture, which ended up being the last, continued for 10 years until, with the Depression
and consequent reduced demand for fertiliser, it went bankrupt and was closed down in 1933.
The island was left alone for the next 3 years and then was put up for tender in 1936.
It was through this tender that George Raymond Buttle acquired White Island and it has been in his family
ever since, now being owned by the Buttle Family Trust.
The new owner commented that "he rather liked the idea of owning a volcano". Later, he wrote:
"I am setting the impossible task of trying to let you have some idea of the fascination that White Island
has for us..... Strange as it may seem, the island is unbelievably beautiful and beyond description.
Surely it is one of the wonders of the world...."

So where is all the Steam (Water) coming from?
Does Magma below the earths crust absorb Water ?
In other words is Water in Magma ?
And more to the point is Water (in the form of a GAS) stored in the Lithosphere under the Earth's crust ?

I suppose some comes from water infiltrations and some from the rocks, I suppose all rocks have some water in them.
From what I understand the water may be in a rock called Olivine which the Mantle mainly consists of.
Some suggest that the water gets in from the surrounding water table, but I seriously doubt this.
If this was the case then the flow would be in the opposite direction with Lava spreading out
through the water table instead.
So I would go along with the Idea the water is contained in Olivine and escapes when the magma
reaches a level of lower pressure.
Mt. Ruapehu often has a lake in its crater and people used to swim in it (Warm) but since has become
too acidic.

Wish I could Z, truly I do, but I am only the observer.
AS you know RV is a very complex area, and things don't always happen the way one has seen
in RV.
We don't have all the cards, and it is normal for the human species, to try and dodge things they fear
through lack of knowledge and understanding, especially myself. :)
Just because I saw this through RV doesn't mean it
SHALL happen, but at the same time
I don't want to put my head in the sand.
So I will keep an eye on things, like a sleeping dog with one eye open on guard. :)
Our Lives are made up of 50/50 Good and the unwanted at the end of the day.

I find RV extremely interesting Z but I am not an expert in the area, never the less I
do find the phenomena interesting.
I can tell you that
YES, the Sun does play a part in it, but I will have to read his descriptions
to see if it is similar.
I saw the Sun go Black but one could still see on earth, (Strange) I saw thousands of English styled
upper case letters & numerals, as well as other glyphs appear in the Black Sun.
This occurred just prior to a huge Earthquake, (Off the scale) involving the Izu-Bonin and Mariana Trenches south of Japan.
Can you point me to Ed Dames descriptions please, as I would like to compare.
He might be able to add some understanding.
There is no point in fearing this, as I can't do much anyway, but the mechanics interest me
while I am still around... :)

Down grading is done when data from multiple sensors is combined. A single reading can be high based on material density so they average them out

Thanks Z... I will leave reporting the quakes a little longer after the event, unless of course we have breaking news.
If the "big one" occurs I will get in touch immediately
IF I can.
Just hope the big one doesn't happen, but I feel so uneasy about what is going on.
I am used to larger earthquakes and swarms of Earthquakes, but I haven't seen so any shallow earthquakes before.
I am certainly no expert in this field but I get the feeling of subterranean subsidence is involved somehow.
http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/Natural_Disasters/subsidence.htm
I am still looking for Caverns further down into the crust than 5 Km but not much luck on the net at present.
Knowing a little of your background; Do you know anything about this whether such Caverns exist or not ?
Or if you know where I can get more Info. on this ?
Matrix, is there any connection between the earthquakes and fracking? I tried searching, but my non-knowledge of New Zealand geography leaves me not really knowing where to look.
I remember the earthquakes we frequently had when I was growing up. The source was Rocky Mountain Arsenal. They were pumping contaminated water into the ground to dispose of it.

QuoteMatrix, is there any connection between the earthquakes and fracking? I tried searching, but my non-knowledge of New Zealand geography leaves me not really knowing where to look.
Yes fracking is taking place in NZ in the Taranaki area, 3 to 400 km North of Wellington
and Cook Strait.
Fracking has been a public issue in NZ, but the official report by gov. Fracking so far, has not caused
any problems in NZ but the gov. is actively monitoring the situation I understand.
I'm looking for Geological "Vertical Gradient" maps showing subterranean Cavities of the North
and South Islands, showing any known cavities esp. along Trenches and Alpine or Ocean Ridges.
NZ has many caves etc. but I am interested in Caverns etc.
deeper than 2 km esp. around 5
to 20 Km depth,
IF in fact Large Cavities or Caverns do exist at these depths in the Earth's crust.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that such caverns exist. There's a lot we don't know. I'll keep my whiskers alert for any messages from elsewhere.

north of the south Island have become active in the sea.

QuoteThe report identifies 10 active marine faults in a 320-kilometre stretch from Hokitika to Farewell Spit.
That includes three new faults, informally named the Farewell, Elizabeth and Razorback faults, and divides the 250km-long Cape Foulwind Fault into five segments.
The faults run parallel to the coastline within 30km of land, some only a few kilometres offshore, and vary in length from 10km to the longest, Kongahu Fault, at 120km.
As I said I have a very, very bad feeling about what is happening in NZ.
Most seem oblivious to what is about to happen...
The activity which has started is in a bunch of faults not usually shown and I am trying to locate these
maps now. The faults were shown on TV tonight.

A balanced outlook there Flux... I have found out the name of the earthquake Fault...
It is called the Whakamarama Fault which passes through Golden Bay and ends up northeast of Whanganui
in the North Island. Obviously connected with the old Trench.
This Fault has been active since the
1970's, so not sure why the Gov. have brought this to our notice now ?
Unless they have known something they haven't told us (Public) in the past... :(

It doesn't show the full details about this in the above map but this fault extends northeast across

The Whakamarama Fault is what I referred to as the Old Trench is more like a "Plate Facture".
But I am still finding out more about this.
It would appear that the trench through Cook Strait....
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/Cook_Strait.jpg)
is actually another "fracture" between the "Whakamarama Fault" (Fracture) and the "Kermadec Trench"
on the eastern side of the North and South Islands.
Most of the concern appears to be around
possible "subsidence" in the Cook Strait area as there has been
in the past some thousand years ago similar to the East Cape Subsidence.
IF this were to occur in Cook Strait on the Wellington side then this could account for what I saw
through Remote Viewing, re. the 2 Sinkholes I saw appear in Wellington City.
Cook Strait was checked out by Geologists just after the last strong Earthquake in Cook Strait.
The East Cape Subsidence(http://www.teara.govt.nz/files/m-5606-niwa.jpg)
QuoteEast Cape Subsidence
Looking like a landslide on any over-grazed hill, this submarine slide off East Cape is tens of thousands
of times bigger. The slide occurred on a slope about the same height as Mt Cook. Blocks, some larger
than Mt Ruapehu (18 kilometres wide), travelled nearly 50 kilometres out across a completely flat abyssal floor.
Fortunately, it probably happened more than 155,000 years ago. It is thought that the slope may have
been destabilised by a volcanic seamount on the Pacific Plate carried along towards and under the Australian Plate.
QuoteSubmarine landslides
In places, New Zealand's continental slope is not stable, either because rocks are being tilted seawards
or because land-derived sediments are collecting there. Lubricated by water, and subject to severe earthquakes,
steep underwater slopes are prone to crumbling and slipping. However, even very gentle slopes
(some off Hawke's Bay are only 1°) can slide.
When a section of the seabed collapses it pulls down the water above it. When the sea rebounds,
a tsunami is born. Small submarine landslides have come close to capsizing Kaik?ura fishing boats
in otherwise calm seas. One near Gisborne may have caused the tsunami that caused extensive flooding
in 1947. The huge landslide off East Cape, first mapped in 1995, would have generated catastrophic waves.
Fortunately it occurred about 170,000 years ago – long before people were living in New Zealand.
In many cases slips are merely tens of metres thick, but in a few places submarine landslides have been
on a truly massive scale. One such slide, the Ruatoria Debris Avalanche, occurred on a 3-kilometre-high slope
off East Cape. Over 3,000 cubic kilometres of rock collapsed (equivalent to the area of Coromandel Peninsula
falling from Mt Cook). It left a 30-kilometre-wide amphitheatre and a tangle of blocks – some 17 kilometres across
and 1.5 kilometres high – littering the abyssal sea floor for up to 50 kilometres beyond the toe of the slope.
Wow, Matrix! It does look like it's building up to something NOT fun.
I will keep good energies flowing that, whatever happens, You will be safe.

Shasta
YES. :)
Like for instance in Maori Legends;
According to Maori Legend, Mt Ruapehu and Mt. Taranaki were one side by side and Mt. Taranki fled
down what is now the Whanganui river and up the coast to where it is today near New Plymouth
and Stratford.....
Plate Shift ? ? ?
Perhaps. :)
Maori also say that one day Mt. Taranaki will return to be with Mt Ruapehu once again. :)
http://www.nzterritory.com/geographic/battle.html
(http://www.nzterritory.com/geographic/nz_banner-battle2.jpg)
Back in mythological times when mountains lived and loved, many mountains dwelt in the centre
of the North Island -- Mt. Taranaki among them.
While Tongariro was away, Taranaki wooed and won Tongariro's wife, the graceful Pihanga.
Tongariro returned at sunrise to find the guilty pair and in the struggle that followed Taranaki was banished.
The depression under Fanthams Peak was caused by a kick from Tongariro, and the coup de grace
caused the cleft in Taranaki's summit.
Taranaki retreated ignominiously to the west coast of the North Island, carving the course of the Wanganui River
(http://therightsofnature.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WhanganuiRiver2.jpg)
(http://www.teara.govt.nz/files/m-2174-enz.jpg)
as he went and filling it with his tears, and then moved North to his present position.
While resting near Stratford, his weight caused the depression which became known as Te Ngaere Swamp.
When he paused to rest again near the coast, the Pouakai Range threw out a spur and when Taranaki awoke
he was forever a prisoner.
To this day Taranaki gazes silently at his lover and his rival. Pihanga still loves Taranaki and sighs occasionally
when she thinks of him, while Taranaki, when covered in mist, is said to be weeping for his lost love.
Meanwhile, Tongariro, the enraged and jealous husband, still smoulders with fury.
(http://www.nzterritory.com/geographic/taranaki2.jpg)
http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/1966/ruapehu-mount/page-3
Maori Legend of Mounts Ruapehu and Taranaki (Egmont)
Ruapehu, the beautiful maid, was married to Taranaki. One day, while her husband was away hunting,
she was wooed and won by Tongariro. When Taranaki returned at the end of the day he surprised
the guilty pair.
A titanic battle ensued in which Taranaki was defeated. He retreated towards the west coast, carving out
the course of the Wanganui River as he went.
When he reached the coast he moved northwards to the western extremity of the North Island,
where he rested.
There his great weight made the shallow depression which afterwards filled with water and became Te Ngaere swamp.
Taranaki, or Egmont, as Cook named him, now sits in silence looking towards his wife and his rival.
In spite of her infidelity, Ruapehu still loves her husband and sighs occasionally as she remembers him,
while the mist, which drifts eastward from his head, is the visible sign of Taranaki's love for her.
For his part, Tongariro, who despairs of ever possessing her again, smokes and smoulders with anger.
To this day travellers in the Tongariro National Park see the basin called Rua Taranaki, "the Pit of Taranaki",
which lies to the east of the Tama Saddle which was the original home of Taranaki.
The name Ruapehu does not appear to commemorate any event in Maori legend. Broken into its components
it means rua (two) and pehu (to explode or make a loud noise). But this method of breaking down
Maori place names in order to explain their meaning is far from reliable.

http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/new-west-coast-earthquake-fault-found-5573887
QuoteNew research has revealed that some of the West Coast is sandwiched between enormous offshore
fault lines and the Alpine Fault.
They are the type that generate tsunamis, which is bad news for coastal townships because it is unknown
when they will rupture.
National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) scientists today released a report
from a two-year mapping project for the West Coast Regional Council, which wanted to assess
earthquake and tsunami risk for its coastal communities.
The report identifies 10 active marine faults in a 320-kilometre stretch from Hokitika to Farewell Spit.
That includes three new faults, informally named the Farewell, Elizabeth and Razorback faults,
and divides the 250km-long Cape Foulwind Fault into five segments.
The faults run parallel to the coastline within 30km of land, some only a few kilometres offshore,
and vary in length from 10km to the longest, Kongahu Fault, at 120km.
Niwa marine geologist Philip Barnes said yesterday the largest could generate major quakes
of magnitude-6.5 to 7.8.
National tsunami modelling, prompted by the 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami,
showed no marine faults off the West Coast so the new research filled in a huge gap
in understanding seismic hazards, he said.
The latest information would be used to update the country's seismic hazard work.
While the faults were relatively large and capable of causing severe quakes, Barnes said
the good news was they had extremely long recurrence intervals so would only rupture
once every 7500 to 30,000 years.
"But we've got no idea when the last earthquake occurred on any of them. For all we know,
that may be very close."
They were compressional faults, which typically would lift the seabed when they ruptured, he said.
Barnes said work on the recent quakes in Canterbury and Seddon showed all faults interacted
with nearby faults, which meant marine faults off Hokitika could stir up the nearby Alpine Fault.
The Alpine Fault is New Zealand's largest fault, which spans 600km from Fiordland to Marlborough
and ruptures every 330 years on average.
That is some very interesting Seismic activity Matrix, especially the huge ope gap of no activity.

Quote"Do you read anything farther into this type of pattern Matrix?"
Just a guess on my part here but it appears the Main Divide is locked and building up pressure
for a very large earthquake to take place.
This could be why Seismologists from all over the world including the USA visit the Southern Alps.
If such a Earthquake took place this would affect every fault connected or produced by
the South Island Ridge, esp. Cook Strait which is more like a Plate (Crust) Fracture than a true Trench.
I feel strongly that some sort of "Subsidence" in Cook Strait, may account for what I saw through "Remote Viewing".
But what is seen through "Remote Viewing" is only One of many "options", involving events.
My understanding is, what we believe or understand to be, both "Past" and "Future" is only an Illusion !
Only the Present exists.
(Note the spelling is the same for both the "Gift" and the "Moment".)
So my Interest is in the Phenomena of "Remote Viewing"... rather than any disaster.

I think that the area with no activity has only low depth earthquakes, as the chart shows only earthquakes at depths bigger than 40km.
From my understanding of it, shallow earthquakes are probably the result of other movements, like aftershocks, as if things keep on rearranging themselves for some time after a large earthquake.

I will agree with you that Shallow Earthquakes often are after shocks, but not all shallow Earthquakes
are associated with after shocks.
I can tell you that Seismologists are intently interested in the Southern Alps, which has been well documented.
They have said they have concerns regarding the possibility of a Major earthquake occurring
in the Alpine Ridge (Main Divide) in the future which has also been well documented.
Laser stations have been set up along the Alps recording movement within the South Island Ridge.
Note the Strongest Earthquake that hit Wellington was a shallow Earthquake..

QuoteTechnical Abstract
The Vernon fault lies within the northern part of Marlborough fault system; it splays from the Awatere fault
~12 km from the east coast and continues into Cook Strait for a further ~25 km northeast-wards.
Although a relatively minor component of the plate boundary zone, the Vernon fault is significant
because it lies adjacent to Big Lagoon, a coastal wetland that potentially holds a geologic record
of tectonic subsidence related to subduction earthquakes.
The southern Hikurangi subduction interface dips westward beneath the Cook Strait region,
and has the potential to rupture in large to great earthquakes. A subduction earthquake
on the southern Hikurangi margin is potentially one of the biggest hazards in central New Zealand.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8950508/Swarm-could-trigger-Wellington-fault
QuoteSeismologists say the weekend's swarm of earthquakes could be on a new fault
they have not mapped before, and could possibly trigger movement on the feared Wellington fault.
The news comes as Wellington wakes from another rocky night, which included a 4.9-magnitude quake
in the early hours. Through the night, a swarm of quakes occurred which were centred off Seddon
in the upper South Island -
the biggest being was a 4.9 quake at 1.31am at a depth of 25km. All other quakes since midnight
were 3.8 or lower.
GNS scientists and teams from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research have been
working to establish which fault line was the catalyst for the series of shakes, including the magnitude 6.5 quake
on Sunday evening.
Seismologist John Ristau said the earthquakes were lying in an area of Cook Strait between the Vernon fault
and Needles fault.
"There are a number of active faults in the area. It's an issue because they are offshore so it's difficult
to get the most accurate location we can."
A third fault to the left of Needles, called the London Hill fault, was also a possible location if it was found
to extend offshore.
"The other possibility is it is either on an unmapped fault or something brand new."
Quantifying the contribution of Vernon fault displacement to the tectonic subsidence of Big Lagoon
is the main objective of this study.
http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/scientists-set-to-delve-into-the-secrets-of-the-cook-strait-mega-canyon
QuoteThis week, scientists led by NIWA Marine Geologist Dr Joshu Mountjoy will use a new dynamic positioning
(DP) system onboard NIWA's research vessel Tangaroa to collect sediment cores, rock samples
and DTIS (deep-towed imaging system) footage of the seafloor.
The DP system uses electrically powered thrusters and computerised controls to fix the vessel
to a specific area, guided by satellite positioning or transponders on the seabed. It will allow the scientists
to take very accurate samples from the canyon floor, landslide scars and fault scarps, in 500-1,000 metre depths.
Data collected will provide information about active sediment transport through the canyon,
how often landslides and earthquakes occur, and give scientists a first glimpse of the biology in the canyon.
"This voyage is a step towards understanding one of New Zealand's most remarkable seafloor features.
Internationally, mega-scale canyon systems like Cook Strait are regarded as the focus of deep ocean
sedimentary activity. We know that dramatic sediment movement occurs through much of Cook Strait
in response to tide related currents but we have no information on the canyon system. It is really exciting
to be on the verge of collecting the first images and samples from this extraordinary landscape
including the first footage of the biology living in these canyons," says Joshu.
"Data collected will also help us to quantify hazards that could be created by landslides and earthquakes
in the canyon system, ensuring New Zealand is better prepared to respond to natural disasters in the future.
Landslides in the canyon are huge, up to four times the size of Wellington's Mount Victoria, and have
the potential to generate hazardous tsunami.
"We need to know two things - one is to understand how often they occur and the other is to model
the tsunami generation potential. This voyage will provide information on how often the landslides happen,
while NIWA and GNS Science are working together under the Natural Hazards Research Platform
to quantify the tsunami generation potential."
While there are several canyon systems in New Zealand, Cook Strait Canyon is one of the largest
and the closest to any major city. NIWA has mapped more than 150 individual landslides throughout
the Cook Strait canyon system, ranging in volume from 2.5 million cubic metres to approximately
ten cubic kilometres. Understanding the causes and recurrence of these landslides is part
of a long-term goal of quantifying the landslide tsunami risk to New Zealand's coastal communities.
The research is funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation under the "Consequences of Earth
Ocean Change and Impacts of Resource Use on Vulnerable Deep Sea Communities" programmes,
and through the Natural Hazards Research Platform.

QuoteAlpine Fault
The Alpine Fault, which runs for about 600km up the spine of the South Island,
is one of the world's major geological features. It's the "on-land" boundary of the Pacific
and Australian Plates.
(http://www.gns.cri.nz/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/media/images/nasa/19035-1-eng-GB/nasa_large.jpg)
QuoteThis fault has ruptured four times in the past 900 years, each time producing an earthquake
of about magnitude 8. Approximate rupture dates are 1717AD, 1620 AD, 1450 AD, and 1100 AD.
Recent research (published in 2012) by GNS Science has extended our knowledge of the Alpine fault earthquake
record back through the past 8000 years. Click here for more details of these findings.
Horizontal movement of the Alpine Fault is about 30m per 1000 years — very fast by global standards.
Each time it has ruptured, it has also moved vertically, lifting the Southern Alps in the process.
In the last 12 million years the Southern Alps have been uplifted by an amazing 20 kilometres,
and it is only the fast pace of erosion that has kept their highest point below 4000 metres.
The glaciers and rivers have removed the rest of the material and spread it out across the lowland plains
or onto the sea floor. The rapid uplift also means that faulted rock from deep down has been brought
to the surface, and can be studied by scientists.
The Alpine Fault has a high probability (estimated at 30%) of rupturing in the next 50 years.
The rupture will produce one of the biggest earthquakes since European settlement of New Zealand,
and it will have a major impact on the lives of many people. In between earthquakes, the Alpine Fault
is locked.
All these things mean that the Alpine Fault is a globally significant geological structure.

Matrix, I am going to be seriously unhappy if the ground opens up and swallows you.
Shasta
i agree.
Me too!!!!!
Thank you ALL for your concern. At present though things appear to be relatively quiet, except for all these
small shallow earthquakes around the rest of NZ.
I am certainly no expert in this field, :) but I am wondering why so many shallow earthquakes are occurring
right across NZ ?
I always thought our normal activity took place at a much deeper depth, than what we have been getting lately.
NZ experiences hundreds of small earthquakes every year, which is Normal for NZ.
But recently there have been hundreds of these smaller earthquakes, at depths between 5 km and 30 km.
(NOT "after shocks") springing up all over the country, many of which are not felt.
(around the Magnitude 1.5 to 3.0)
In the past it would get our attention, when sometimes shallow earthquakes occurred.
Most of of the shallow earthquakes appear around Seddon, (Near Cook Strait) but between these
we are getting many other small shallow Earthquakes, from the bottom of the South Island right up to White Island
on the north eastern coast.
When I get a moment I hope to obtain records over the last 20 years or so referring to only shallow earthquakes
of any magnitude, to see IF this has been going on over the past years or not.
Swarms of Earthquakes are fairly common in NZ but often deeper than these, I thought ?
It will be interesting to find out what the records say. Our perceptions can definitely mislead us. I get the feeling though, that your perceptions are pretty accurate on this.

My guess is that the ground acceleration is different.
In the case of the
4.1 Magnitude Earthquake (Moderate) 15 Km west of Christchurch today
the ground acceleration must have been low.
I know there is argument over identifying the strength of Earthquakes i.e. should we use "magnitude"
or "acceleration" scales (using an "Accelerometer") to record them.
I understand we can get
high magnitude earthquakes ,with either
low Acceleration or
high Acceleration rates.
And we can get low magnitude Earthquakes which can have
high acceleration rates.
As I pondered all of the reports you have been putting for us here Matrix, I was taken back to a conversation I had with an on line friend that worked for the USGS and he discussed the "Possibilities" of cause and effect's of different tectonic depth scenario's. One of these conversations led to a discussion of how 'Earthquake Liquefaction' is introduced to a known area of rather rocky or solidified terrestrial land masses.
For those of you that don't know "Earthquake Liquefaction" :
QuoteSoil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.
In soil mechanics the term "liquefied" was first used by Hazen[1] in reference to the 1918 failure of the Calaveras Dam in California. He described the mechanism of flow liquefaction of the embankment dam as follows:
If the pressure of the water in the pores is great enough to carry all the load, it will have the effect of holding the particles apart and of producing a condition that is practically equivalent to that of quicksand... the initial movement of some part of the material might result in accumulating pressure, first on one point, and then on another, successively, as the early points of concentration were liquefied.
The phenomenon is most often observed in saturated, loose (low density or uncompacted), sandy soils. This is because a loose sand has a tendency to compress when a load is applied; dense sands by contrast tend to expand in volume or 'dilate'. If the soil is saturated by water, a condition that often exists when the soil is below the ground water table or sea level, then water fills the gaps between soil grains ('pore spaces'). In response to the soil compressing, this water increases in pressure and attempts to flow out from the soil to zones of low pressure (usually upward towards the ground surface). However, if the loading is rapidly applied and large enough, or is repeated many times (e.g. earthquake shaking, storm wave loading) such that it does not flow out in time before the next cycle of load is applied, the water pressures may build to an extent where they exceed the contact stresses between the grains of soil that keep them in contact with each other. These contacts between grains are the means by which the weight from buildings and overlying soil layers are transferred from the ground surface to layers of soil or rock at greater depths. This loss of soil structure causes it to lose all of its strength (the ability to transfer shear stress) and it may be observed to flow like a liquid (hence 'liquefaction').
Although the effects of liquefaction have been long understood, it was more thoroughly brought to the attention of engineers after the 1964 Niigata earthquake and 1964 Alaska earthquake. It was also a major factor in the destruction in San Francisco's Marina District during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and in Port of Kobe during the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake. More recently liquefaction was largely responsible for extensive damage to residential properties in the eastern suburbs and satellite townships of Christchurch, New Zealand during the 2010 Canterbury earthquake[2] and more extensively again following the Christchurch earthquakes that followed in early and mid-2011.[3]
Soil liquefaction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_liquefaction)
My USGS friend thought that he may have the reasons why these event's occur when there has been no known report's of these event's in previous history or record. And if he is correct with how Island types of continental land masses eventually all acquire these events due to their Geological location's, "Could we be witnessing the 'Possibility' of that part of the world becoming one of these Soil Liquefaction sub tectonic boundaries?" ???
After all, it is prime real-estate for this type of scenario, and is reported around the world of have happening with these Earthquake liquefaction zones apparently out of the blue, there by leaving them virtually undetectable until it happens.
Has there ever been report's of this happening around your area in the past?
As always Matrix, sending you Protective Vibes my friend, and as the rest here have already extrapolated on, I don't want to see you get swallowed up by the ground my Friend. "Be safe and well." :D
1WW
Hi 1WW,
I suspect you friend might be correct.. :(
YES we had a lot of "
Liquefaction" occur during the Christchurch earthquake a couple of years ago.
Made a hell of a mess which took some time to clear.
I understand we had seismologists from around the globe come to Christchurch to view and study "
Liquefaction" !

Things seem to be quiet in Cook Strait for now thank goodness... and hopefully will remain that way..
I will carry on watching though, just to keep an eye on things as I still feel uneasy about the situation.
There are still many shallow earthquakes (hundreds) still occurring throughout NZ.
We normally do have activity, but not this shallow as I record.
Most appear between Magnitude
1.5 and
3.0 (Very small) with the odd one being a little stronger.
When I get a chance I will look into past history, and see how this activity today compares with the past.
I must point out I am
NOT predicting an Earthquake, but I am interested in RV to see
IF and WHEN
such an event as I saw through RV, does in fact eventuate.
It may never happen... but
IF it does, then I will look much closer at the event I saw take place through RV,
regarding the area South of Japan.
Hi 1ww,
I am relieved to hear you are feeling well, I know how treatment can knock one around. (from experience)
Re. Seismic activity in NZ Seismologists do seem to be alerted and perhaps a little concerned
about the possibility of a major Earthquake occurring in the Alpine Ridge referred to as the main divide
or Southern Alps as well as the Wellington area. This concern has been on going since the late 1970's.
Just after the Kaikoura UFO incident.
And Like I say I am NO expert but I do find the number of Shallow Earthquakes we have been having
may be different than we have experienced in the Past. I am positive the Earthquakes in the past
have been much deeper.
Its NOT the strength that interests me so much but rather the shallowness of these Earthquakes.
But my main interest of course involves "RV" and whether or NOT what is seen through "RV" does in fact
relate to future events or not.
I am still NOT totally convinced, that "RV" does in fact indicate future events !
So this is why I am watching.
As far as the RV part of your investigation goes, it is interesting, but I am more intrigued to watch these event's unfold as a form of retaining up to date knowledge of our ever changing planet.
I feel this is going to be a "Big Physical Change" era for us human's on this rock. I wish the whole Mayan Calendar misinterpretation has laid way for sleeping and disappointed doom and gloomer's prior to the factual event's intended by the Ancient Mayan culture. There by allowing a concerned societal cause and effects too be subsided into a state of dormant and ho-hum, which in turn allows us to be sleeping when we should be on guard for these physical changes with in our planet's tectonic and possible place with in the Cosmos.
I am not a "See'er" Either, but I do feel that our misinterpretation of what was going to happen has been side tracked by the let down of the whole 12/21/12 debacle.
For instance, back in April this year we had temps in the lower 80's, which is unheard of for our area, then, we went from the 80's to -10* over night, we had an Ice Storm that made trees adapting to the warm temps literally explode, it took months for the clean up and this event was Meteorologic-ally, that is and was Unheard of around here and has never happened before, we have had Ice storms per say, but this was like 2 1/2" of ice over a 3 day time period when temps dropped far enough for precipitation, was an absolute mess, but the incident, even now, sends shiver's up my spine as a sign of thing's to come.
I hope I have explained my point of view with clarity, Even 'Z' and I have discussed possible next evolutionary weather pattern's, and how Ice ages and global weather pattern's are something to be very concerned about, It has happen in the not so distant past, and it is sure to happen again, just have to watch for the sign's, whatever those sign's may be. ;)

I personally do suspect we are in for rather large changes, which involve the relocation of the seas on Earth.
It would appear this has happened a number of times in the Earths history, where the seas relocate
either side of the earths theoretical crust in a cyclic fashion. This time the seas will relocate under
the crust again... Re. my forum on this possible event.
We can find material about this recorded in ancient writings.
There was a program on TV last night about global warming and that Scientists have noted
our atmospheric temperatures have not risen over the last couple of years but the Oceans temperature
has continued to increase. Has them puzzled somewhat according to them. :)
The reason for this temperature rise, is due to the increase of internal energy in the planet, generated
within the planet, rather than the human input.
This I understand is due to the Earth's "Thermal Cycle" which in turn produces this cyclic transition of the oceans.
"Tectonics" (Generating Earthquakes) is driven by the thermodynamic behaviour of the Earth.

The small Wairarapa settlement of Lake Ferry is in one of several coastal areas exposed to a greater
tsunami risk than previously thought.
Candice Tipoki's family has lived in Lake Ferry for
160 years and they are well prepared for a tsunami.
"As long as we have the warning systems in place and as long as we follow the guidelines
and procedures that we've been given, I think everyone should be safe and be able to get out,"
Ms Tipoki said.
The new GNS Science research will force some local councils and civil defence authorities
to review their evacuation zones.
"Some of the earthquake sources around New Zealand, especially locally, can produce earthquakes
that are a bit bigger and that means the waves arriving in some places can be a bit bigger,"
Graham Leonard from GNS Science said.
This is because there is now more uncertainty about the maximum size of earthquakes
on plate boundaries, meaning some local and regional tsunamis could be larger than previously estimated.
No New Zealand coastal area is immune from tsunamis but areas that have had the maximum wave height
significantly increased include Northland; Great Barrier Island; the East Cape; Wairarapa; Auckland's
Manukau Harbour; the Coromandel (
4-10m) and Bay of Plenty in the North Island. And Southland;
Fiordland; Westland and Stewart Island all have greater risk in the South.
Evacuation zones under review
The findings come from a
220 page
GNS Science report commissioned by the Ministry for Civil Defence
and Emergency Management which updates a
2005 report. A tsunami generated by nearby
offshore ruptures now represents a higher threat while distant tsunami from across the Pacific are
a smaller threat than shown in
2005.
The report includes information gathered on the 2004 Indian Ocean,
2009 South Pacific
and
2011 Tohoku tsunamis. All were produced by quakes that were substantially larger
than had been considered likely at those locations.
In Auckland and Christchurch authorities are using the new data to review evacuation zones
but Wellington is up to date.
"Every 10 years you could expect somewhere in New Zealand to be hit by a tsunami
that's about a metre. But history shows that every 40 or 50 years there is what we would term
a 'dangerous tsunami'," the director of Civil Defence emergency management John Hamilton said.
Report compiler William Power, of
GNS Science, said it was impossible for estimates of size
and frequency to be exact but he said underplaying the danger would be irresponsible,
as it could put people at risk.
"It is likely that at least one such event will occur in the lifetime of most New Zealanders," he said.
In the capital, scientists say an earthquake from a nearby fault line could leave residents
as little as
10 minutes to evacuate if it triggered a tsunami but some waves will take up to 18 hours
to hit if the earthquake is in a country like Chile or Japan.
The report has not upgraded the chances of a tsunami and authorities are now developing
a national smart phone app that will help residents evacuate if a wall of water does hit.
The report, Review of Tsunami Hazard in New Zealand (
2013 Update), is available on the Ministry
of Civil Defence and Emergency Management website.
I hope you are not in one of those locations.
Hello Matrix,
Well, I am glad to here that TPB for the safety of their people and civilian's are taking the mentality standards of "Better safe then sorry" kind of stand. That is at least something to have in your benefit my friend.
As too when we were discussing a few posts back, and dealing with Ocean/Sea displacement, even if that were to take place, we would need the displacement of continental tectonic shift, Correct?
And if your gudbment and the GSN are monitoring these activities, where do they think these Tsunami's are originating from? I haven't went and checked the USGS for earthquake activity in Japan or Chile? Is that the real source of the tsunami's having potential of getting to the point of a Tsunami scenario Matrix?

Earthquake strikes near White IslandQuoteA magnitude 4.2 earthquake has struck near White Island, the steamy active volcano
in the eastern Bay of Plenty.
The quake at 3.45am was 5km shallow and centred between the Island and East Cape.
It is considered part of "normal" activity in the area, GNS duty seismologist Caroline Holden
told the New Zealand Herald. GeoNet described its intesity as moderate.
Early last night another quake of magnitude 4.6 struck off Tologa Bay, north of Gisborne,
after a 6.7 at the remote Kermadec islands.

History of Lake Taupo:
QuoteTaupo Volcano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taupo_Volcano
Volcano, lake, and caldera locations in the Taupo Volcanic Zone
Lake Taupo, in the centre of New Zealand's North Island, is the caldera of a large rhyolitic volcano.
This huge volcano has produced two of the world's most violent eruptions in geologically recent times.
The Taupo Volcano forms part of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, a region of volcanic activity that extends
from Ruapehu in the South, through the Taupo and Rotorua regions, to White Island, in the Bay of Plenty.
Taupo began erupting about 300,000 years ago, but the main eruptions that still affect
the surrounding landscape are the Oruanui eruption, about 26,500 years ago, that is responsible
for the shape of the modern caldera, and the Taupo Eruption, about 1,800 years ago. However,
there have been many more eruptions, with about one every thousand years or so.
The Size of Lake Taupo (Crater) is
616 km².
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Taupo.Volcanic.Zone.North.Island.NZ.JPG/427px-Taupo.Volcanic.Zone.North.Island.NZ.JPG)
Early History:
QuoteEarlier ignimbrite eruptions occurred further north than Taupo. Some of these were enormous,
and two eruptions around 1.25 and 1.0 million years ago were big enough to generate an ignimbrite sheet
that covered the North Island from Auckland to Napier.
While Taupo has been active for 300,000 years, explosive eruptions became more common 65,000 years ago.

I had an idea, but I don't know if it's possible to do it: gathering as much data from those shallow earthquakes and make a 3D representation of it.
I wonder if we could see something from that. :)

Something I would love to do & can... but I need to find the time to do it.
NZ is one area where both
2 Ridges and a Trench/s (One of which may be a plate fracture
are close together and in fact merge in the main divide known as the Southern Alps.
We have seismologists come from all over the world to see this area, many come from the US.
I think
IF there is going to be large Earthquake I think you will find it will occur in this area,
spreading up as far north as Wellington on the northeast side of Cook Strait or even further.
If such sink holes do appear, as I saw through "Remote Viewing", they will probably be the result
of "Subsidence" in Cook Strait most likely against the Northeast face.
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/Cook_Strait.jpg)
Regarding the Southern Alps, seismologists have reported the system is Locked unable to move at present
and are awaiting substantial movement in the future.
Here is an official report on the Alpine ridge in the South Island...
Well worth reading and has some maps and diagrams....
http://www.orc.govt.nz/Information-and-Services/Natural-Hazards/Great-Alpine-Fault-Earthquake/
(A Gov. Website)
QuoteImmediate societal consequences from the earthquake
A sudden onset national civil defence emergency of long duration will be called.
It is to be expected that medical services and other civil defence emergency services will be overwhelmed
and severely inhibited in their rescue efforts by the scale of damage to roads and buildings.
Overseas rescue and medical assistance will be required.
QuoteHow will the next great alpine fault earthquake happen?
This earthquake will occur with no recognisable warning.
The rupture of another faultline nearby may trigger it, but we will only know this afterwards.
The alpine fault earthquake will alter tectonic stress distribution, and other fault lines may rupture
in the days or years following it.
The length of the rupture will be up to 400 km, eg. on Haast and spreading north to Ahaura.
The earthquake will last for about two minutes.
The alpine fault may rupture along part of its length, with lower magnitude, and be followed shortly
by rupture of the rest.
Two very large earthquakes or a series of large earthquakes are also realistic scenarios.
QuoteThe magnitude of the earthquake
With an expected magnitude of 8+ this will be considered a "great earthquake"
not simply a strong one.
The force will result in a horizontal earth shift of up to 8 metres, and a vertical displacement of 4 metres.
The effects will be worst in West Otago, diminishing eastward.
Significant building damage can be expected in Queenstown. Damage in other parts of Otago
will be irregularly distributed depending on the aspect and topography. Less damage should occur
in Wanaka than Queenstown, much less in Cromwell. Some minor damage will occur in Dunedin.
QuoteWhat will happen to the earth during the earthquake?
The effects will be amplified in South Island mountainous regions and high country where enormous damage
can occur to peaks and ridges. Countless landslides can be expected of all sizes.
In areas where the magnitude is plus or minus 9, many tens of millions of cubic metres of rock
and scree may collapse from slopes.
Damaging aftershocks are likely to continue for several weeks afterwards and the event will have
disastrous consequences across many regions.
Less intense shaking will continue for months. Liquefaction and widespread ground damage will occur.

QuoteHey Matrix is there any relation to EQ in the anitpodes that correlates to Typhoons in the Equateral regions ?
Sorry I don't know Soma. :(
But I can say that I have found out that thermodynamics play a part in both these.
I hope to get around to adding a thread in my forum, discussing the behaviour of "Plate tectonics"
and "thermodynamics".
Just as weather is driven by thermodynamics which can be expressed by isobars or contours
of pressure gradients, so too we find a similar phenomena within the Earth's Crust and Mantle
also having thermal convections under the surface of the Earth.
But the changes within the Earth, may be over many years, rather than days as is the case
with our atmospheric weather.
But I think you will find a similar phenomena within the earth, as well as our atmosphere.
Perhaps our weather patterns are affected by these "thermal eddies" within the Earth ?
For us to understand both phenomena I believe we need to study the behaviour of thermodynamics
within the Earth itself. I don't know IF this is already being done or not but Scientists do study
such behaviour on the surface of our planet with regard to weather patterns.
We know thunder storms and tornadoes also involve the collision of Warm and Cold air,
especially as is seen in the case of tornado alley in the US.
So perhaps there may be a connection, but I suspect, only as far as the behaviour of thermodynamics
involving a
common origin i.e. the thermal environment within our planet.
But I am always willing to be educated... :)
Well that was a most facisinating post Mx as I don't know either! but thought it was worth throwing the question out there as it's kinda interesting and you have now made me think!

How is it possible for a planet not to have polar regions? ???
"Dynamics" and its Influence on Atmospheric behaviour as well as Internal.
Two odd rotating Planets in our Solar System, Venus and Uranus which rotates east to west
instead of west to east !
And the rotational Axis of Uranus points almost directly to the Sun !
If we look at the Dynamics one would expect Uranus to precess in its Orbit ?
QuotePrecession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body.
It can be defined as a change in direction of the rotation axis in which the second Euler angle
(nutation) is constant.
In physics, there are two types of precession: torque-free and torque-induced.
In astronomy, "precession" refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational
or orbital parameters, and especially to the Earth's precession of the equinoxes.
So we have much more to learn about Dynamics on a large scale and other things which influence
dynamic behaviour I guess..

Uranus: The Sideways Planet (http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/gallery/Uranus_2004_br.jpg)
10 Need-to-Know Things About Uranus:1. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, Earth would be the size of a nickel
and Uranus would be about as big as a baseball.
2. Uranus orbits our sun, a star. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun at a distance
of about 2.9 billion km (1.8 billion miles) or 19.19 AU.
3. One day on Uranus takes about 17 hours (the time it takes for Uranus to rotate or spin once).
Uranus makes a complete orbit around the sun (a year in Uranian time) in about 84 Earth years.
4. Uranus is a gas giant and therefore does not have a solid surface. The bulk (80 percent or more)
of the mass of Uranus is made up of a hot dense fluid of "icy" materials (water (H2O), methane
(CH4). and ammonia (NH3)), above a small rocky core.
5. Uranus has an atmosphere which is mostly made up of hydrogen (H2) and helium (He),
with a small amount of methane (CH4).
6. Uranus has
27 moons. Uranus' moons are named after characters from the works
of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope.
7. Uranus has faint rings. The inner rings are narrow and dark and the outer rings are brightly colored.
8. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus.
9. Uranus cannot support life as we know it.
10. Like Venus,
Uranus has a retrograde rotation (east to west).
Unlike any of the other planets, Uranus rotates on its side, which means it spins horizontally.Like Venus, Uranus rotates east to west.
Uranus' rotation axis is tilted almost parallel to its orbital plane,
so Uranus appears to be rotating on its side.This situation
may be the result of a collision with a planet-sized body early in the planet's history,
which apparently radically changed Uranus' rotation.
(Personally I Don't Think so NASA... :). May I suggest it has more to do with Dynamics.)
Because of Uranus' unusual orientation, the planet experiences extreme variations in sunlight
during each 20-year-long season.
The first planet found with the aid of a telescope, Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer
William Herschel, although he originally thought it was a comet or star.
The seventh planet from the Sun is so distant that it takes 84 years to complete one orbit.
(http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/gallery/uracolor12A_br.jpg)
Voyager 2, the only spacecraft to visit Uranus, imaged a bland-looking sphere in 1986.
When Voyager flew by,
the south pole of Uranus pointed almost directly at the sun
because Uranus was near its southern summer solstice, with
the southern hemisphere
bathed in continuous sunlight and the northern hemisphere radiating heat into the blackness of space.
(http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/gallery/Uranus_IR732X520.jpg)
Uranus reached equinox in December 2007, when it was fully illuminated as the sun passed over
the planet's equator. By 2028,
the north pole will point directly at the sun, a reversal of the situation
when Voyager flew by.
Equinox also brings ring-plane crossing, when Uranus' rings appear to move more and more edge-on
as seen from Earth.
The Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii captured detailed images of Uranus
as the planet approached equinox. While Voyager 2 saw only a few discrete clouds, more recent observations
reveal that Uranus exhibits dynamic clouds as it approaches equinox, including rapidly evolving bright features
and
a new Great Dark Spot like those seen on Neptune.
(http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/gallery/Hubble_Uranus-732X520.jpg)
Uranus is one of the two ice giants of the outer solar system (the other is Neptune).
The atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water
and ammonia.
Uranus gets its blue-green color from methane gas in the atmosphere.
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and is reflected back out by Uranus' cloud tops.
Methane gas absorbs the red portion of the light, resulting in a blue-green color.
The bulk (80 percent or more) of the mass of Uranus is contained in an extended liquid core
consisting mostly of icy materials (water, methane, and ammonia).
For nearly a quarter of the Uranian year (equal to 84 Earth years),
the sun shines directly over each pole,
plunging the other half of the planet into a long, dark winter.
While magnetic fields are typically in alignment with a planet's rotation, Uranus' magnetic field is tipped over:
the magnetic axis is tilted nearly 60 degrees from the planet's axis of rotation, and is also offset from the center
of the planet by one-third of the planet's radius.
The magnetic fields of both Uranus and Neptune are very irregular.
Uranus has two sets of rings. The inner system of nine rings, discovered in 1977, consists mostly of narrow,
dark rings. Voyager 2 found two additional inner rings.
An outer system of two more-distant rings was discovered in Hubble Space Telescope images in 2003.
In 2006, Hubble and Keck observations showed that the outer rings are brightly colored.
Uranus has 27 known moons, named for characters from the works of William Shakespeare or Alexander Pope.
Miranda is the strangest-looking Uranian moon: its complex surface may indicate partial melting of the interior,
with icy material drifting to the surface.
So to fully understand Earthquakes I believe that the Dynamics involving the rotation of the Planet
has a direct affect on "Tectonics", "Earthquakes" and "Atmospheric" behaviour.

The "Strong" and "Moderate" descriptions I think they may be based on "Ground Acceleration", rather than "Magnitude" ?
In other words we can have a high magnitude Earthquake which can either have a high or low ground acceleration.
The higher ground acceleration reflects the sharpness while lower acceleration, being more of a rolling type Earthquake I guess ?
The higher the ground acceleration, the more violent it feels, and the more damage done to buildings.
I understand that different Earthquakes have different wave profiles.
But I am
NO expert in this area. :)

Here you go ArMap, maybe a bit for the math !! LOL But, it is interesting how they got it all figured out. May answer some other Question's you may have as well, also think it fair to mention that depending on the different strata of the geological EQ affected areas, it can lean to both sides of the Richter scale as far as I can deduce.
Measuring the Size of an Earthquake (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/measure.php)
Hope this helps ArMap.
@ Matrix, have been watching from a distance my friend, lets just hope we can see some calming of the land before too long here, not sure if there has been incidences of these types of shallow/Deep quakes before in your area, but note worthy to keep watching for sure. Just as long as you are safe Matrix and civilians a like. ;)

Richter Scale:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale
QuoteThe Richter magnitude scale (often shortened to Richter scale) was developed to assign
a single number to quantify the energy released during an earthquake.
The scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale. The magnitude is defined as the logarithm of the ratio
of the amplitude of waves measured by a seismograph to an arbitrary small amplitude.
An earthquake that measures 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times larger
than one that measures 4.0, and corresponds to a 31.6 times larger release of energy.

Hi Flux,
Thank you for your Valued feedback...
Feedback is very important, so we can get a true picture on what's going on.
Nice to have you back Matrix :)
Never heard it coming just felt the movement as described. Lasted for about 10 seconds.
I think the reporting of some of these seismic events, are slightly overrated from what I see.
It sounds like the Moderate Earthquakes should be referred to as Light Earthquakes instead.
Perhaps they should rate Earthquakes on "Ground Surface Acceleration" rather than "Magnitude" ?
Then we might get a truer idea of the impact of these Earthquakes on our lives ?

I would love to get a Geological picture of
WHAT is exactly happening at this
Shallow Depth
with regard to land movement and the mechanics of
HOW the Earthquakes are being caused.
i.e. are their cavities involving subsidence in the earth at this depth, or are these earthquakes
being caused by a Shear action ?
HOW much movement and
WHAT amount of land (Length) is involved in a localised area
would take place, to produce these Earthquakes ?
We are only told the Magnitude and Focal area ! If some length and depth is involved
in these shear actions,
HOW do they determine a focal location ?
Is it taken from the
average location of the seismic activity or the Most intense location or what ?
And especially the Ground acceleration involved both at the source and at the surface ?
NZ's plate boundary zone(http://www.gns.cri.nz/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/media/images/ground-deformation-map_large/26055-1-eng-GB/Ground-deformation-map_large_large.jpg)
QuoteAlmost all of New Zealand is in the deforming plate boundary zone, where reasonably steady deformation is occurring all the time.
Plate boundary zones are the zones of interaction between adjacent plates where they collide, pull apart or slide past each other. These zones may be anything from a few kilometres to a few hundred kilometres wide.
It is the motion between these two plates, and the deformation that occurs in the boundary zone between the plates, that has given rise to much of New Zealand's geology as we see it today. The deformation and squashing caused by the collision of the two great plates has caused mountain ranges to rise throughout the country.
Some mountain ranges are still rising, and the interplay between the tectonic forces pushing the mountains up and gravity trying to pull them down means that landslides are a common occurrence over much of New Zealand.
Deformation is also the fundamental cause of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that are such important natural features of New Zealand.

Deformation of New Zealand(http://www.gns.cri.nz/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/media/images/velomodel/26067-1-eng-GB/velomodel_large.gif)
QuoteReasonably steady deformation - squashing, stretching, rotation and twisting - is occurring in the plate boundary zone all the time, even during the time periods between major earthquakes.
These deformations, which amount to less than 1 millimetre per kilometre each year, are very small. But over tens or hundreds of years, and over distances of tens or hundreds of kilometres, they build up to amplitudes of many metres. It is generally when the deformation has built up to large levels that the rocks of the Earth's crust can't stand the strain any more, and the rocks break as earthquakes along geological faults.
http://www.gns.cri.nz/Home/Our-Science/Earth-Science/Plate-Tectonics/Deformation-of-NZ
Measuring deformationQuoteA combination of continuous GPS at widely separated sites and occasional GPS surveys in dense regional networks is used to monitor New Zealand's deformation.
By analysing many repeated historical survey measurements, scientists in New Zealand had by the mid-1980s put together a picture of how the country - squished within the Australian-Pacific plate boundary zone - is deforming today. But this was a picture based on 100 years of survey measurements, which only gave an average picture of the deformation over the last 100 years.
The development of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in the early 1990s allowed scientists and geodetic surveyors to make repeat GPS measurements at many hundreds of points throughout New Zealand.
Today, continuous GPS is used to permanently and continuously monitor deformation in near real-time.

According to GNS Science NZ....
One part of NZ in the South (South Island)
the Australian plate passes UNDER the Pacific Pate
while in the North Island
the Australian Plate passes OVER the Pacific Plate ? ? ?
While in the Centre of the North Island
the Plates are Pulling apart !

Foreshocks and Aftershocks
QuoteForeshocks are smaller earthquakes that may occur in the same area
as a larger earthquake that follows.
They are caused by minor fracturing of rocks under stress prior to the main break that happens during
the largest earthquake of the series, called the mainshock.
Foreshocks can start up to a year before the mainshock, as was the case before the three large
(magnitudes between 6.3 and 6.7) earthquakes near Tennant Creek in January 1988.
Not all earthquakes have foreshocks, and sometimes a series of similar sized earthquakes,
called an earthquake swarm, happens over months without being followed by a significantly
larger mainshock.
This limits the usefulness, at this stage, of foreshocks in earthquake prediction.
QuoteAftershocks are smaller earthquakes that may occur after the mainshock, in the same area.
They are caused by the mainshock area readjusting to the fault movement, and some may be
the result of continuing movement along the same fault.
The largest aftershocks are usually at least half a magnitude unit smaller than the mainshock
and the aftershock sequence may continue for months or years after the mainshock.
Not all earthquakes have aftershocks – the magnitude 5.6 Newcastle earthquake in 1989
only had one aftershock, which was very small with a magnitude of 2.1.
Occasionally, small earthquakes with magnitudes between 3.0 and 3.5 have aftershocks.
This has been observed in the Dalton-Gunning area, north of Canberra.

What interests me in NZ is
NOT so much the "Magnitude", but rather the Depth these Earthquakes
are occurring at?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Rotorua
QuoteThe lake was formed from the crater of a large volcano in the Taupo Volcanic Zone.
Its last major eruption was about 240,000 years ago. After the eruption, the magma chamber
underneath the volcano collapsed. The circular depression left behind is the Rotorua Caldera,
which is the site of the lake. Several other lakes of volcanic origin are located nearby to the east,
around the base of the active volcano Mount Tarawera.

Good thing they are deep.
Would be a bit more worried if they were shallow and centred closer or under the city :o
Having those two so close to one another is odd?
Apparently there has been damage we should get it all on the News tonight...
Nothing on TV as yet ? ? ? apart from reporting it was a Sever Earthquake...
We only felt the 1st 2 Earthquakes here haven't felt any others.
I'm glad I'm shifting to the North of the North Island...
And yes you don't often get 2 earthquakes together separated by a few K/m's... a little odd.

Who knows really I mean the guys who do all the testing and research are still scratching their heads down here.
Looks like minor damages but I would be asking questions about how the eagle came loose? I thought Wellington was up to speed on getting everything EQ sorted? It only takes one person to say the old 'She'll be right mate!' and you'll have a meal on your hands.
Don't get me started with EQC they have burnt all their money down here in Christchurch and no more to go around. 3 years after the quakes and people are still waiting for them to sort out their claims/mess. I feel sorry for the rest of the people of NZ who don't understand that they really are not covered by their insurance. When you have to get an Engineer, a QS and a solicitor to prove in court what your insurance policy covers/states then there is something wrong with the system. Guide lines have been put in place for EQC and insurance to wiggle their way out of honoring their policy. If you start to dig around the internet about the Christchurch quake and EQC/insurance claims you'll start to see the full picture.

I have to agree with you it appears to be a bl%$y mess down there re. claims.
And you are right about that insurance and attitude in the North Island.
I hate to say it but think we are just seeing the start of all this... :(
There are many others who feel the same in Wellington and I guess there
will be a few more now...
People are just going to have to be careful and be safe !
Gvt. has warnings out and we have been expecting "The BIG ONE"
for some
30+ years and I hate to say it but I think it is knocking at the Door.
So I hope people are prepared and keep their wits about them...
If we ignore the warnings We only invite danger !
I for one, hate earthquakes... We can do without them thank you...
But we have to be realistic and "
LEARN" !

Felt that one. Properly wouldn't of felt it if I wasn't half asleep in bed.
Thanks for the "feed back" Flux it gives a more realistic view of what's going on ...
I think the term "Moderate" should be changed to "weak" ?
What do you recon ?
Now that I am living much further North, I haven't felt any more Earthquakes. :)
Whereas before I was feeling them on a daily routine .. :(
Well the house is still standing and no cracks in the interior lining joints ;)
The thing is you get used to it so if someone wasn't from around here would be shit scared of the shake but to me it's not that much of a problem.

All constantly very shallow? :o
Quote from: Flux on March 24, 2014, 07:33:39 PM
All constantly very shallow? :o
Yea they're shallow alright and this what interests me ....
NOT so much the magnitude.
I notice that when a very deep Earthquake some
300 Km down, occurs during these
Shallow ones
more often than not, a larger Earthquake takes place or follows in the shallower regions...
Also noted overseas in other Countries, but No reliable theories connecting these have yet
to be claimed.
I still hold the feeling all these
Shallow Earthquakes are leading up to something Major
about to take place in
NZ.
Don't take this as any form of Prediction, but rather as a curiosity involving the seismic mechanics.
The other Interest, involves my experiences with
RV and the understanding and reliability ?
Referring to
RV its a bit like looking at a huge Tree, where there are billions of "Options" or "time lines"
accessible at any one moment !
In other words there is
NOT a single path, involving the so called Future.
Our experience is more like that of a "
1st Person" Computer Game, where the "boundaries" are firmly set,
but the Path we take can be one of
billions within those "Boundaries".
And the path taken, seems to be very much an individual one decided by our choices just like
in those "
1st Person" Video games !

I knew you would ask me that :)
No never felt that one at all and it's not that far from me.
Those Kea's are cheeky :)
I have spent many days/weeks skiing in the Craigieburn ranges in my younger years.
My mothers side of the family came from the Christchurch area.
I have fond memories of your area. :)
Kea's used to nick anything shiny...
There were heaps of them back then but I understand they are now on the Endangered species list ? :(
Yes it's on the endangered listed with some of them still being shot by people for some reason. I know they make a mess of the cars when they are parked up (picking off pieces of rubber and pulling other items off them :) )
Hows it going up north Matrix? You've had rapid hits in the Waipukurau area :o
Fortunately we haven' t felt any up this way, its so good
NOT to feel them anymore. :)

Hi Matrix!
As you know in June I will be in your most amazing land known as middle earth to some!
As I have been sat here trying to plan my holiday in June to NZ I do have to say that i am quite amazed at how many hot Spring's are in NZ. I'm in heaven thinking of the short trip I will have across the ditch but in saying so i can see your concern fully.
Regarding your method of seeing things that may become future... I must ask whether you see NZ as a starting point of a Zipper that unzips the crust/rim of fire so to speak?
PS on a funny side in my searching NZ for my holiday I have found that I keep visiting hell. Wanna Hot Spring, visit Hell's Gate, Want a Vegan Pizza, go to Hell Pizza... I'm surprised Christianity ever gained any traction with that sort of thinking LOL ;D
Hi Somma,
I think Kiwi Land is full of Questioning about many things..... hence those great pioneers,
such as
William H. Pickering;
QuoteBiography
Scientist (c. 1910–c. 2004)
William Pickering was a rocket scientist who oversaw many American forays into space in the 1950-1970s.
Synopsis
In 1944, New Zealander William Pickering joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
which he went on to direct (1954-76).
He oversaw the first orbit of the Earth by an American satellite (1958), the first American soft landings
on the Moon, the first mission to orbit Mars (Mariner IX) and the first missions to Venus and Mercury (Mariner X).
He received an honorary knighthood in 1976.

Ernest RutherfordQuoteHe is widely credited with first "splitting the atom" in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen
and alpha particles, in which he also discovered (and named) the proton.

Sir Brian Gerald Barratt-Boyes who achieved fame in 1958 when he performed
New Zealand's first open-heart surgery at Green Lane Hospital, Auckland.
QuoteHe assembled a team that was at the forefront of heart surgery and pioneered new surgical techniques
involving the replacement of defective heart valves.

Richard PearseQuoteRichard William Pearse (3 December 1877 – 29 July 1953) was a New Zealand farmer and inventor who performed pioneering experiments in aviation.
It is claimed Pearse flew and landed a powered heavier-than-air machine on 31 March 1903, some nine months before the Wright brothers flew their aircraft. The documentary evidence to support such a claim remains open to interpretation, and Pearse did not develop his aircraft to the same degree as the Wright brothers, who achieved sustained controlled flight. Pearse himself never made such claims, and in an interview he gave to the Timaru Post in 1909 only claimed he did not "attempt anything practical...until 1904"
Pearse himself was not a publicity-seeker and also occasionally made contradictory statements,
which for many years led some of the few who knew of his feats to offer 1904 as the date of his first flight.
The lack of any chance of industrial development, such as spurred the Wrights to develop their machine,
seems to have suppressed any recognition of Pearse's achievements.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Pearse
Sir Charles William "Bill"
Feilden Hamilton OBE (26 July 1899 – 30 March 1978)
Bill Hamilton
Quotewas a New Zealander who developed the modern jetboat, and founder of what is now the world's
leading water jet manufacturing company - CWF Hamilton Ltd.
Hamilton never claimed to have invented the jet boat. He once said "I do not claim to have invented
marine jet propulsion.
The honour belongs to a gentleman named Archimedes, who lived some years ago." What he did was refine the design enough to produce the first useful modern jet boat.
Scientists claimed his designs, involving lifting water out of a river and delivering it as a jet of water
out the back could not possibly work.
Today we have Hamilton Jet unites all over the world. I guess they were wrong.

Interesting.
Thank you once again for you Valued feed back.
Something is definitely leading up to something.
I agree with scientists that unfortunately "the big one" is coming !
My thoughts are with, where will this take place, the Wellington Area (in Cook Strait) on in the "Main divide"
in the South Island.
And what these Earthquakes are really the result of, I mean the "Root" cause.
We know it has to do with Plate activity but the mechanics producing this, may be a little different at present.
My thoughts about the "
Sinkholes" I saw occur in Wellington, through
R.M. haven't changed !
It will be interesting to see if I pass along this option, what we interpret as being our future.
You haven't RV'd anything regarding the Alpine Fault line (Main Divide) of the South Island?

Thank you for your valued feedback once again Flux.
Moderate
Definition of the word;
Average in amount, intensity, quality, or degree.
I wonder what the average is based on ?
Perhaps Not just/only intensity is taken into account, but also the number over a period of time ?
I scratch my head often regarding that.
Severe is enough to lift a building at a guess 200-300mm (riding the shock wave) based on the one's that destroyed most of the city where I live. This is going by what it felt like when I was inside a building at the time of the big quake. Interior was trashed with items spread every where, exterior when I got out side was creaking and groaning and you could watch the 30 meter long concrete drive way slide around shifting from the house foundations and curb.

Hundreds of other small earthquakes take place here but are usually either Light, Weak, or unnoticeable.
Some have been very strong but often
150 - 300 km deep, so you can see that
5 km deep is very, very
Shallow !Some more recently have been, as Shallow as
2 km deep
!
Thought I would bring this little earthquake to your attention.
It occurred at a depth of 548 km quite out of place with regards
to the Shallow Earthquakes we have been having lately.
The Depth of it rather interests me, as often Large Earthquakes follow an extremely deep Earthquake.
The mechanics behind this are still NOT fully understood by Seismologists as of yet,
and much research is being done in this area.

Interesting you note the depth Matrix as I've just returned from Kiwi Land (want to go back ASAP) and I endured an onslaught of rain for three day's which ruined my planned Mountain Biking on Rotorua >:( ;D
Is rainfall linked to lack of earthquake activity?
And for anyone from other place's in the world I must say that I now do understand where Matrix is coming from in this thread after spending a week in Kiwi Land.

Nice one Thor !
Another thing I now get in regards to Matrix is what he say's in regard's to looking at the sun or moon. In Nz you are either traveling up or down, and for whatever reason which I don't know, looking at the sun in NZ is much more gentle than Oz !
I would recommend sun block when visiting Nz in the summer time Somamech ;)
Nz sun is harsh and can burn you in a very short time frame.
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Kiwi land.
Hi Thor,
Shows the Western and South western picture of the ring of fire (2nd to last Image)
But the 1st hides the pattern involving the "Ring of Fire".
However the 2nd to last Image you posted exposes the pattern involving the "Ring of Fire" ...
I still recon the area to watch, is between Japan down to NZ as indicated by the 2nd to last
Image you posted. :)
Especially Japan !
We have also just had a swarm of very deep Earthquakes, small but indicate some deep activity
now taking place.
Still getting many Very Shallow earthquakes some even more Shallow than 5 km ?
Most are unfelt with many week and some light, all shallower than 10 km ?
Boing! :o

As my interest involves the depth of Earthquakes we have just had another very deep Earthquake
Only a Magnitude: 3.6 in magnitude but the Depth is of interest.
It occurred at a depth of 416 km one of a few over the last week.
Most we have been having are at a depth between 2 km and 16 km with the od one between 100 km
and 150 km, usually unnoticeable.
So it is quite a big jump down to the 400 km mark. :-\

Here are some interesting comments regarding
very deep earthquakes:
http://geology.about.com/od/earthquakes/a/aa_deeEQs.htm
1st the environmentQuoteThe Earth gets hotter by about 1 degree C with each 100 meters of depth on average.
Combine that with high pressure underground and it's clear that by about 50 kilometers down,
on average the rocks should be too hot and squeezed too tight to crack and grind the way they do
at the surface.
Thus deep-focus quakes, those below 70 km, demand an explanation.
QuoteThus there are plenty of candidates for the energy behind deep earthquakes at all depths
between 70 and 700 km—perhaps too many.
And the roles of temperature and water are important at all depths as well, though not precisely known.
As scientists say, the problem is still poorly constrained.
QuoteDeep Earthquake Details
There are a few more significant clues about deep-focus events.
One is that the ruptures proceed very slowly, less than half the speed of shallow ruptures,
and they seem to consist of patches or closely spaced subevents.
Another is that they have few aftershocks, only one-tenth as many as shallow quakes do.
And they relieve more stress; that is, the stress drop is generally much larger for deep than shallow events.
Until recently the consensus candidate for the energy of very deep quakes was the phase chang
from olivine to olivine-spinel, or transformational faulting.
The idea was that little lenses of olivine-spinel would form, gradually expand and eventually connect
in a sheet. Olivine-spinel is softer than olivine, therefore the stress would find an avenue of sudden release
along those sheets. Layers of melted rock might form to lubricate the action, similar to superfaults
in the lithosphere, the shock might trigger more transformational faulting, and the quake would slowly grow.
Then the great Bolivia deep earthquake of 9 June 1994 occurred, a magnitude 8.3 event
at a depth of 636 km.
Many workers thought that to be too much energy for the transformational faulting model to account for.
Other tests have failed to confirm the model.
But not all agree.
Since then, deep-earthquake specialists have been trying new ideas, refining old ones, and having a ball.
There has just been a

It's been some time since I posted in this forum, but I thought it Prudent to bring to others attention,
there appears to have been a sudden behaviour
change in our daily earthquakes !
We are now getting Earthquakes between
200 km to
700 km deep, most between
200 km and
350 km.
Very few shallow earthquakes felt, yesterday and today in
NZ.

That's an interesting change, too bad I don't have the slightest idea why it happened. :(
Stay safe. :)
Hi ArMap... I will do my best to stay safe I appreciate any concern on your part.
I am still watching very closely every day, and will report any further changes.
I find the behaviour of the Earths crust fascinating Armap.
Still be interesting to see IF my R.V. experience comes to fruition or Not. :-\
I don't really want it to..... but if it is to..... as I am unable to do anything about
I may gain more understanding regarding the mechanics of this Program. (Earth) :)

There appears to be
many more Earthquakes occurring between
150 km and
400 km deep though.
The
Shallow ones continue, at but much lower magnitudes. (Far fewer being felt)
I don't know whether this is good or not ?
But the change in behaviour is interesting.

NOT felt) But I feel they indicate something building up

Same here. Christchurch has had it's big nudge for now so it would be the safest place in New Zealand to live due to all the demolished buildings that failed and brand new ones being built or strengthened. Time will tell if the rest of the country has taken notice of what happen here and have strengthen their buildings up to the required code.
I'm sure you will see some doom and gloom photos of peoples losses if they didn't.
I work for a structural engineering company as a structural inspector for residential houses and small commercial buildings so I'm right in the thick of it.

Excellent photos Flux. Hell you are right at the front of it all being a structural inspector for residential houses
and small commercial buildings.
I here there are still issues around 'Insurance Claims' in the Christchurch areas and some of the Red zones
are still being sorted out ?
My grandparents had a house in Christchurch, which fortunately suffered very minor damage.
This information came from a cousin who visited there, shortly after the Earthquake, to take a look at the old property.
When I shifted into the Auckland area, I thought we would get away from other earthquakes, taking place
in the Wellington and Central areas, but now the activity seems to have followed me up here ... :(
Yes I was inspecting houses while the after shocks were still happening. Still finding issues with property's after they have been 'EQC' repaired ::)
Still doing inspections today and many more to come.
Insurance claims are one of the biggest thing's holding the rebuild up. Red zones were created to bale out the insurance companies. You need to research into the details but there is a lot of corruption going on here which the rest of the country isn't informed of.
'My grandparents had a house in Christchurch, which fortunately suffered very minor damage'.
So says EQC. Wouldn't trust them as far as I could spit. Countless times we call them out on their scoped repair work accessed by hairdressers, ex-police officers and whoever else had good communication skills. Yup that's right you just have to have 'good communication skills' to work for EQC as an inspector and not have any building or engineering knowledge. They were payed $4000nzd a week plus car, accommodation, food etc on top.
I once walked into a house to do a structural engineering inspection and there were 2 EQC inspectors there. One was sitting at the kitchen bench having a lovely cup of tea and a cookie and turn to me and asked 'what's that for' pointing at my spirit level in my hand, I said it's what I use to check wall leans and floor levels with, he just laughs and says 'I would use one of those' ::)
EQC never checked for wall leans. The use their eyes only :o
I tell you a lot has been hidden/covered up with government PR shit making it sound like everything is swell and dandy.
People are in for a shock whenever the big one hits because there is no money left in the EQC purse and the re-insurancers will pull out of NZ (one reason the red zone was created to keep them here so they didn't pull out of NZ after the first lot of quakes).

I suspected as much. :(
Sadly I still think that big one is yet to come. Its not a matter of when but
where.
I just hope, what I saw in
RV re. Wellington is
NOT necessarily going to happen.
I hope so reg Wellington as well.
'She'll be right' attitude won't work and the number 8 wire won't either.
Alaska is currently experiencing a earthquake swarm following a record for the area 6.4 earthquake, the activity for this area is unusual, especially with there being the record 6.4.
It has followed on from the swarm in hawaii and indonesia, one area calms down and a new area lights up with earthquake swarms.
Makes me wonder.

That's normal.
is anyone else following all the earthquakes?. there was a 8.2 at fiji Depth 563.4 km.
and many other big earthquakes.
@SoulJourney :)
I check this site from time to time,and it doesnt appear to me to be very differant from a few weeks back - I could be wrong, but the only thing that is differant is the swarm of earthquakes in the Pacific near NZ

Thanks SoulJourney, I wonder how they measure the uplift in the different countries - like they did with Banda Acha (probably wrong spelling) , the Japan 2011 earthquake and this one - genuinely curious what mechanisms they use ?? :-\

The best seismic monitor in my opinion is IRIS SEISMON
It ignores all the thousands of quakes below 4.0 (as they are minor and occur constantly)

My BIG question is...
Since the US coast is part of the ring of fire, and the rest of that ring has been extremely active with 8.0 and higher quakes in the last few years...
WHY is it so quiet on the US coast?

Scientists believe California is long overdue a major earthquake, i think there is just a lull with america (though there are small quakes in the usa).
Kaktovik alaska is very active with a current earthquake swarm at the moment, if this is biblical aka the processing system matrix talks about, it would be intelligent as to why and where the earthquake activity is at present, would be just working out the pattern like the matrix traveller had done somewhat with remote viewing.

In the stage of editing my article right now so hopefully others will be able to follow my understanding.
I have found a huge amount of Scientific data on the Net as well as ancient history which appears to support
what I discovered. :)
So I will be using pictures and other material from off the net.
I have even located the area, where what I saw through "Remote Viewing" the next relocation of the seas
starts to take place.
It starts this time in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Subduction....

Guys/Gals, do any of you know if there is any truth to a comment I heard recently (today) that when Richter died the very next year the USGS downgraded and redefined the Magnitude by a whole factor, making a Magnitude 8 into a Magnitude 7 ??? :-\
Cheers,
Fans' :)
I doubt it, the Richter scale is the result of a formula that was published in 1935 and is not owned by the USGS.
Also, I witnessed several (maybe 7 or 8) earthquakes, the first in 1969, and the intensity and magnitude of the earthquake is compatible with the ones I have felt since then, the last some 5 or 6 years ago.

'Big One' talk swirls as 69 massive earthquakes hit the Pacific's Ring of Fire in 48 hoursChris Ciaccia 5 hrs ago
QuoteA large swath of earthquakes hit the Pacific's "Ring of Fire" earlier this week, prompting some to wonder if it is a precursor to the oft-discussed massive earthquake, colloquially known as "the Big One."
Sixty-nine earthquakes, including 16 tremors registering 4.5 or above on the Richter scale, recently hit the area known as the "Ring of Fire," according to the U.S. Geological Survey, which recorded the events, but did not issue a warning.
Several of the quakes registered significant impacts, including one that hit 5.0 and shook the area on Tuesday morning. Fiji appeared to be the most impacted, as five tremors above a 4.5 magnitude hit the small island.
Luckily, the earthquakes did not reach the western coast of the U.S., which partially sits on the Cascadia subduction zone, a fault that stretches from mid-Vancouver Island to Northern California. The recent tremors have sparked concern that "the Big One" could be near, according to the Daily Mail, but the USGS has made no mention of this.
Of the 69 earthquakes, 53 hit the area on Sunday, followed by the 16 subsequent tremors, impacting Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and the aforementioned Fiji.
"The Big One"
"The Big One" is often described as an earthquake with a magnitude 8 or above, causing massive destruction to California, which some have said is overdue for a an earthquake of this magnitude. California sits on the San Andreas fault, a 750-mile fault that has been responsible for some of the state's most devastating earthquakes.
The last earthquake that came close to a 8.0 magnitude in California was the great earthquake of 1906, which hit a magnitude of 7.9 and shook San Francisco to the ground, destroying 80 percent of the city and resulted in 3,000 deaths.
A massive earthquake registering 8.2 was registered on Sunday, hitting 174 miles north-northeast of Ndoi Island, Fiji, according to the the USGS. Luckily, the massive quake did not cause any significant damage, hitting at a depth of 347.7 miles, too deep to cause a tsunami.
"We are monitoring the situation and some places felt it, but it was a very deep earthquake," Director Apete Soro told Reuters in an interview.
CALIFORNIA MEGA-EARTHQUAKE FEAR: IS THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT AT RISK OF THE 'BIG ONE?'
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/06/21/california-mega-earthquake-fear-is-san-andreas-fault-at-risk-big-one.html
The Ring of Fire
The Ring of Fire is a 25,000 mile horseshoe shaped ring, accounting for approximately 90 percent of the world's earthquakes, according to the USGS.
The region also contains 452 volcanoes, more than 75 percent of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.
Though the USGS did not issue a warning, the recent spat of earthquakes in the Ring of Fire could eventually cause some problems for the western part of the U.S. and other close regions.
Speaking with Vox in February, University of California Santa Cruz professor Emily Brodsky said "earthquakes and volcanoes can interact," before adding it's unclear how much the string of earthquakes we've seen in recent months are connected. Brodsky also said that having quakes and volcanic eruptions at the same time in an active area is not unusual.

In late July, a string of recent earthquakes off the West Coast of the U.S., ranging from 2.8 to 5.6 on the Richter scale, also raised questions of whether the "Big One" could be near.

I do hope that there is not going to be a massive movement(s) along the Continental USA West Coast, although some reports say that it is well over-due, hopefully swarms will reduce loading pressures and allow for a more benign EQ outlook for that affected region.

If memory serves me correctly (which it probably doesn't :P) I can't recall a lot of seismic activity on the US left coast since the big boy that caused the tsunami that ate Fukashima;
perhaps all the activity on the far side of the ring of fire is relieving enough stress and pressure to keep this side of it somewhat stable

New Zealand has been quiet as well for the last few years.
Would be good if The Matrix traveller would start posting again, i am sure he has seen more with Remote Viewing, regarding all of this.
