I would love to know WHY so many of these Earthquakes are so Shallow mainly around
the 5 km depth.

We have many earthquakes in NZ usually deeper though .... Most are so small they are Not worth mentioning, so I am only showing the moderate and Stronger Earthquakes.

Just been another very Shallow moderate Earthquake 15 km east of Christchurch
and a magnitude of 3.4

This one was under the Sea 'Flux', 15 km from Christchurch, did you feel it ?

Public Id: 2014p382140
NZST: Thursday, May 22 2014 at 9:24:29 pm
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 8 km
Magnitude: 3.4
Location:  15 km east of Christchurch

[Flux]

Yes I did.

Very quick sharp vibration for about 2 seconds. Not normally what you would feel.

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.

[Flux]

You haven't RV'd anything regarding the Alpine Fault line (Main Divide) of the South Island?

[The Matrix Traveller]

Not as yet ....

Not as yet .... 

So can I book you in for RV next week then?
Wouldn't mind a heads up so I can sort some things out

Another Shallow Moderate Earthquake only 10 km Deep, 25 km east of Methven
and a magnitude of 3.8.

I wonder if 'Flux' felt this one, as Methven is inland and slightly south of Christchurch ...


Public Id: 2014p393232
NZST: Monday, May 26 2014 at 11:54:12 pm
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 10 km
Magnitude: 3.8
Location:  25 km east of Methven.

[Flux]

Nope didn't feel that one.

We had a couple of small ones this morning but never felt them.

[The Matrix Traveller]

Makes one wonder why, they use the word "Moderate" doesn't it ?

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 ?

[Flux]

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.
